Favorite State Alchemist Title?

[Fighter Volk]

Which of the titles given to the State Alchemists shown so far in the series (that is, the titles given to them by the Fuhrer) is your favorite? I think I've included everyone, but just in case, there's an Other option. I'm not including the Electroalchemist, because his title is our own creation ^^

Anyway, don't judge this on the character, rather on the title itself (or perhaps the alchemical power associated with it, maybe).

For me, it's down between Full Metal and Iron Blood, both of which sound really cool, but I think former Brigadier General Basque Gran takes the cooler title ^^ And man, was he amazing under influence of the Philosopher's Stone!

I'll go with this one. Really foreboding/nifty sounding, moreso if it's granted prior to such vicious use. Sounds like something someone would slaughter with; War-like and all. And outside that, Kimberly's uses of it were pretty dang awesome to boot.

And what?! Gran looked silly with that philosopher stone. Like an over-grown chia pet Even if he had tried using it, Scar'd of blown him up before he got off a single bullet. Deluded Brigadier General! He needed more dashing. Yes, if he dashed like Scar did, he'd of won... sweet, precious dashing... Run, my Edward. Run to VICTORY!

Alas, the former Brigadier General was lacking in the ability of dashing, which the pimp and shorty in my avatar are damn good at, but I still think he looked great as the huge gun ^^

He was the ANTITHESIS of dashing! He merely rooted to the spot, and popped out guns. But I'll admit, it looked fairly effective all things considered. Moreso with how bulletproof he appeared to be. But I think hands-down coolest Amplified Power is Roy Mustang -- One fingersnap, and an entire city block went up in flames. Armstrong seemed just as destructive. One can only go so far with ping-bullets...

Flame > Metal .

Full Metal!! ... Only because that's the name of the series!

Nah, it was between Full Metal and Flame, but I guess Full Metal won me over.

It's from a scan from the May issue of Animage that I found. I just did some stuff to it.

[Yoshi31]

[Sparkie]

I'm going for Flame Alchemist too, I like fire and I like the gloves-makes-sparks thing hehe

[rorosama]

who and what are the crystal alchemists powers? I thought hughes was the crystal alchemist but someone stated he wasn't an alchemist at all.

[Evolution]

I just like the sounds of Crimson Alchemist

[ChainLegacy]

Strong Arm alchemist... It just sounds pretty badass.

[Palani]

For me it's Crimson Alchemist. Just because it sounds cool and it's one of my fav colors.

[Hunter Nin.]

I voted for Crimson Alchemist, Cool Factor Five !

[Sethi]

Me goes for Full Metal, i think it has a big impact when someone says there goes the Full Metal Alchemist, of course you lose all the impact when you see that the alchemist is in fact a foul mouthed small sized kid, but hey what counts is the name

[Holy Knight]

Full Metal Alchemist definately.

Aye, Hughes was no alchemist. The Crystal Alchemist was Tim Marcoh, who I'm sure you recall from episodes 14-16 (he was shown in flashbacks in 12, mentioned in 13, and finally shown present day in 14). We never saw his powers, but he was one of the five strongest alchemists who wreaked the most havoc in the final day of the Ishbal massacre, also he was working on the Philosopher's Stone and wrote the guide to the Stone... anyway, I'm sure you remember

[Scrumhalf]

Ditto. FMA.

Foul-mouthed? Since when was Ed foul-mouthed? He maybe a lively one for a protagonist, but he certainly isn't foul-mouthed. If you're looking into that category - you're talking about Naruto, who's small sized, foul-mouthed, and not so bright.
