I don't think it was coincidental, though - I think it was a case of a handful of fans legitimately using the term, but not remembering exactly where the phrase came from. I still remember the day that catalogue was rediscovered - until then I'd always been against the use of 'Seeker' and instead supported 'Skyraider'. 'Tetrajet' was also popular at the time. (And there was 'non-Blunderscrounge', which was randomly coined in one of my rants and yet it somehow made it into the Transformers FAQ: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~s...s/glossary.php)
