    Hi,

    Brainstorming on ideas for the torso component of a decepticon combiner whose alt mode is a trackside fire response truck. The team is based on a F1 race team with two F1 cars (Redline & Nitro), a pit truck (Pitstop) & a pacecar (Crashtest). He isn't the group leader, he is the muscle and will probably be red or maybe black, based off Hotspot of course. Names I've though of are Overflow and Arson but first sounds too autoboty and other doesn't suit race theme.
    Any suggestions?

    JL

    Burn-Out?
    Just naming racing terms from wiki that sort of fit IMO (other than the top one, I did at least think of one myself).
    The Big One (From Wiki "A large pileup during a stock car race involving up to 30 cars. The term is largely reserved for restrictor plate racing at Daytona and Talladega.")
    Shoot Out ("A selection procedure in which the ten or 15 fastest qualifiers compete for grid positions in a single-lap effort without other vehicles on the track.")
    Zero Light ("Used in drag racing when someone leaves the starting line at the exact moment when the light turns green (.000).")
    Although frankly Backdraft sounds best.

    Backdraft is a great name.

    Some other suggestions of my own:

    Accelerant

    Hazard

    Thermite

    Water Thief
    - This is a firefighter nickname for a hose with 2 outlets that allows firefighters to "Steal" water from other sources that are actively using water. So firefighters can more effectively fight a fire. More water=more gooder

    I was gonna suggest Backdraft, but someone beat me to it! Thermite is also a pretty cool name too!

    Firefighter. He'll have a flamethrower. Thus, he'll be a FIGHTER using FIRE.
