I owe it to BW for getting me into transformers in the first place. My personal transformers character, who I'll be designing this year will have some inspiration coming from Tigerhawk (yes, the 'hawk' part in my name comes from him), I have also had the honour of talking to Blu Mankuma on facebook.

To summarize, 'Taz' is a family nickname, 'a' was just the better option above 'e', 'i', 'o' or 'u', hawk comes from Tigerhawk. This was the original version of my name, Tazahawk, but after hearing that Megatron's name in TFP was originally Megatronus, I wondered how 'us' would go at the end of Tazahawk. Turns out, I liked the idea, thus my TF name now is Tazahawkus.
