Well, to name a few:
 * Blackout was originally conceived as Soundwave, and afterwards went through other working names, including Vortex, Grimlock, Incinerator, and Devastator.
 * Transformers considered for the film included Brawl (a jeep), Frenzy (a Piranha III mortar artillery vehicle), Onslaught (a mobile missile launcher), Octane (a tanker truck), and three jets named Bitzwing, Starscream, and Devastator (a cargo plane, a 747 jet and F-16 fighter; the script doesn't say which is which).
