Up until now, I thought Heavy Duty was the only character whos real life alias was changed. I just found out Breaker's name was changed as well. Except for Scarlett, Duke, and Destro, I couldn't name one character without a filecard in hand. Has anyone else had their names changed for this movie and is there a reason why?

So they can use those codenames and not really need to change/ruin the real/original one. for HD i guess it allowed them to use him with no relation to Roadblock maybe in a sequel. Breaker is foreign now so hes really just a new one.
wish they did this with Ripcord but guess they wanted to keep a few more of the original names |

Breaker is Abel Shaz now. Heavy Duty is Hershel Dalton. Cobra Commander is now Rex Lewis (as opposed to UNKNOWN). Everyone else has been keep the same as far as I've seen. I am wondering if the Baroness has a new filename or not.

Baroness' name still remains to be Baroness Anastasia, not sure if the last name is DeCobray. Read it in the prequel comic book.

They did change the relationship between the Baroness on CC. Now they are brother and sister.

Baroness is originally Ana Lewis, then becomes Ana Decobray when she marries and becomes the Baroness.
Other then that, that's the only name change.

Explains the American accent. They should've made it British, I'd like it better that way.

I heard in the sequel they're going to reveal that Snake-Eye's real name is Ernie Dinklefat. Reason why? It tested well in target demographic polls

I can understand changing a character's origin and relationships in order to either make it fit into a 2 hour movie or to translate it to film a little better, but I still see no reason, unless it was a rights issue, for them to change names of characters when they'll already be called by their codenames most of the time. It really seems like one of those "Hollywood changes" that is quite unnecessary.
