Here's something I've noticed, for Slizers only in America TLG has dumbed
down the names. Roboriders being the notable exception. TLG dumbed down the
Slizer story the whole group name and even the names of each robot. After
looking at Bionicle and those names I'm making a bet that TLG does the same
thing. Any other people agree/disagree?

I don't know, I kind of prefer the Throwbot names for 8500-8507.  The Slizer
names are too generic.  "Torch" has much more character than "Fire Slizer". As
for Bionicle, the USA shop.lego.com shows the same names as everywhere else so
I'm assuming they'll be the same.  Note that Blaster, Spark, and Flare were the
same in all places.  Maybe Lego decided to stop screwing with the different
name thing.

Does anybody notice that the 85xx coding is going to these little fighting
guys? I would like to come up with a name to for the 85xx series , like • 71xx
Star Wars
Any suggestions?
Here's one(s) I made earlier......

LFG - Little Fighting Guys?
TFG - same as above but Technic Fighting Guys
STRB - Slizer, Throwbot, Roboriders, Bionicle

I expressed a similar sentiment last week.  TechBots or TFG both work, I think.
