    Why does it need a name?
    When did it become necessary for Bots to start naming their accessories like pet names for people's privates... it's a bit like Beast Wars introducing vocal commands to transform. This is just a gimmick that comes from Japan and Hasbro only does it on some occasions as a nod to the Japanese gimmick or as an easter egg to fans who might recognise the names.
    Where is the voting option to have no name... because I'm one who doesn't like it because it is usually a lame or forced inclusion that is more often cringe-worthy or out of place.

    Abstain from voting i guess? Number of visitors - number of votes = those that don't want a name.

    ^not quite that accurate actually.

    Nobody nominated "no name" during the first round, but I suppose if anyone feels that strongly about not naming it, then just reply (or PM me if you wish to remain anonymous) with "No name" and I'll manually count that.

    I'll count yours as a vote for that, griff.

    I'm going to make a call here, as I need to submit a name that will be acceptable by Hasbro, so I'm going to choose Skyboom Shield.

    Thank you, everyone.

    If it wasn't a serious option, why did you have it in the poll options?

    Next time, make the judgement call beforehand and say why it needs to be a serious vote, otherwise, don't go to all this trouble and then get peoples hopes dashed.
