    Isn't there a push out there to call it Generation 3? I've seen it on TFW2005 a few times, and Fansproject's G3 trailer seems to be an obvious reference to the name Generation Three. So I'd like to suggest Gen3 or simply G3 to replace CHUGURTS.

    Am I kawaii chuguu~? *^3^*

    Yeah, thanks to the internet I can't take CHUGU seriously. ahaha!

    Personally, I like to call it Neo-G1, because I can't think of a better way to describe it. :/ That's what it is.
    neo- a combining form meaning “new,” “recent,” “revived,” “modified,”

    G3 / Generations 3 - sums it up nicely. G3 Henkei Thrust, Gen3 Drift, Generation 3 WfC Megatron... etc

    Otherwise I nominate 'Filler'... Filler Henkei Thrust, Filler Drift, Filler WfC Megatron... etc. Just calling a spade a spade.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    The problem with referring to CHUGU as "Classics" is that it might be confusing to new members who may not be aware of this consensus -- unless you include it somewhere on the front page or signup or board policy or something. We'd run into the same problem with "Generation 3" -- arguably an even greater problem since none of the CHUGU lines were ever officially called "Generation 3."

    What about "Classicsverse" or "Classics Universe" ... it still has the word "Classics," but by tacking on "-verse" or "Universe" you're implying that it's everything from the Classics universe (which would include Henkei, Universe 2.0, Generations, United etc.). Quite a few fans refer to Armada/Energon/Cybertron as "Armadaverse." But I must say that I more frequently see people refer to it as AEC.

    Maybe we should have a poll? Between Classics or Gen 3, I'd run with Classics. One problem with using "Generations 3" is that if HasTak ever decide to officially use this term for an entirely different and unrelated line/concept then we'd run into problems. It's bad enough when Hasbro goes and reuses the same names for different concepts. (-_-)
