What did you name your Steel Brigade?

**'86 Digital Fire** · 05-09-2011

This is a nostalgia-based question, for those of you who had the chance in your youth to send away for a Steel Brigade trooper and invent your own name and identity. What names are out there?

Mine was code-named Lightning. I kept his info as realistic as possible, specializing in jungle warfare, except he had some ninja training because I wanted him to be a bad-***.

Skidmark.

Imagine my surprise when Hasbro actually used that name a couple years later......

I had "Captain Butt."

Oddly enough, I'd probably still think of that one today if I had to send away for a name-your-own-figure.

Bulletstopper. It was inspired by the introduction of Footloose in the comic.

I never had one as a kid, but my brother did. He named his Snake Eyes. I know, real original. Through the years, I've been lucky enough to snag a few SB file cards and here are the designated names I've acquired. Some are pretty funny.

Steel Brigade Names: Steel Face, Yo Jo, Snow White, and Champion (on french/english File).
The Snow White name cracks me up.

and just for fun, my Gold Headed Steel Brigade and "Name Your Own Cobra" names:
GHSB - Pressure
NYOC - Constrictor

So glad I asked; this thread is making my day! My boy Lightning is a gold-head, but it was years before I knew he was special. At the time I was just kinda irked that he didn't match the picture on the catalog.

I was irked mine didnt come with the weapons I chose, just a plain ole Airborne gun. I can just see the people hired to type these up for Hasbro on their coffee break, discussing the names that they saw. Whether it was cool or lame, if the specialties clashed, what state it was from, etc.
