I find the whole Heavy Metal to Speed Metal transition to be something that is far too clever for Hasbro to have come up with intentionally, but maybe they called him Speed Metal because much like the music the figure is terrible

OK, I undestand the trademark thing there, makes sence, but couldn't Hasbro copyright or trademark "Rock & Roll" as a character name?
The Heavy Metal to Speed Metal was kind of clever. Kinda makes me wonder if there's going to be a whole seriese of armour drivers, Heavy Metal, Speed Metal, Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Power Metal, etc...
Oh in your description of the music, you spelled "kick-ass" wrong. (Using italics highlighted the mis-spelling  ) Though, the figure does leave something to be desired.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
