So in order to gain foreigner support he should give himself a derogatory name such as Fake Boxer? You guys are pretty ridiculous. So you would want to be forever known by living in the shadow of a legendary figure? Its not even it about sounding stupid, but its demeaning to him to actually be referred to as a FAKE Boxer when he has shown that he has the skill to actually reach the finals of GSL, which is no easy feat considering the amount of pros that stood in his path.

I would rather he just named himself ClarePrime, but he has chosen Optimus and thats pretty much it. Also, why don't you guys think of it in another way, such that he has transformed the identity of marines who generally were easily killed by banelings into his "immortal marines"?

People can continue calling him Foxer as much as they want, but if he actually assumes that name my respect for him would go down

Hes not the real Boxer, thus he is fake. Theres nothing derogatory about this.
He called himself Boxer, he is fake boxer, he is Foxer.

IMO OptimusPrime is obvious and uninteresting. Foxer has some history and meaning behind it.

Rainbow used "SlayersBoxer" as a smurf name first (back in the beta World Cup). Why isn't he FoxeR?

Really?

No one is calling him out for not even being a "true" Transformers fan? And instead hes just a mainstream, "Oh, that was a cool movie!" kid?

I though you guys were nerds...

his name will always be foxer.

does anyone call kwanro "gangyu"? does anyone call frozean "cuteangel"? not many. some people call kal "goojila", but he's still known as kal in my book.

It's best that he moves away from being known as the fake BoxeR, no need to have a name that constantly reminds people that.

Just throwing that out there.


I completely agree! As far as I'm concerned he can call himself whatever he wants. OptimusPrime is OP and he's Terran to boot. Works for me.

Hopefully this means he will start to make a few mech units from time to time.
