    Why don't you get it? He builds gadgets just like Bond's Q.

    Que is an homage to Que from James Bond.

    Nelson,

    I think I'm actually gonna get sick to my stomach with these names, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!! If Mercedes and Ferrari were not gonna let them use transformers names then why use the vehicles in the movie at all? Terrible planning by the casting crew or whoever picks out the cars and characters, Next thing you know soundwave is gonna be called Mercedesbot, Did they even think this out before they added the cars?

    Once again, here's how Hollywood works.

    Car company buys advertising space in the movie (aka "supplies prop cars").

    Car company gets a say in the presentation of their product (aka "the robot character").

    Hasbro produces toys based on movie robots, but has to respect licensing issues with the car company.

    That's the whole story.

    i understand but that just shows that some more homework should have been done. So what are they going to do about Soundwave?

    It's Que, pronounced "Q"

    I like both of the names; especially Que as a reference to Q from Bond (although I guess I would prefer just Q, but perhaps there is some licensing issues with that, and in reality how it's pronounced is more important). Dino is definitely old school Italian; certainly not as common nowadays, but depending on his personality and voice, it could really work well.
