I did know that Transformers and My
Little Pony shared some names, as they are both owned by Hasbro but
after doing research, I find out that Transformers share more names with
G.I. Joe. According to this All Wiki page, they share about 85 names.
According to the same page, MLP and Transformers share 15 names, but
some are a bit of a stretch as it isn't the exact name. For example,
there is a Transformer named Scoop but in MLP there is Sweet Scoops and
Sweet Cream Scoops. Here are some that have the same exact names:

G1 Autobot was a beach buggy. G1 Beachcomber for MLP was a sea pony
