This question is about the new recolored Combaticons for the Carrobots line.
I know that the combined super robot is called Baldigus. My question is
does anybody know what the names of the five individual robots are?

Blast Off = Shuttler
Brawl = Danker
Onslaught = Dolrailer
Swindle = Greejeeber
Vortex = Heptor

Your spelling may vary, of course. Just keep the root words in mind.
Shuttler, Tank-er, Trailer, Green Jeeper. and He(lico)pter.

Zobovor, refuses to call him Dengar, if only because I have a tough time seeing
Brawl as a bounty hunter.

I always thought any combaticon would be the best TF bounty hunter. I couldn't
compare Brawl to such a pathetic bounty hunter, though.

Close--Dangar. The "k" is definitely vocalized to a "g".

Other than that, correct.

The name is based on the English word "tank," right? The "g" spelling makes it
look too much like the word "danger," for my tastes.

I don't doubt your accuracy, of course. :)

Zobovor... Dangar, Will Robinson! Dangar!

Don't I know it, but Danker, despite having more recognizable roots in
"tank", is still wrong. :-S It's also easy to mistake it as "Dunker"...

:-) That's why I use the second "a" instead of an "e"--it should at
least induce some people to use the hard "g", so there's SOME connection
to "tank" possible for them to see, anyway.
