So what does "Deceptic Optics" mean? Well, I know what 'optics' means, but what's the meaning behind "Deceptic"?
From 1993-1996 I used the online handle "Gokuu" as at the time I was a big Dragonball fan (not so much now tbh). Then after I started interacting with the online Transformers fandom I changed my handle to "Goktimus Prime" in 1997. So it's a combination of "Son Gokuu" + "Optimus Prime." In Japanese I use the handle "Son Convoy" but most Japanese fans just call me "Son" (similar to how most English speakers just call me "Gok") - although IRL I'm usually called "Goki" by both English and Japanese speaking friends alike. "Goki" was first coined by one of the executives at AniméUNSW; at a screening in 2000 I guess he decided he couldn't be bothered calling me "Goktimus Prime" all the time, so he just shouted, "GOKI!" across the lecture theatre, and ever since then the nick has stuck (as you can hear here). :)

Deceptic - short for Decepticon
and
Optics - I got it from Megatron saying to prime, "I'll rip your optics" to my guess he was talking about primes eyes? So Optics = Eyes
Shazam is the name of a singer from some rnb group called H-Town. I first used this nickname back in the days of ICQ and I've been using it in other forums since then coz its easier to remember. But now I'm thinking I should change it to be more TF related.
Zahhak is name from an old persian myth/story, (im from iran you see) Zahhak was a king you was tricked by ahriman(a deamon/god of darkness) and subsequintly had two snakes grow out of his shoulders. He then had to feed the snakes a brain everyday or they would eat his. Oh and if you cut them they grow back yadda yadda yadda.
I use it cause I like the word and recantly I've been wanting to do a repraint of cybertron Scourge to make him into a transformer,
+1 very interestingQuote:

I used to go by Guts, but that was almost always taken on various forums and games, so I renamed myself after the Megaman boss Gutsman, slapped Heavy on the end 'cos I though it sounded cool. Also doubles as physical description of myself!
Ironic then that you've chosen Shockwave in your avatar and sig image - so he'd be Deceptic Optic (singular). That cycloptic fiend! ;)Quote:

BigPenney was my nickname at highschool. It started off as just Penney and then when my little brother came to the highschool it was changed to Big Penney and he became Little Penney :D. And because I lack imagination and I'm so use to being called BigPenney it's just what I end up using for fourms.
LINT was the name I used to call all my characters back in the old gameboy games days when they only offered you 4-5 character spaces to write your name. Probably stems a bit from the default LINK from Zelda games and my underlying amusement by pocket lint.
There's a joke in BigPenney's story there somewhere! ;)

TheDirtyDigger: Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ. (T_T)
It was back in the nineties, and Beast Wars Sky Shadow was the first Transformer ever bought for me by a girlfriend. She came home one day with a Sky Shadow and it soon became one of my favourite Transformers toys (and he also had one of the best tech-specs profiles of his era.) Before that, I had the sort of Grimlockbunchofnumbers username that was so generic that even I can't remember it anymore, but after that, 'Sky Shadow' just kind of stuck.
(Great topic. And I can't wait to hear the complex stories about how Griffin, Paulbot, Blackie and Robzy got their names... :p;))
Yep, I'm one of the few (as noted at lunch today) with a username related to my actual name.
I'm Paul and I think I'm one of the guy guys hence "bot".
I signed up for Tripod with Paulbot (back in the days where Transformers had names like that and Tripod was the website building place to be) and have stuck with it as a username in many places since then.
my username is a reflection of how lazy i can be sometimes.
So it doesnt come from having a lot of naval lint??Quote:

The similarities in names with the G1 gestalt is just a remote coincidence.
hmmm in Filipino Fiction Mythos ( comics superheroes/ villains) this sounds like Zuma, although his origins are more Aztec as he feeds on virgin hearts and he has two boas on his shoulders, he sired two mutant kids who rebelled against him coz Zuma is evil - Galema who has 2 white serpent on her shoulders whose venom can kill Zuma and Dino ( head of serpent, body of man big serpent tail and claws to boot.)Quote:

