So far in the game the mechs have all their callsigns and name calling is inevitable. So what exactly do you call them yourself?

Commando= Chucky, yes that little leg humping puppet from hell.

Jenner= Squirrel, They look like one from afar, and when their rear sets on fire.. LIFT OFF!

Raven= Can't call it anything else, it is true to it's name, annoyingly so.

Hunchback= Hunchie!

Centurion = Thinman, they look like scorny marathon runners to me.

Dragon= Dragon! Or Shoot Mah Big Torso! I am quite certain someone paint that on mine in bright red.

Catapult= Kitty! Gundam! Flying all over the place raining missles and lasers, It is a miricle they don't pull out a light saber to melee you.

Cataphrat = Signboard. The smaller cousin of Blilboard (see Below)

Awesome= Billboard. The older cousin of Signboard (see Above)

Atlas= Fatlas is the obvious, I also call them Motorbike helmet.

What do you call yours?

Pretty much the same as what you call them, or I call them "targets" :)

Commando - Jailbait, since it's the smallest 'Mech
Raven - Hawkeye, but also considered calling it Poe
Cicada - Runamok, although I was tempted to go with ED209.
Dragon - Bahamut, the ultimate good dragon in D&D
Catapault - Hotshot
Atlas - Reaper, although I'm the one taken out usually

Just three first letters and the numbers. Like CAT1, CAT2, CAT3, RAV1, ATL2. For a cataphract its his actual model name CTF with a number.
Yeah, i'm a boring person.

I usually name an Atlas `Big Boy´, an Awesom `Bluefire´ or, in german, `Fernlicht´(= `longlight´). Mostely I name them according to their specification.

I'm a muv-luv fan so I name all of my mechs based off of the TSF (Tactical Surface Fighter aka mechs) and add the mech varient to the end of the name ( ex the cnd-al, so I add -AL).
