Even a child can make the association that "Thundercracker" is a combination of "Firecracker" (fun explosive sound toy, enjoyed for over a thousand years - get it?) and "Thunder" (big boom sound, in the skies, where jet planes go - get it?). Need I go on? If "Cracker" can be so easily taken as a racial slur, has the poll's author engaged Nabisco as well?

The word-associations offered in support of this poll's argument suggest deep seated psychological issues on the part of the poll's author (and an urgent need for extensive therapy for the author) much more than it suggests Hasbro curtail the creative influences at work in the naming of their robot characters.
