how cool is that!? In his interview in the finals of GSL, Foxer said that since he is now a member of Prime, and from the fact that he likes the movie Transformers, He's changing his name to Optimus Prime!! http://www.gomtv.net/2010gslopens2/vod/1274 | ||

And no, I never thought about someone in the clan being named Optimus because I haven't thought about transformers since well... ever. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

But he never said he'd change his name to what has fans wanted. As for Optimus... well can't say i've very impressed with it (unless i was a 12yr old ) | ||

Q. So, you will not change your ID? A. OptimusPrime is only given the the greatest Prime member. I didn't win, so I should look for a next opportunity. I'm going to keep using the ID BoxeR for now. | ||

Think very few people read the interview thread, since a new one wasn't posted on day 2, which is a shame beceause CanucksJC put alot of time into them, and there is some good ones in between. I'm sure we will see plenty of people claiming Foxer is called OptimusPrime for many a live report thread to come. Random opinion: He keeps saying he wants to switch, and mentions diffrent names/conditions. I'm suspicius! | ||
|
teko

Then he decided to use Optimus, which is considered the greatest name on Prime. However he lost the finals, so he thinks he's not worth the name yet. I think at this rate it will be difficult to follow what the fans want, cause there are few different opinions. He should just think of a new name. Preferably something more Korean, like a weird combination of a noun with an adjectives/verb (like: HopeTorture ) | ||
