    Okay, so I finally opened up my black Starscream from my KO 12-pack Mini-Seeker set.
    And you know what? I actually like the black Starscream! The black/gold/grey colors look pretty cool.
    But one things bothering me. Why is it called black Starscream? Having a Starscreams Ghost makes sense since Starscream died in the movie and came back in season three. But when the hell did he become black? I think even when he died he became stone gray before dust.

    So in conclusion, I need suggestions for my black Starscream. Seeing how I like the mini-seeker version, I'm sure I'll eventually get the E-Hobby G1 version soon and would like to rename him. Black Starscream just doesn't sound right.

    I would've called him Nightbird, but that names already used. Suggestions?

    Thundersnow would make sense if he was pure white. But, he's black!

    I know! (I'm just messing around) :D 

    Seriously how about Black Shadow? It is an obscure Japanese figure from the Victory toyline.

    Or Shadowstorm... even though "shadow" is over-used

    I call mine Darkscream. It's a legitimate TF name from RID.

    I like DarkScream, or NightScream, the name of the Energon series japanese version.
    Also, in the japanese Robot Masters toyline story arch there was a story involving some characters getting a black coating which affected differently beast Transformers and mechanical ones, but I couldn't find it in the TFwiki... but there was a black StarScream there.
