Some people may choose to give their characters a name first, but I recommend doing it later on. Transformers generally have names comprised of two different words merged into one.
For example:
Shock + Wave = Shockwave
Sound + Wave = Soundwave
Wheel + Jack = Wheeljack
Side + Swipe = Sideswipe
Lock + Down = Lockdown
And so on and so on. They may also have names that are single words, but sound cool.
For example:
Ratchet
Perceptor
Drift
Optimus
Swindle
The name you pick for your character should reflect what they can do, or maybe what their alternate mode is. Like how Wasp was named because he was very accurate with his Stinger ability, or how Ironhide was named for having very strong armour. Go wild!
