I'd have gone with "Orionfeld" myself.Since TF One has everyone in a pre-war mood....
Pax The Robot Show About Nothing
And with an arrival from Japan the whole family is together at last.
-ZacWilliam, Terrans Assemble.
I still prefer "Maltobots".
Think of it like "Terran" is to "Autobot" as "Maltobot" is to "any number of Autobot subfactions like the Autobot Cars, the Dinobots, the Jumpstarters, etc."
Like, Aftermath and Spitfire are both Terrans, but not Maltobots since they rejected joining the Malto family.
I gotta get those Japanese deluxes already.
I hope they someday make a Core class Twitch.

I was thinking of it more as like Terrans were the Earth-born equivalent of Cybertronians, while the Maltobots were sort of like what you said: the Malto family subset of the Autobots.
The thing is, the show establishes the Terrans as being Cybertronians, just classified as "Cybertronus terran" rather than "Cybertronus cybertronii". In other words, Earth-born Cybertronians instead of Cybertron-born ones.
Good way if putting it. I think that still works (replace equivalent with branch, perhaps). Maltobots is a good term for the family-affiliated Terrans, especially since they tend to (iirc) take on the Malto surname.
Maltobots sounds like something from a snack food commercial.

Sounds like they're an off-brand cereal more than anything else.
Thundertron is putting together a team, I wonder where they plan to rob?
