    12 just seemed like a nice number... like, the number of months in the year.

    I thought even thought he was fairly new you'd find a way to put Spastic on that list.

    If it weren't hypenated, then it would be "Skidz" which would be pronounced like "Skids" (and actually be a more phonetically correct spelling). But as it is hyphenated, I've always pronounced it as "Skid-Zed." I suppose Americans would be calling him "Skid-Zee." What about in the Robots In Disguise dub... how did they pronounce his name there?

    No matter what, I'm still calling him Skid Zed. Not to be confused with our Lord Zed.

    Yeah, he hasn't been around long enough to be "iconic." Once he hits shelves then totally.
