When i see that name, makes me think i'm already suspected! *sneeks away, outta sight*. I'm a good little bot. I am! :P
lol I was actually indicating that I am the Prime Suspect, but it's interesting to get another perspective :pQuote:

I don't mine is a very interesting explanation, but I'll say this: "In light of the spirit of the Primes, the darkest hour shall be brightened by a better future."
Yeah, yeah, stupid quote, but I liked it and decided to call myself Spiritprime, for the spirits of the Primes will always burn brightly to illuminate the darkness we live in.
Shattered Glass Megatron - my most favorite version of character.
Generation 1 - my other most favorite version of him.
SG + G1 = SG1.
What you would get if you put the two together.
If the username "Megatron" ever becomes available here, I'll be the first in line to take it! (As if it'll happen I know..)
Interesting thread btw!
Mine was based on Soundwave.
First thought about something to do with the decepticon then I thought computer systems, which turned into cyber.
'Wing' just randomly popped up because I just remembered that the Prime Soundwave is another iteration with a flying alt mode.
I cna't help but think of Stargate when I read your username. some strange amalgam of Megatron and Richard Dean-Anderson:)Quote:

LOL.. I was wondering if anyone would point that out coz I had the same thought. :D Hmm who knows.. maybe in some strange alternate universe he could lead a Stargate team... *fanfic xover idea pops up* Yeah it's purely coincidental - no relation at all.Quote:

because the stargate series is called SG1. So no tf G1 reminder in there sorry.
You're right... sigh. Unfortunately, that's not the impression I wanted to make. If I had chosen G1 only, then SG (Shattered Glass) would have been left out - and I love them both.Quote:

Mines pretty simple. My name is Ken. I like Spider-man. 17 is my favourite number (Dick Johnson's racing number).
Result, Spiderken 17.
Sorry i don't have a cool story. :)
So with many great members on these boards I have noticed some very interesting names. Mine is in it's second incarnation (I think) I had jetfireinthesky but forgot the password after many years away and no longer had the email. The new one is Jetfire in the sky which is obviously the same with spaces :)
So to the point, I was wondering why did you choose your user name and/or what does it mean?
Jetfire is my all-time favourite toy and his cartoon character Skyfire was much needed air support for the Autobots and thus became one of my favourite characters. Skyfire was first introduced to the cartoon in an episode called Fire in the sky, hence Jetfire in the sky.
I would be happy with any of my favorite characters' names, but I had to pick one, so... why not the one and only true leader of the Decepticons himself? ;)
I LOVE my username. :)
Well my name is new! It was 'Fagnar1' until a day ago but wanted it changed to 'Omega Metro' which is short for 2 certain giant Autobots.:)
Now that I think of this, I should have done ILoveSoundwave not like.:p
Weren't you once SG 1??:confused::pQuote:

Yes, but because my first preference was already taken I had to think of something else, so I added the starting letters of two of my favorite continuities (Shattered Glass, Generation 1).Quote:

Yeah real exciting stuff :cool:
I used to do a bit of stencil graffiti art and was going through a bit of a superhero stencil phase when I decided to do a series of transformer stencils. I was searching for an image of Prime when I came across the then just released Masterpiece Prime MP01. I bought one, bought some other TFs, joined this board and forgot all about stencil art and bonsai and decided that customising transformers would be my new hobby. They're all very similar hobbies.... intricate and detailed and I find them all very theraputic.
Stencil art is how I rediscovered transformers and so I wanted to sound like a stencil making machine... hence STENCILATOR!
That is a really cool story. So i take it the TF stencils were never finished. Would be great to see some of your work.Quote:

Karnivool is a local band in Perth that I grew up listening to. The 8 represents the oo stacked on-top of each other and Prime is the rank (TFA) that I gave myself
Put your undies back on the outside!!! <shakes.fist> :p :p :pQuote:

So yeah, named after the humanoid who is binary bonded to Optimus Prime. My other choices were Ginrai, Skids or Death's Head.
People can ask to have their names changed or altered if they want. You just have to remember to log in with the new name next time.
Mine is also a bit unimaginative. AJ: my initials. Prime: Who doesn't love Optimus Prime? He's the kind of leader/person whose qualities I would aspire to mirror.
Being a Prime is the bombQuote:

I already explained this in my intro thread, but I guess it doesn't hurt to post it again.
I used to go by Faceless on message boards, but found increasingly that the name was not available.
At the time I was thinking of switching usernames, a girl took to calling me 'j'.
Her name was Adelaide, but she hated it, and insisted on being called 'a' (for some reason it had to be lowercase) and decided to shorten my name (Jake) in the same fashion.
So noface from Faceless and j from a pet name a girl had for me.
It's often assumed it's meant to be a nod to the character from Spirited Away, but it's a total coincidence.
Bizarrely I occasionally find nofacej is unavailable as well.
I guess it doesn't fit so well now that I'm using a drawing of my face as my avatar.
When I found out about Ozformers I was way toooooo excited to join to spend any amount of time coming up with a kool name. And I'm terrible at speling.
The tale of the origin of my username is shrouded in so much secrecy and deciet that it would pain you to hear the tale. Hence it shall never be told ;)
^ lol.... :p:D
It's a long story, so I hope you're sitting comfortably.
I am registered on the Comic Book Resources forums under the name Zombie Uatu, as at the time I registered the Marvel Zombies series had just come out and I liked the idea of a zombie version of the Watcher. I post on those forums very rarely these days because I've found it to be a wretched hive of scum and negativity, but I liked the name.
So then when I was registering on a TF fansite - I think it was TFormers, though I haven't posted there in years - I decided to stick with the zombie theme, and I was Zombie Galvatron. So why aren't I Zombie Galvatron on here?
Well, I've always been a big fan of the Wheel of Time series of novels, and a few years ago, I decided to make my triumphant return to the fan community. Naturally, I had a theme, so I decided to go with it, and I re-registered as Zombie Sammael. Sammael (with two Ms) is the name of a major villain in the series who dies midway through, but is later impersonated by another character in mysterious circumstances, which led some fans to theorise he had come back as a zombie. So the name was apt. Anyway, I managed to build up a bit of a reputation as ZS or Zombie and decided I liked it, but the problem I had with using it in other situations was that "Samael" is a very old name sometimes given to the devil, and I didn't much like the idea that people might see that and think I was some Goth kid who couldn't spell. So I shortened it to Zommael for use as my Twitter handle.
Around this time, me and an Australian lady who also posts in the WOT community were really starting to hit it off, and a few months later we got together. A few months after that I moved to Australia from the UK, and that was around the time I registered on Ozformers. I have now been here for well over a year and me and my girlfriend are getting married later this year. So as you can imagine, I now have some emotional attachment to the name as well.
Thus, Zommael I am and Zommael I will remain. And if anyone wants to follow me on Twitter they may do, though I don't tweet about TFs very often. Also if there are any other WOTers on this board I'd be very glad to know you!
You're into the Wheel of Time? You must be a good bloke then :D I used to hang out on the WoT boards but have t been there in years and actually I tried to log in last year but couldn't remember my username/password, unless they deleted it because it was inactive for so long.Quote:
