    I think we should call it Stalwart Shield. It's the name of one of Daenerys unsullied in the Game of Thrones books

    Huperakron

    Silverbolt's slightly ironic fear of heights is well known. During one of the many battles in the Great War, a build up of this fear led to Silverbolt breaking off during a strafing run with his fellow Aerialbots and subsequently being shot down. Disorientated after impact, his assailant moved in for the kill however his shot was deflected at the last instant by an unknown bot wielding a shield. This gave Silverbolt the moment he needed to recover, fire back and kill the Decepticon.

    The unknown bot, face and features shrouded by make-shift scrap metal armour and camouflage cloaks, paused to hand him the shield before hurrying off to the next fire fight. "Here, take this shield. Looks like you need it more than me." he said, looking back over his shoulder. Unsure if it was a trick of the light from the setting sun or a side affect of his crash, Silverbolt thought there seemed to be a calming glow around the outline of the mysterious bot, before he disappeared. Placing the shield over his forearm he felt instantly relaxed, and his anxieties leaving him. The scratches, dents and blast marks indicated it had seen many battles. Who knows how many times it had saved it's previous owner?

    Standing up to get back into the fight with renewed courage, Silverbolt looked around one last time. Not seeing anyone in any direction he shrugged his shoulders and took off, meeting the rest of the Aerialbots in the sky. From that moment on, Silverbolt found that whenever he wore the shield he was able to forget his fears and move beyond them, not letting them hold him back in his duty to the Autobot cause.

    Helios Shield (sun shield).

    Superion, the combiner which Silverbolt forms the core of, is named for a partial latinisation of the Greek Titan Hyperion. Hyperion fathered Helios, the sun, among other celestial bodies, so drawing the link between the largest component of the combiner and the celestial body around which others orbit seems appropriate.

    Praise the sun!

    can a mod change it? huperakron as a word actually maybe looks kinda lame but more closely matches the translation i was going for. maybe hyperakron looks and sounds better?

    out of 7 people so far nobody voted for it anyway so it might not matter but yeah...
