I just named my new ON1-M Onion Knight.

[sathoon]

Founder atlas? Liberty prime*
Raven 3L? Littlebird
Wolverine 7K? Honey
Misery stalker? Happiness
Jagermech S? Uncle dakka


*Can't currently take the game seriously, so grabbed a fallout 3 liberty prime soundboard, and put the most eye-wateringly painful lime green and yellow and purple (because the base Lib prime colours are awfully drab) I could find. Extreme irony overload because I seem to be doing better than ever. Not sure if the fact my atlas has a purple head is crippling pilots through laughter or horror.

I currently own 2 mechs.

AWS-8R LR Trouble (LRM Boat)

AWS-PB Pixel, Pixel is the cat who walks through walls.

However in my mind I Awesomes are just Tissue Paper Tigers cause they die so easy lol.

If I ever outfit a mech with a Gauss Rifle I will name it "Ive got a HUGE gun"

I get the feeling there is a story to several of those - but especially this one


In other news I nicknamed my Boar's Head - he is now (corporal) Bluejohn

My mech names are boring because the UI 2.0 can't filter between drop capable and stripped mechs.

Mechs that are equipped list their loadout like 6ML 2AC5

Mechs that are stripped are named as -----

"You changed your name to Latrine? What was it before?"

"Sh**house."

"... It's a good change."

Just a few, since I would be here all day posting up the names of 80 odd mechs...


Yen Lo Wang: Takeru (from Japanese history - Yamato Takeru no mikoto legendary prince of the Yamato dynasty & son of Emperor Keiko, who is traditionally counted as the 12th Emperor of Japan.) A personal favorite, given that I have a strong interest in Japanese culture and history.

Spider 5D: White Widow - Although the mech is ironically black..

BLR-1G: Hodor - Cause he likes carrying the team

JM6-DD: Dan Dakkaroyd - Who you gonna call?

DRG-FL: The Honey Badger - You know it!

And I call my Awesome 8R - BRICK

[xeromynd]

Heavily Armored JM6-FB - Paula Deen 2
BJ-1X - Alton Brown

All of my mechs are named after chefs. Why, I don't know.

Better question is: why can't we show our mech names to others in-game?

Because some of the nicknames people use break the CoC.

Edit: for the fun of it, I named my AWS-PB....... Pooh Bear,

Had to look up Pan Lung (a dragon of some sort, if my search was accurate) but bonus on the 'campus.

Any particular reason for the names?
