Firestarter ember - little boy

Jagermech Firebrand - Fat Boy

Something tells me you don't have many Japanese friends? ...

Edit: Actually I'm guessing ( hoping ) maybe your choice of name was more a coincidence than anything else. After first reading the former I must have misread the latter. Thought it had read 'Fat Man'.

nevermind

After this next patch I might change all my mech's names to Helen Keller.

My old Xbox live tag was H3LL3N K3LL3R (didn't know Helen was one l back in my younger days)

most mechs are named after loudout so i know what is on which mech.

Same here..

So stuff like this:

"6xSRM6"

If I add modules to it I name it:

"6xSRM6 X"

If I put modules and cockpit items into it:

"6xSRM6 XT" - T for trophis

If I add my lovely hanging Black Widow Spiders (have 2)

"6xSRM6 XB"

I have pretty much all the mechs I play set-up, so they only thing that matters to me is whether or not I have modules/cockpit items in them.

I just name them with their load outs

[Belacose]

The most common nick name I've seen during matches is 'Widow Maker'. Maybe I just keep noticing that because I also named my Ebo Jaguar that. Kind of like how I'm always seeing 666 and 420 on license plates?

Your given 'Mech names don't appear in-game to other players. What you are seeing are Warhammer Hero 'Mechs, which are called the Black Widow. All Hero 'Mechs show up with their name (i.e. Arrow, Black Widow, Firebrand, Oxide, etc.) rather than their 'Mech designation alpha-numerical (i.e. BJ-3, WHM-6R, JM6-DD, JR7-F, etc.).

Coolest hanging cockpit item in the game I believe. I just have one that I keep swapping in and out between my Ebo Jaquar 'Widow Maker' and Storm Crow 'Murder' which also sports the jack-o-lantern standing cockpit item.

Are you absolutely certain???? Could swear I've seen 'Widow Maker' more than one time when I've placed my cursor over friendly mechs.

Please don't tell me I'm still having acid flash backs after all these years????

You might have seen a player title called "The Widow Maker", but it's not a 'Mech name.

Well that would make more sense.

Btw, now that I've learned others can't see our own nicknames I'm probably going to stop giving mine cute little names or just do as others have said and label them things like 'SSRMX5'

[L1f3H4ck]

Back when SRMs were criminally OP, I bought a second Hunchback 4SP and named it Iron Chariot. It's a reference to Judges 1.19.

Couldn't you have necro'd one of the hundred threads on the same topic we have had in the past 3 years?

[Chimera_]

Well I've been selling a bunch of mechs off lately (duplicate omnis, old chassis, etc) but there's my 45 that I currently own by weight class: (Note: I keep Heroes their actual name so not including those)

I've also been naming a lot of my newer mechs names that easily explain what they are, so it's easier to swap out for CW. Lots of these are boring as a result.

I'm not exactly great at naming mechs but for the most part I like to give somewhat unique names to each mech.

Edited by Chimera11, 19 June 2016 - 01:00 PM.

[JustEvil]

All my mechs are named Evil (Evil Cat for example). Creativity so much, but who cares. It suits well anyway.
