Viking Fighter's name sux, let's find it a new one!

lol, i love it, and the best part is that you can get your own medusa in real life XD

 

actually a chimera is "a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail"

also

"an organism composed of two or more genetically distinct tissues, as an organism that is partly male and partly female, or an artificially produced individual having tissues of several species"

 

when i first saw organism with the word female written below it I thought it said orgasm... god i need to get out more



As for the Vikings, call them Raptors. They are both birds of prey and a type of dinosaur that walked around. ITS PERFECT.

 

^but raptor is used so often... it doesnt seem original anymore.

 

It's used because its an awesome fearsome wholesome name...some
And it hasn't been used in StarCraft.
soooo............... go for it blizzard.

 

How Bout SENTINEL

reminds me of those octo like mechs from the matrix

plus its a cool name

 

thankyou

haha i just finished watching the matrix 3 and i was like, thats a cool name

 

I agree that the Viking fighters name truely sucks. I also hope that Blizzard actually changes the name before release. The name is soo unimaginative. I can't think of a good name at the moment, but when I think of something that is suitable and fitting, I will make sure to post my idea.

I really like the Sentinel name Gah345. It really suits the theme of it too. Sounds very imaginative and fitting. owerup:

 

How about :

BALISTA FIGHTER!- Ofter balistas were a complex mechanical arbalets, so it can fit to the complex machine wew got.

or

BERSERKER FIGHER! Strong name for a tough unit.

 

Here are some of my ideas.

Terran Cosmic
Terran Tyrant
Terran Comet

Those names just kind of popped into my mind while I was browsing around.

 

Imo Raptor would fit the Viking very well.

My suggestions are,

Basilisk

Sabre

Falcon

 

May I suggest the Terran Longboat? Berserker?

 

heres the best replacement name for the thor.

LIONHEART.. or maybe a name of a new terran unit. anyway i like it even though it sounds more like a skill or spell. 8)

here are others.

crusader = viking
scavenger = vulture.
iron sphere = a new vehicle unit that create temporary area of effect shields for defense.
stormcrow = new terran air unit that fires chain lightning damage.
spiral bomber = air unit.
tornado = air unit
assassin = sniper type unit.
elite ghost = ghost
cyborg = terran unit that uses samurai as its weapon.
apache = terran high tech helicopter.
metal gear = super unit.
captain planet - go planet.

and

spongebob = special type terran unit that cleans up dead bodies and bloods spills of terran units.


its hard to give good names. :-\

 

thankyou supporters!!

personally i like Sentinel (and not just because i came up with it)

but there are some other good names in here too i also like Raptor

some of the bird names (eg falcon) would be good for air ships, but this is a transforming mech to air
so a bird name would seem a bit deceiving

 

some names: "Crom", "Conan", "Perun", "Orcus", "Xolotl"

If u dont know from it comes from, go find on wiki

 

(Genghis) Khan, Saladin, El Cid, Churchill, Patton, Attila, Stalin

 

Give the viking fighter the name of Thor and give the Thor the name of Juggernaut. What do you think?

 

thats interesting

juggernaut is a bit overused tho dont ya think?

 

agreed. imagine if the overmind was named megatron lolwtf?
"i am the megatron of the swarm"

I don't mind too badly what names are given to the units but here's a few from the top of my head:
Terran: Crusader. Chief. Archangel. Frigate. Bulldog.
Protoss: Highlander. Chosen. Benevolent. Burnilathe.
Zerg: Sacriarch. Fiend. Rarkschar. Reaper. Xenos.

 

I'm picky about names. I can't just give any unit any name, the name has to fit the unit imo. For example, I would give the terran a unit called a Praetorian, but I would only give it something in a sort of helicopter/valkyrie type design.

I would give Viking a name like Titan or Centurion.
