    Shazam is the name of a singer from some rnb group called H-Town. I first used this nickname back in the days of ICQ and I've been using it in other forums since then coz its easier to remember. But now I'm thinking I should change it to be more TF related.

    Zahhak is name from an old persian myth/story, (im from iran you see) Zahhak was a king you was tricked by ahriman(a deamon/god of darkness) and subsequintly had two snakes grow out of his shoulders. He then had to feed the snakes a brain everyday or they would eat his. Oh and if you cut them they grow back yadda yadda yadda.
    I use it cause I like the word and recantly I've been wanting to do a repraint of cybertron Scourge to make him into a transformer,

    I used to go by Guts, but that was almost always taken on various forums and games, so I renamed myself after the Megaman boss Gutsman, slapped Heavy on the end 'cos I though it sounded cool. Also doubles as physical description of myself!

    Ironic then that you've chosen Shockwave in your avatar and sig image - so he'd be Deceptic Optic (singular). That cycloptic fiend!

    Yeah that makes sense - Transformers often referred to their eyes as optics or optic sensors.

    haha your welcome, I'm impressed someone even know it's called farsi.

    I've never really thought about how people choose their usernames...and now I can't stop. On WaR today I say a Chosen by the name of "Iceblend Frappichino"..needless to say I laughed..also there was someone by the name Scorpinok

    hmmm in Filipino Fiction Mythos ( comics superheroes/ villains) this sounds like Zuma, although his origins are more Aztec as he feeds on virgin hearts and he has two boas on his shoulders, he sired two mutant kids who rebelled against him coz Zuma is evil - Galema who has 2 white serpent on her shoulders whose venom can kill Zuma and Dino ( head of serpent, body of man big serpent tail and claws to boot.)

    As for me liegeprime

    liege - the titular given to the big bossbot for decepticons ( either that or lord)
    prime - the titular given to the big bossbot for autobots ( either that or - hey you! )

    I like decepticons better, I collected Decepticons first in most of the lines before moving to the Autos - even in Gi Joes I prefer Cobras ( thats another toyline though) so I placed liege ahead of prime instead of vice versa.

    One back draw is it twists the tongue of some other members at first which I find amusing as they at times refer to me as Liger, or ligier - which is of course from Zoids and Jap mirage respectively. Both of which is WRRROOOOOONG! FUSION BLAST to the Cab!

    "Blink", as in Blink 182, and "90210", as in Beverley Hills 90210. Two of my guilty pleasures from the 90's.
