Right - Your urgent help is required in an educational matter! Bet you never thought your knowledge in Transformers would be of educational use!
I've a 'Cybertron series loving' son thats just started school and in an attempt to help him learn his alphabet, I want to make him some 'flash cards' and 'an alphabet wall chart'.
I started listing the Transformers he owns personally and then starting filling in the gaps with the names of others he's heard of from the series. See below for what I have so far.
Currently I'm stuck for ideas for the following letters; F, G, I, K, T, X, Y and Z - ideally I'd like to keep it Cybertron series orientated though I fear this might be impossible to achieve, in which case I'll happily accept whatever you have to offer up.
Once I get a complete list I'll start the image hunt and creating the flash cards and wall chart.
My thanks in advance

G for Galvatron
T for Thundercracker
For the rest you have to leave Cybertron; there are some in Armada and Energon.
For X the only known figure I can find is X-Brawn, but he's from Robots in Disguise (RiD) which aired around 2000.
Y only has Yokuryu from Victory, from the early 90's.
Z gives you Zoom-Zoom, the red Jazz alternator, or Zapmaster, Armada Thundercracker's Mini-Con.

Y is a complete bummer- there really is only that Japanese one.
Pity about X, too, unless you want to go with Xaaron, from the old comics in the 80s.
There's also Zigzag, the Japan-only mini-con. What sort of images are you using? Artwork, screenshots or pictures of the toys?

Thanks for the help guys!
I can't believe I forgot Galvatron and Thundercracker (he even has this one!)
I've updated my first post with those of iceman / Matrix
Thanks Soundwave for the link - very useful scanning it - I changed my original choice - Excillion to Evac (since he actually features in the series).
As to the images I'll use - Im not really sure yet guess I'll just google images and see what I get for each one (if you guys have ideas for this it'll be greatly appreciated) Just bear in mind they have to be simple - I can't afford to spend too much time on this - time is of the essence, as they say!
I'll keep the additional suggested names incase I have trouble with obtaining the images of those I have listed above.
F, I and K still need names - keep the suggestions coming please
Morty

For the images, you may wish to follow Soundwave9504's link to TFU. There they have pictures of the vast majority of figures and so your son may recognise them better as they'll be photos of the things he actually owns.
You could use Inferno for I. He's not a character from Cybertron, but he was in the Energon series which came right before Cybertron.
As for K, and here my fellow forum-goers may make me an outcast for listing a generally-despised human character, you could use Kicker, also from Energon. He's not a Transformer per se, he's a guy in a suit of armour but it gets the K sound across quite well.
F is somewhat more difficult. I've spooled back through a few lines and the first F I come across is Fireflight who appeared in a funny offshoot line called Universe about 3 years ago. Like Kicker though, repeated use of the appropriate sound which you may consider an advantage and this is the most recent figure beginning with an F that isn't some strange japanese name.

Cheers guys! - thanks for your continued help
I'm going to go with Inferno, Kicker and Fireflight (easier to pronounce than the japanese names) - I'll keep the others in reserve incase of image problems.
I'm going to start the cards / wall chart but in the meantime anyone care to suggest an easier to pronounce Y - I'm not even sure how to pronounce Yokuryu myself! 
Thanks once again
Morty
Edit: - I've now got all the images saved (using images of the toys primarily - he'll recognise them better).

So what do you think guys?
I had 6 spare slots at the end and so I added a few more Cybertron favourites.
Thanks to everyone thats helped  - I couldn't have done this without you - really appreciated. Now if anyone can help me with the correct pronounciation of Yokuryu?

Yo-koo-ri-oo (I think that's right. I know how to pronounce it but I'm just not great at writing in phoenetics) The "yo" part is a short o.

As another alternative for Y you may wish to use Yuki. Again, it's a japanese term (You-ki). Yuki was a human child who appeared in a Japanese series called Car Robots back in 2000. The series was dubbed into english and released in the western world under the name Robots in Disguise. Like Kicker, he's not a Transformer, but it might be a bit easier to pronounce.
