Recently received the Ehobby black Gen1 Starscream figure, and was so impressed by the colours, I've been regretting not getting it when it was
released (I'm not a huge fan of exclusive black redecos... and there were a few of them going around in Japan at that time).

Anyway, I am just loving the black, gold and grey of this toy, to the point that it shouldn't be wasted on an existing character. Especially since it
isn't homaging anything (like the transparent one being his ghost version).

So if this toy was to be given its own character name, what would you name it?

Isn't he just beautiful?
He looks foreboding, yet regal...

So much better in person than the photos I used to see of it when it was released about 8 years ago.

Very easy one, he should be named... Griffin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin)! :p

Storm Shadow.

Reasons:
+ 'Shadow' refers to his blackness
+ 'Storm' makes it match the whole 'storm' theme of the "Neo-Seekers" (e.g. Sunstorm, Acidstorm etc.)
+ Feels more "Hasbro" since it's the name of a G.I. Joe character, and we've often had several Transformers and G.I. Joes who share the same name (e.g. Scoop, Stalker, Skydive etc.) - Storm Shadow is also an uber kick-butt character (as Snake Eyes' counterpart)

Darkstar or sure, having the insane ability to create localised Blackholes in front of one's enemies - I know I'd fear that name! :cool:

Go B.O.B.! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5ySBeCV_zM)

How about "Hellscream"? Would also be a neat reference to Beast Wars (Predacon) Starscream's Cyberbeast upgrade. ;)

EB: "What is your name, boy ?"
Boy: "Kate."
EB: "Kate, that's an unusual name for a boy."
Boy: "It's short for ... Bob."

(Sorry Blackadder pun :D :)


Actually thats the first name that did pop up in my head too when I seen the question.
