    Really? Never heard of that. Must be some sort of irony-based thing considering how many people are wanting to flee the economic trainwreak of New South Wales.

    I don't believe some sort of state-based tag is necessary. Not feeling the urge right now to do anything in the name of Ted Baillieu.

    I personally don't like the whole thing of "Victoria is south of the border, therefore Mexico." Feels so unnecessarily Yankocentric... as if NSW is pretending to be the United States... why?? (It's almost as if some NSWers think it's clever to insult Victorians by calling them Mexicans... but then the insult flies back at us because it makes us Americans. (-_-))NSWers call Vic "Mexico" but never refer to their own state as "The United States" nor ever refer to QLD as "Canada." Stupid inconsistency. Then there's the fact that the entire Australian continent is technically south of the Mexican border anyway.

    I like the tassie devil idea ( i can't believe they don't have an official animal emblem??). could go from angry marsupial to actual devil to robot and back again..

    I was thinking the same thing. We've got a few West Aussies chiming in on the construction/ mining vehicle thing. I liked the Sandgroper because it's insecticon'esque

    Otherwise I personally like this. We can repaint TF Cybertron Metroplex

    I indeed like the idea of a Livestreamed TF Monopoly game, state rivalries shouldn't be an issue surely.
    (For the record, I've never heard VIC being referred to as 'Mexico'; That title has always been reserved for the ACT and for obvious reasons. )

    @Bartrim: Spot-on man!
    Though, I'd also like to put forward the Sydney Funnel-web.
    (Especially when QLD can choose Banjo. )
