The use of canon names is cheap, especially when some people give them alts that has nothing to do with the original character.





I have Manterror


EDIT: and Chuck Norris

I used to have Wreckage (with a .), but I dropped him for someone more original.

I used to have Unicron, who I gave to someone else. When they left, they lost it, either through donation or inactivity, and I think Shadow Dragon has him now. Poor guy's been a lvl 2 Con on three teams now.

I reserved Tidal Wave for V2, when we finally get battleships.

Pfft, Chuck Norris is the lose

*shrug* Everyone's got their own opinions on the use of canon names. I've always happened to like to have a few mechs on my team with canon names; I try to keep it to four or less at a time, but there have been times I've had five. I don't mind people having canons with the wrong alts (since the current alt system is so screwy and so many of the alt types stink); It DOES bother me when people have canon names when they're on the wrong faction. (And before anyone says anything, Grimlock has had both a toy and comic appearances as a Maximal, I gave up Optimus Prime and Bumblebee when I switched).

In the past I've had: Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Landmine, Optimus Primal, Bumblebee, Wheeljack and B'Boom.

Currently I've got: Cheetor, Rattrap, Blackarachnia and Grimlock.

I've currently just got Ultra Magnus.

I did have Blurr and sky lynx

Used to have "The Fallen" and "General Scourge".

Now the only canon TF names I have are Cruellock and Lightspeed, which have nothing to do with the canon characters.

Of course, I also have Rest-Q, Small Foot, and Zeemon, but those would be from a different canon.

No problem, NB. They went to a good home.

My whole team

I'm always on the lookout for abandoned canon names

Blurr's the only one that doesn't have the right alt mode... mostly because I needed another rammer... or something.

lol all I got was Quickstrike.

Gigastorm' got Nemisis Prime and Onix Primal though

I've got Megatron and Reflector,I've been kinda inactive lately,but will be active once V2 is up.

I do, but if you want him back I have no problems giving him to you...

anyway... My team has Unicron, Megabolt, Soundwave, Rumble, Frenzy, Buzzsaw and Battle Ravage.

Maybe if I finally write a bio for how I see him currently in my team's canon. But I'd give you someone in return fi you wanted.

I want Jesus Prime!

Nah, don't worry about anything in return.

I have Wheeljack, as he is my favorite from G1... but i'm looking to give him up to a friend that's staying Bot.

And then I have Sunstorm, who is definitely staying with me.

I just have my namesake...

Me too. I'll be around when V2 hits.

As for my canon characters? I have 5. Razorclaw, Divebomb, Carnivac, Gaihawk and Punch (got me a 'Bot!).

I really wish I had Blades, Dead End and Swoop... I'm willing (sorta...) to trade Carni, Gaihawk and Punch! lol

For a while I had Clocker, Red Alert, and... Armada Wheeljack, ironically enough (I award special brownie points to last poster for their name, btw. AWJ ftmfw! WOO! [/fangirl]), along with many others... Towline, E. Inferno, E. Prowl, etc etc.

Currently I have Raindance, Frostbite and Blaze, but they're obviously in no way tied to their canonical counterparts. I didn't even have the canon characters in mind when grabbing the names, actually.

You could also argue that my TF Aurora has a canon name, given that it was a name of a Minicon in the Armada PS2 game, but I digress...

Ask a stupid question,but what's a canon name and what do people mean "gave my canon away"
