    Mine came from when I was a CIWS Tech in the navy. The gun mount is my avatar. A 20mm six-barreled Gatling cannon slaved to a search/track radar system. Firing 4500 rounds a minute, I could unleash a hail of molten lead, (mostly tungsten, sometimes depleted uranium), or dare I say, a "metal storm". It was a term i liked, and i began using it on different sites including here.

    A 3P made a figure with my screen name.

    Your name is like a promise you make. I promised to never spel propperlly.

    I'd say that's fairly appropriate for my 10,000th post.

    Also, yeah, the very beginning of the post was supposed to be a Doctor Who reference.

    My name is fairly simple, took the two greatest leaders on Cybertron and just stuck them together. Megatron & Optimus Prime with a little geek thrown in for good measure. :D

    I know my name comes from a TF city more than an actual Autobot or Decepticon but I always thought Iacon was a cool sounding name. Have had the same handle for over 15 years now.

    <--------These two hellions inspired my screen name. The Twins have always been my favorite, ever since G1.
    The 5 in my screen name has no real significance, other than 5 being one of my two favorite numbers.

    The pic at the bottom of my posts, is my second favorite Transformer (I consider The Twins as a package deal, instead of two separate picks)

    Long story short, I was obsessed with the horse DreamWorks movie Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron when I was little, plus I’m a huge fan of Optimus Prime. You can see where this is going.

    Ultra magnus was someone I initially hated. The idea of him replacing optimus prime was ludicrous. Back in 86 Hasbro billed him and Galvatron as the new leaders. There was even a poster for it. But after reading wanted Galvatron in marvel UK I became a fan. He's not my favorite tf but he's in my top 4.

    Ultra Magnus is the most bad ass Autobot in their ranks. Hands down. Oh, except for that line in the movie where he just blows off the fact that the second group of autobots had gone down in their ship, retorting "I just can't deal with that now." That was pretty lame......

    1980 was the year I was born.

    I went by Swerve as a joke in the early Aughts before the character was relevant. Y'know. Cuz he was like Gears, only way cooler.

    I noticed Omega Supreme's orange face in your avatar. Venom is also rather orange.
    I am doubting your 'no affiliation' claim! :D 



    So... you sweat profusely while eating Apple Jacks?

    My name kind of counts, because while not named after a specific character the TF part does indeed stand for "transformers"

    You can thank 12 year old me for that.
