Re: The names. This Targetmaster partner was identified as Nightstick for his US releases (both with Cyclonus and with "Stepper"'s Commemorative Series release as Ricochet), and Nebulon for his Japanese releases. He was never identified as Fracas or Ricochet himself. The Fracas-Nightstick name swap actually happened with what we know as Fracas for his Japanese release with "Artfire".
And Ricochet is strictly the localized name for the Jazz redeco.
I put "Stepper" and "Artfire" in quotes because - speaking of name confusion - I strongly suspect their names got mixed up; that is, that the Jazz redeco was supposed to be called Artfire and the Inferno redeco was supposed to be called Stepper. The names make more sense that way around (the Jazz redeco literally has art of fire, while the Inferno redeco - being a fire truck - has a ladder and therefore steps), and it's worth noting that RiD Hot Shot (who is called Artfire in the original Japanese version) is a visual homage to the Jazz redeco (black with flame decals).
