Is there some sort of back story for these 2 mechs (Atlas-S and the Centurion-AH)?
Atlas-S Rear = Urdarbrunni
Centurion-AH Shield Arm = Uerdandi

Google "The Norns"

Also, the shield says "Verdandi" on the Cent

Thank you I will look them up. And may use those names to name these mechs

[Spoo Hunter]

Verdandi / Verthandi is the norn representing the present.

Urdarbrunnr / Urthbrunnr is the well at the base of the world tree (Yggdrasil).

http://en.wikipedia....i/Ver%C3%B0andi

I too will be considering using these names for the 'mechs.

The Cent has a picture of Belldandy from Ah My Goddess on its right torso too.

Would make more sense for the AH to be Urd though, since it's a blast from the past.

[TercieI]

I loved this since my Summoners are already named Uror, Veroandi and Skuld.

Not Belldandy, especially when you also look at the Atlas and see it's not AMG's Urd there at all, but shares so many traits with the Cent's.

Seriously, leave AMG out.

So, bets on the third reward mech, the King Crab, being Skuld?

well, belldandy was the "japanified" version of Verdandi........

You can get SOME background here:
http://en.wikipedia....r%C3%B0arbrunnr
^The well at the bottom of Yggdrasil

http://en.wikipedia....i/Ver%C3%B0andi
^The norn of "the Present"

[Spheroid]

The Atlas has some writing on the front neck also but it partially obscured.

[Spoo Hunter]

The wring says URÐR (Urthr). One of the Norns.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur%C3%B0r

I think Steinar Bergstol is correct; the King Crab will be Skuld.

Against it being Skuld? Not, a gambling type myself and those would be some really long odds to get takers. For is safe bet.

[Alexander MacTaggart]

I don't name most of my mechs (really, coming up with a name for dozens of mechs would be maddening), but for these two Verdandi and Urdr was easy.

Looking forward to Skuld the sual-AC/20 carrying third norn avatar.

[MischiefSC]

I really hope so. If the KC is the Skuld....

[FatManBlue]

After having received with much appreciation the Urðarbrunnr mech and the Verðandi mech. I was curious as to when/if/how I could get the Skuld mech? I'm hoping they deploy one.

well, the next freebie from the big set of freebies is injected in december, so i'd guess then. a King Crab.. a 100 ton dual AC20 brute that i suspect will end up very popular.
