It was neither Shady or Duo Damsel.
I'll give a few hints in the form of the complete quote, which eliminates two additional Legionnaires and may give a hint toward the story.
"REEP! Icons of Traynok! That fist belonged to Colossal Boy! Why on Earth would he -"

All good guesses, but none are correct. I'll provide another clue, which hints both toward the story as well as eliminates another potential Legionnaire.
Hint #2: After Cham was felled by Colossal Boy's fist, the quoted Legionnaire was then knocked out by Lightning Lad's lightning.

Not Shrinking Violet either!
Hint #3: Despite using the word "Earth," the Legionnaire in question isn't originally from the planet.

Jeepers! I'm pretty sure I know the story, but I can't remember who is in it at all!
Er... Dawnstar?

It's also not Dawnstar! Two new hints:
Hint #4: Of the 8 Legionnaires guessed, only 3 were even in the story - Saturn Girl, Shrinking Violet, and Superboy.
Hint #5: It's not unbelievable that this Legionnaire would have been hanging out with Chameleon Boy when they were attacked. They've worked together on several occasions and would continue to do so.

EDE has it. Phantom Girl was the utterer of "Icons of Traynok!" in S&LSH #234. To my knowledge it's the only time the phrase was ever used. Was it a shout-out to possible Bgztl culture? She had talked about Bgztlian politics fascinatingly enough earlier in the issue. Perhaps we'll never know...
All yours, Eryk.

When Rainbow Girl was trying out for the Legion, which Legionnaire was visiting her homeworld?

Cham and Dirk are both at HQ during her tryout. Dirk is practically grabbing her ass as he tells her she's been rejected!

Mon and Gim are both off-planet, but neither is on Rainbow Girl's homeworld. Mon is in a far off spaceship, while Gim is guarding an alien city.

Lu is on a mission somewhere in the universe, apparently on a ringed planet, but further details are unrevealed.