I like decepticons better, I collected Decepticons first in most of the lines before moving to the Autos - even in Gi Joes I prefer Cobras ( thats another toyline though) so I placed liege ahead of prime instead of vice versa.
One back draw is it twists the tongue of some other members at first which I find amusing as they at times refer to me as Liger, or ligier - which is of course from Zoids and Jap mirage respectively. Both of which is WRRROOOOOONG:mad::D! FUSION BLAST to the Cab!
"Blink", as in Blink 182, and "90210", as in Beverley Hills 90210. Two of my guilty pleasures from the 90's.
As an English teacher, I like the way that your board name contains an i-before-e word, but in real life, you have an e-before-i name. (English - the language that brought us such varying pronunciations of the same letter group as 'ought, 'through', 'cough', 'thorough', 'tough', 'dough', 'plough' and 'hiccough'. Ain't it grand?)Quote:

It has no special meaning to me but I ran with it.
Nothing particularly special about my name. In my early years at highschool most people called me Ad, and then to "Aussie-ify it" Adz, then someone slapped the m and the a from Adam on the end in reverse order. I made it my email address and it just kind of stuck on internet boards.

I used to own this yellow checked shirt. I've always been a big chap, and one day one of my friends mentioned that if I was standing still wearing this shirt, then out of the corner of his eye I looked like a sofa.
So SofaMan was born, and over this years has slowly had an increasingly lengthy mythology constructed around him. :D
Your a game man to admit that:pQuote:

and thats it:)
I made up a word. Loosly based on the name of a mythological lion statue that I found in an anceint art book. I know I changed a few characters but I can't find a reference to the statue or the creature/character on the google.
Oi youQuote:

i do alot of drawing and one day i done a drawing of a beast wars maximal in the style of the movie-verse asthetic and the atl mode was a bull, origionally i was going to call him beast wars movie iron hide, but then i thought it wasnt very origional so i figured why not Raging Bull.
so now when ever i sign up to a tf website, the name is RagingBull.
Snaketales has a dual origin
At uni while working on the student newspaper I was known as 'snake' for
1. being 'lower than snake's balls' in scamming freebies (I didn't scam them, I just made sure I was first for concert reviews, etc ;))
2. being cold-blooded when it came to subbing/re-writing stories.
After uni I labelled one of my emails to a friend as 'snaketales' i.e tales from snake, and I've used it since then.
I originally came up with my name back when I was a huge fan of Dragon Booster (not so much now, since it went downhill as it went on). In the show, dragons were all classified by colours-red, green, black, etc, with gold as the most powerful. But there was no silver, and I like silver (half because it was my favourite Pokemon version). So, tadah, SilverDragon.
I'd have made a new name for the TF boards, but I was thinking that silver=metal, and TMII Megatron popped up in my head.
So it fit.
its from a david Gammel book from the character Skillganon the Damned
a long long time ago, when the earth was ruled by dinobots... i was doing a joint project with my friend for a manga series and one day i had to make an email address. So i picked one of my main character names, which, i tell you now, no one had until last friggin year. I had a unique name but now its blended with everyone else :( the full name is Sparkling Yukitora (yuki/setsu = snow, tora = tiger). that icon is of a different style to what i normally do, but it's close to what the character is. my other name is Tyranidkisses, from wahammer 40k.
Eons ago there was a mythical land, or so the tale goes, which was divided into 2 malevolent races of creatures: Humans and Demons. Savaged by war, their world was almost annihilated. One lone warrior, whose name was Yzbor, discovered a mystical and powerful portal... a single point in space that contained each and every other point in the universe. Anyone who gazed into it acquired the ability to view the far reaches of the universe, and every moment in time from every angle simultaneously, without distortion or confusion.
And so it came to pass that this mighty warrior entered in to the portal and became a god! To distinguish Himself from His former life, so as not to confuse His many subjects and His many, many, many stunningly beautiful young wives, He reversed His name to Robzy.
Robzy, the immortal, is here now. Yes, my loyal subjects, I am that man. I am that God! I am the Supreme Ruler of the universe and time.
I AM ROBZY! Kneel before me and worship me!
And by an amazing coincidence ‘Robzy’ also happens to be the nickname of your Leader’s surname!
But ur name is Linton right? If so you're only the 3rd one I know of including myselfQuote:
