Yeah, that was originally the case, but these days it's trademark-keeping. Most blatantly when he changed his name to Galvatron halfway through Armada and then back again when he turned up in Energon, then back to Galvatron again near the end of that series. Hasbro's VP of intellectual property said in so many words that this stupidity was done to protect their trademarks on both names.

Well, in terms of bad design it was more the infinite respawns that don't go away until you've walked well past them. Finishing the level on Veteran is basically a matter of hoping the game screws you over slightly less than usual.
