    I've always preferred the fan name, "Armor Masters". That way you can call attention to the team's main gimmick and pay homage to all the "-Master" sub-types of Transformers that were coming out at the time they were first introduced. It even works because each member had a smaller partner that becomes a part of them, just like Head-, Target- and Powermasters did.

    In Transformers roleplay, me and a friend of mine call these Decepticons something less embarrassing to say, but still close enough to the gimmick to be fitting. I gave them the name Heartmasters and also reinvented them into Decepticon members of the Transformers ninja group, the Six Clan. Members named, Leozak, Fellbat (renamed Hellbat), Jallguar, Ironbison (renamed Killbison), Guyhawk, Drillhorn, Lizak (who turns into Liokaiser's sword) and Cobranite (renamed Deathcobra, who turns into Liokaiser's shield) I also renamed their animal partners, giving one to Lizak and Cobranite as well. Lionbreast as Nemea (after the lion defeated by Hercules) Jaguarbreast as Jaguar (simple I know, but I couldn't think of anything else) Komoribreast as Revenant (spooky sounding) Hawkbreast as Rockbeak (kind of like Laserbeak, sort of) Bisonbreast as Rodeo (I mean why not?) Hornbreast as Dunehorn (close to his master's name, but it figures right?) Tigerbreast as Sphinx (he does have wing-like attachments after all) Eaglebreast as Garuda (after the bird monster from Indian myth) Cobranite's partner I named Coblast (slightly clever, but ya know) Lizak's partner is Sabor (after the leopard from the movie Tarzan)

The were probably just not thinking at all or completely unaware of the other definition referring to a woman's anatomy, considering all the Breastforce characters are male. "Donkey" comes from donkeys being stubborn. The whole mistyped "Monkey Kong" story is a myth. And Donkey Kong is a gorilla, so "Monkey Kong" would still be referring to the wrong animal.

That's certainly what it means for the Breastforce. So maybe "Armorforce" would be a better altered name? (Or "Platemasters"?

    Correction: "The unfortunate name" is due to the fact that "Chest" does not exist in the japanese language, and is a unisex word to describe both a male and female chest. This is also present in Mazinger Z's signature attack, Breast Fire. In short, "Breastforce" (named after their unique gimmick) in this context doesn't sound sexual at all where in the context of Kiss Players, the word is seen as sexual. Keep in mind that this is happening during the "sanitization era" of US animation during the Satanic Panic, between stuff like Kissyfur and the Little Clowns of Happytown.

We made it as an exclusive for a toy con in Norway, and there now exists only nine figures of Deathcobra in the world. The next year we changed it a bit and made it as an Autobot called Diveblade that combines as a right arm.

The Breast-Animals will simple be reffered to as minicons and their individual names will be Lionbeast, Komoribeast, Bisonbeast, Jaguarbeast, Hornbeast and Hawkbreast (I feel no need to rename Hawkbreast since breast just has a different connotation when its a bird). I'm also giving Lyzack her own minicon named Lynxbeast cause I feel she deserves it.😊 Despite the silly name, I love the Breastforce. Their dynamic was one of the highlights of Transformers Victory.

    Since they're kinda based off of the idea of knights wearing their crests on their breast plates, I've thought of a few new team names. "Crest Force", "CrestCons", or "CrestFormers" would be better names to me. They should have their "Crest Creatures" back, that double as their weapons & breastplates. And their new combined name should be "Crest King", "Kaiser Crest", or "Lio Crest".

    About time,Deathsaurus' goon squad gets some love...even if some them are sadistic AF. But, slight Deviation, Hasbro authorized Liokaiser to be a 5-bot combiner to keep things even with Computron in Earth Wars....have to wonder if the 6th bot will come back as a gun for Liokaiser? Side note: Here's hoping the Trainbots get a little love. I mean sure they have Masterpiece figures, but nothing for others. Also, for those unfamiliar, these bots, currently called "Destrons" are actually called the"Brestforce" (Deliberately misspelled based on the Anime) Two of the members, "Hellbat" and "Killbison" were renamed to "Fellbat" and "Ironbison Also, said Kill//ronbison is pretty fond of "flipping off" his adversaries

    I never understood why Hasbro didn't import them and sell them as "Battlemasters" (We already had Head, Power, Target, Brain, God, & Micro). Battlemasters makes sense when it comes to the chest components: +Attack when a Weapon, +Defense when a Plate & Balanced when an animal.

    To me liokaiser was unique, the way they toys had 2 gimmicks, that fact that the combiner was made up of 6 members instead of 5. So far the only new version on the "destrons" thats exactly like the originals was a 3rd party set. With Hasbro/Takara set to finish of Legacy Menasor within the next few months, there are plenty of Combiners for them to tackle now, who knows, maybe liokaiser will get a little love.

    The Japanese don't have any issues with the name. It's more that they've simply been passed over like most of the characters from that era: you don't see any new mainline toys of the three smaller Brainmasters, Multiforce, Victory Leo, Deathsaurus or Galaxy Shuttle either. Star Sabre is the poster boy of Victory. Everyone else is out in the cold.

    I’m seeing a lot of people commenting the seemingly loved fan name of “Armor Masters,” so I figure I’d take a crack at an alternate name. I saw the team deployed their companions as ranged laser weapons as well, and they still had the broad shaping as per the design of the toys in chest plate or animal form. I could see them redesigned so that the companions bots could be used in chest plate mode as a handheld shield, say, to accompany an energy saber. Ergo, how about “Shieldmasters?”

    The Japanese language has always preferred to use the word “breast” when using an English word for chest, and it’s never in reference to female anatomy. They did that because “chest” is very similar in pronunciation to an actual Japanese word, and that would be too confusing for the audience. But people can’t help but immediately associate it with boobs when it comes over here, despite the fact that terms like breastplate are still in our vocabulary. It’s not some crazy terrible word. They didn’t go around calling themselves the “boob patrol.”

    As an ESL tutor to Japanese people, this is why I tell my students to NEVER use Japanese English in actual English, to assume that almost all of these terms are incorrect, since, as shown with "breast" instead of "chest", either pronunciation or use are indeed incorrect. There are a few exceptions, like "anime" and "salaryman", but that's coz those terms are a culture unto their own. Though, I don't tell them to not use such in their own language, coz it's fine and ultimately harmless, with the sole exception of "mania", meaning what we would call "geek".

    You can defend penchant of the Japanese to use cool-sounding (in their opinion) English words semi-randomly in their media, but no matter how you slice it, "Breastforce" is a silly name. Even if you skip the mammaries connotation, the next most popular one refers to meat cut from poultry. If Hasbro has any serious plans to incorporate Japanese media to Transformers in the west, they need to hire someone talented to rewrite 80% of names so they don't stick out like a sore thumb. The recently announced Velocitron "Galaxy Shuttle" is one of those cases in dire need of a new name.

    If they ever merge the characters with modern transformers media, the "Chestforce" for lack of a solid name at this point, could come from the same colony planet as all those Animal themed Decepticons that still turned into Vehicles from RiD, the ones who were held on the prison ship Alcamor. That is one way they could explain the oddness of those Animal Decepticons from that series and leave the door open for such a concept if any future TF writers wanted to use it and bring back any of the RiD Alcamor Prisoners as-is rather than having to re-design them to fit. Steeljaw and Thunderhoof are probably enjoyed exactly as they are, so fans of the characters would probably dislike their designs being changed. I know I got off topic there but the out-of-placeness of the RiD Animal Decepticons always bugged me, so I always wanted to give them a proper explanation on why they are like that, and the Breast Force really fit the bill, given that they are Animal themed Decepticons who still oddly turn into vehicles.
