I've decided on the fan-theory that Terrorsaur named the Predacon ship "The Darkside" himself. Nobody else uses this name, or likes it. When he constantly calls it "The Darkside" all dramatic-like, Megatron rolls his eyes. --ItsWalky 01:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Btw, that was just me thinking out loud. I'm not, uh, proposing that be added or anything. --ItsWalky 02:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It is called the Darkside in the episode blurbs for Equal Measures and Spider's Game in the episode guide for the season 1 Box set. I don't know how much weight that carries, but it is there.Tantrum

Why... so it does. Huzzah! Man. Why wasn't the toy called that? Lame Hasbro! --ItsWalky 03:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It's the Darksyde now, according to BotCon, the article needs changing.

Only the BotCon set calls it "Darksyde", where as the game and DVDs call it "Darkside", so I think it would be cast to handle it like "Tarantulas" vs "Tarantulus", with the original spelling having the article, and the new spelling being a redirect. --FortMax 15:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Still, one could argue that the Botcon set are actually toys while the game and DVDs are "secondary sources" (albeit official ones). That would give "Darksyde" primacy despite being a later version of the name.--G.B. Blackrock 16:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
