Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries

by Paingod556

Part 1: List of 'Mech names, as suggested by goons.

I considered doing some participation, but anything too involved would slow this thing to a crawl.

Tell you what we can do...

GOONS! COMRADES! LEND ME YOUR CYBERNETIC HEARING DEVICES! FOR I SEEK NAMES THAT WILL STRIKE THE TERROR OF TERRA INTO THE HEARTS OF THE ENEMY (and if we have time, allies)

Considering that any 'Mech modding will be done behind the scenes (since 20 minutes of me derping with weapon loadouts is not fun) there is no reason not to extend it another half minute by renaming them

SO! If anyone has anything they would like named, post it up. It can be-

A free-use name
"Call something the 'Prancing Robot of Hugs and Death'."

A name for a specific 'Mech
"I demand an Urbanmech! And it shall be named Urbie!"

Or a name for a very specific 'Mech... either just a general idea-
"Get a Vulture, load it with as many MRM-40's as possible, and call it the 'Love Boat'."
Or go into more detail-
"How about you get a Hunchback and *insert detailed weapon list, components and engine weight* And it shall be known as... Tim."

Note that if you suggest a 'Mech I have yet to access, I will keep it in mind, and if an oppurtunity presents itself I will try to aquire it. For example, I never use the Templars and Novacats, but if you really want me to, I can.

Complete listing of 'Mechs availble


All names shall be added to this post, to keep it simple.

NB- the author makes no apologies for the crappyness of the above names.
