>>91829297I don't think he's talking shit, I think he's just surprised and amused by it because it's a pretty odd name for a human.
Actually Action Man is pretty much a Transformer name in the sense that a lot of Cybertronians take names according to their personality, function, etc... It describes them while humans just have names that their parents thought sounded cool or they made up. Action Man describes who Ian is and it's pretty straightforward.
Heck the Joes' codenames kind of are the same, it describes their function or personality (although I still don't know why Snake Eyes is called that other than it sounds fucking cool).
