    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.

    can a mod change it? huperakron as a word actually maybe looks kinda lame but more closely matches the translation i was going for. maybe hyperakron looks and sounds better?

    out of 7 people so far nobody voted for it anyway so it might not matter but yeah...

    Yeah, don't trust Google Translate.

    Let's cross that space bridge if it gets voted in. I personally prefer to remain faithful to the original translation.

    But not when it came to mine I could no longer vote for my suggestion. No big loss, just pointing it out.

    True. Although again, we can review that option if it gets voted in.

    Despite my own suggestion, I actually voted for Skyboom Shield. It's obviously the best name. Although I gave my actual Skyboom Shield to Silver Knight Optimus Prime so that Grimlock could keep his shield which doesn't have a name. Gah.

    I actually prefer Bob Silvot - but better change it to B.O.B stands for Breaker of Beams (as in laser beams) that way we can finally put Bob to rest and move on to either Gary or Ned when naming things

    oh and in naming things I bet Roadbuster would approve of this, yes he would.

    I don't quite get the naming of a shield either. maybe if it had a long and gloried history. like some of the swords in Lord of the Rings.
    The name out to reflect the strengths of the shield, or it's owner.

    I'm trying to come up with something that reflects his supersonic alt mode, shockwave, compression wave, sonic boom, Delta (wing)... shield

    it all feels a bit corny, I vote for no name.
