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

In the Internet's defense, George Lucas STARTED it...
You say George Lucas but this reads like some of the worst Kingdom Hearts dialogue
It really is like poetry, it rhymes.
Once he introduced the world to Dark Vader, all bets were off.

You know, since Star Wars has had a few crossovers with Transformers, this MIGHT be ALMOST on topic...
How has this conversation gone this long and nobody has suggested "Shadeblast" or "Shadowblast" yet?
Because we're not 2000s-era Hasbro suits?
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...
Now do Shockblast, Blastcharge, Blastwave, Decepticharge...
So long as he continues to be the blue one, and Bluestreak the silver one.
Let's get fan demand going for a new modern update toy of Energon Shockblast.
Exactly. There's room for both, but the fan outrage has to be maintained.
I'd legitimately be excited for this.
So long as we're really careful with the spell-check...
