skbl17 188 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I thought TWC couldn't get any worse...honestly, do they even CARE anymore? I'd really like to see viewer comments on last year's system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Orion Pax is, in the current universal continuity that Hasbro has created for the Transformers (the one used in the video games and the Prime cartoon, though not the movies) , the original name of the Autobot who would become the great Optimus Prime. That those names are in this list shows how ridiculous these names are. And again, we get one too many Star Trek references, although at least they have a proper Q name this time. And no WWE wrestlers as far as I can see. Still, I can't believe they're using "Hercules", of all things, on this list. (At least they didn't have the temptation to name the X storm Xena, though Xenia is close enough.) I get the concept of naming storms - it's better than "snowmageddon" or "frankenstorm" or some such - but normal human being names would be more appropriate. At least it wouldn't lead to complete ridicule on Teh Interwebz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easttxtv 7 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm sorry, I'm not gonna sip the kool-aid on this one. This is as stupid as naming every tornado or grass fire that comes along. Although, Can't wait until "Winter Storm Nexstar" or "Winter Storm Sinclair." Those will do major damage. I think Big Country gets the LOL prize for his effort. I guess when the Sinclair storm gets cleaned up it will look like a News Central set? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
