So they should take out "Thundercracker" because of the word "cracker," which also has other meanings besides being a racial slur? I guess that means we can't eat saltine crackers anymore.

And how is Blackout racist? Because it uses the word "black" in the name? Guess we shouldn't use the color black because "OH NOES THAT'S RACIST!1!" Same with Roadblock: "THAT SOUNDS LIKE 'BLACK'!!1!"

And just because the toy has random serial numbers that JUST HAPPENS to reference marijuanna doesn't mean that's exactly what it's supposed to do.

And let's outlaw any type of movie with violence and fights, and even sports that involves brawls, like wrestling, boxing, martial-arts, etc.

With "CliffJumper," guess we can't go skydiving or hang-gliding anymore because "OH NOES IT'S REFERENCING SUICIDE!!1!" Same goes for all the other names you listed here because "HOW DARE THEY REFERENCE HELL AND THE DEVIL AND RACIAL SLURS!!1!"

This is all ridiculous for one reason; no kid is going to care what the names behind their toys mean. On top of that, most of these names are names for ROBOTS. Blackout, Blitzwing, Acid Storm, Cliffjumper, etc...Not human beings. A kid isn't going to see the connection between the reference in the name and the character either.

Please use some common sense the next time you make one of these, ma'am. You're overthinking kids' toys too much here.
