Old Chesnut: Why did you pick your screen-name?
Mine? Impactor & Smokescreen were taken [the latter's posting regularity rivals my own], just seen "Changing Gears", signed up as Cliffjumper. Several cases of mistaken identity, innumerable flame wars [which I always won ] and 600 posts alter, I decided Pietro fitted nicely.
JUSTIFY YOUR OWN!

I started with Prowl, Rodimus Prime, Springer, Bluestreak, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Starscream, Galvatron, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. All were taken, so I decided to use one of my own creations, as I was determined to not have to use a number in my name this time, so I went ahead with Redstreak.
I'd initially planned to stick around just enough to get the seeker rank...oh how plans changed...

Well, Sixshot kicks arse, Quick Switch kicks arse. Both names were taken... I combined them both. And Quickshot sounds like an early spunker *lowers the tone*

I wanted a little anonimaty... Well, I wanted people to be able to work out who I was with little difficulty, whilst remain hidden to those who didn't really bother with my posts.
And I like digitiser.
And I used it as my dark alter ego. I had a lot of **** to deal to deal with at transfans at the time, so had to remain 'pleasant'.
Here, I wasn't bound by such constraints.

Well, I picked Savannah-tron because I live in Savannah, Ga, I know how original, but this was the first Transformer forum board I registered on.
I was trying to create a collector club for my area for a while, but most of the ppl who were interested kind of just moved on, so I just stuck with the name.
Auros gave me the nick name of Savvy T one night, and I kind of like it, so there you have it.

Thought Slag would be a bit naughty for a message board name, suspected Snarl was taken (or perhaps it was - can't remember), Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, wasn't sure how to spell Strafe and was too lazy to look it up so decided I'd just go for his bigger ego and picked Computron

I had just seen part 2 of "The Agenda" from Beastwars season 2.
I was still searching for a name for Yahoo mail. So I wanted to use Ravage, big surprise: already taken So I added the _mk2. I've used it online ever since.
Some of you may think MK2 refers to Mortal Kombat 2, but it doesn't. Mk is the abreviation used in M.A.X. for denoting the Mark(as in version) of a unit.(higher number = more upgraded)
Thus I am the upgraded Ravage

I picked LigerZero because I like Zoids. LigerZero was always my favorite. It seemed like me tough, adaptable, smart, and has a sence of humor. And I like cats too.

I just like the yellow, black and purple Transformers....
I'm thinking of changing my name (There's another Kickback out there, and I've had people asking me if I was him), but I don't know into what... No, Mook is not a good idea.
