Invented by You Tanks and Cyborgs Names

Post by Merowingg »

Hello Gentlemen :)

By this topic I mean names that you give to your units during the game :)

It might be funny or scary, long short, creative or boring, entertaining, stupid or based on something :)

The names dont have to indicate the tanks shape or how it looks like or its weaponry, it might be the name you give to it because of something that happened in game :)

I remember one guy called his tanks "puppies" :) I have heard also "rats" and "super junks" :)

"come one army of slowness" heheheh :)

I like to call light cannons: Pea Shooters and later on i tend to equip my trucks with a bug body and hover ability. (I like em fast and cheap to make) I call em Skitters. :)

Not really that funny i guess; but when i played it on the PSX they didn't let you name them so the idea is kinda new to me.

Invader
Destroyer
Assasin

I tend to put whacky names when I have time.

hehe i came up with a few more names:
Brute
Storm trooper
bumble bee (no relation to transformers. XP)
fly swatter
sail boat
hell razor

Ive found that i think i tend to name my units after a class rather than the actual one. like fly swatter is my AA tanks. it could be have a SAM or basic flack turret; but they have the same function.

hehehehhe :)

I like
sail boat
very much :) for me it might be hover bug truck :) and
hell razor
is great :)
Osiris Rotary Gauss Cannon Tracks
very nice :)

And yes
Truckulus
is excellent :) and
Little troublemaker
:) for me it sounds like a tank which entered your base while all your units are away and you have no defences :) of course those are only my interpretations :)

All the names are great i smiled few times :)
