I couldn't help myself.

I bought Firestarter Ember, K, & S. I named them Manny, Moe, & Jack after The Pep Boys.

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?

Yes, they were painted all blue and when they rise from the water they appear as mythological beasts.

I like having names with meaning - have to look up some Japanese mythology and post a few more up. Haven't named some of my newest mechs yet

Anyone would have thought I was a Kurita supporter eh..

After taking it for a spin after a massive re-kitting, I have named my ON1-V "Koh", as a reference to the evil spirit Koh, the Facestealer in Avatar The Last Airbender.

Well they did get rather more creative with their names than a lot of others.

Names from Alaskan mythology tend to be kinda meh - only one that really stood out was Raven - and I will give you one half a guess what he was.

I called my Oxide "moneymaker"

I used to called my Dragon Slayer after Mega man, "Meta man".
