I got this big guy and restored the periscope function by measuring and cutting up a toy mirror
Works like a champ
Also he has a new name

Shades Shadow

Black as night with a spark that's just as dark
This night assassin will stab you in the back from the air!
and has the tech to do so with enhanced stealth and sensor capabilities
Speed 7
Strength 6
Intelligence 8
Firepower 7
Courage 4
Rank 5

Next week something as dark as night
"Shades Shadow" is neat, but feels a little redundant to me.

Not that it matters what I think, but I'd like to throw a few suggestions out, based on what you've described here:

Shadowspark
Sparkshade
Nightspark
Sparkshadow
Shadewing

...wait, never mind that last one.

This reminds me of that one fan contest a 3P company had to name their OSKO of Studio Series Blackout. As you do.

The list of "top 10" entries was loaded with various combinations of Night and Shadow and Blade and Dark and Demon -- not even any fancy synonyms or wordplay, just literally those words. It would be less embarrassing if it were just one lone preteen edgelord with an underdeveloped vocabulary handing in their own list, but no, it was dozens of grown men submitting the exact same permutations of Xtreme Kool Wordz.

(I forget if anyone even won the contest or if they scrapped it because it was drawing attention to their bootlegging operation, but the toy ended up being named Hide Shadow, which I'm pretty sure wasn't one of the entries.)

Thats the neat part Shades Shadow is very much a play on those early internet edgelords
He loves those old tropes and does his best to mimic them

Also on the Autograph thing Scott McNeil did the same thing in my Transformers Art of Genesis book he stole it from me the next day he gave it back
And has signed every page where he character he voiced appeared
AND I LOVED IT

If it had to have an edgelord-esque word like "Shadow" in it, I would have suggested just "Shadow Wing".

As an aside, how has Japan not used the name "Shadow Convoy" for anything yet?

It really is like poetry, it rhymes.

Once he introduced the world to Dark Vader, all bets were off.

I wish Hasbro would bring some of those silly names back the same way they hilariously brought back Silverstreak.

Whoever came up with that idea really should have gotten a bonus.

I did grow to like Silverstreak. Glad they brought it back and I hope it keeps getting use here and there.

Now do Shockblast, Blastcharge, Blastwave, Decepticharge...

Let's get fan demand going for a new modern update toy of Energon Shockblast.
