Thats OK. We can still be friends. I hope we get an answer too. I like the wacky colors, but I still want to know why.

I was thinking about slapping a bald eagle sticker on it, and calling it the Bush Flyer or the W. Express. :lol:

Yeah, I'm wondering what some custom sticker help could do to improve our new space friend here. Covering the wing tips with white would help... and perhaps something to shape the edges of the other colored bits... tone them down a bit.

For a half-space/half-train name, "Spacesteamer" or "Starsteamer"

Oh dear. I think there are, um, reasons, to avoid the word 'steamer' in a TF name.

I may have a name, taken from a fan game, but it may sound a bit goboty... Cosmoloco.

I wonder if this has something to do with his Classics toy's Bazooka Mode... :-?
