Re: Unreleased Units
Zetacron, Omegacron, Deltacron ... makes me wonder if somebody misread the original Omnicron Snipers as Omicron Snipers and thought they were supposed to imply a rule of using the Greek alphabet. Or maybe the original Omnicron was a typo, and we should correct the spelling on the Snipers and Repulsors to follow to the pattern?

To truly make the earlier units fit the implied pattern, not only would we have to drop the extra n's but we would have to add "cron" after the name of the Greek letter:
I'm also not saying Deltacron shouldn't be called Deltacron. It's a perfectly fine convention if you ignore the early outliers. It's just a shame that the majority of the canonical units (the Snipers and Repulsors) don't actually follow or generate the pattern. Hmm, now I'm wondering how many people pronounce it OWE-muh-cron instead of AHM-nuh-cron? Good traders: tdemirji, AbsintheAddict, Blubberguy22, Toa Matoro, SuperSamyon, Bl1ndsn1per, Ericth74,

Re: Unreleased Units
@Just_a_Bill - "...retconned...?" The spell checker suggested: reckoned, rescanned, and reconnoitered. You've got an interesting hypothesis, but shouldn't the original Hasbro units ( Omnicron Snipers AND Omnicron Repulsors ) have set the precedent for any pattern to be established for Jandar units from Alpha Prime? Any naming conventions implemented by the C3V and/or SoV teams to designate their custom creations are purely a figment of someone's imagination. Perhaps they agreed upon the Greek Alphabet ( I think that was a pretty cool idea ), because of the planetary home of these soulborg thingies is Alpha Prime. According to your supposition wouldn't the original units have to be renamed: Sigmacrons and Rhocrons? Otherwise it's just Greek to me.

But waitaminnit ... a new thought just struck me. What if the Jandar Soulborgs have two different naming rules, depending upon the unit type? You could draw the line either in the hero/squad dimension, or in the unique/uncommon/common dimension; for the moment I will assume the former. What if ...

Re: Unreleased Units
The Sempercrons would be the Marines of Alpha Prime, eh?

Re: Unreleased Units
Is it apocryphal that Omnicron = All Time, as in "The Battle of All Time"?

I must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Porkins again. (Again.)

So maybe all future Jandar Soulborg squads should be called Omnicron SomethingOrOthers and only the heroes should each join a different Greek fraternity.

Re: Unreleased Units
~~~lol~~~
Thanks @Just_a_Bill for this amusing discussion. At first I thought you were just being satirical, but you've obviously given this issue a lot of thought and done your linguistic homework. +1 for @Porkins , who ninja'ed what I was thinking. Now excuse me while I go get a slice of Pi[e]-cron, all this heavy thinking has worked up an appetite for a forbidden dessert.
