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

How bout SPITFIRE? for the viking

zerg cannot have english names ...creatures included,
then they wouldnt be alienish!!!!!

and id say no to leviathan it was a mythological sea creature
it may sound powerful but is not fitting

MARAUDER sounds cool its like SCAVENGER

 

Just to point out, Marauder was a one of the two vehicles that you had in the beginning of Rock N' Roll Racing, also a game by Blizzard.  It looked like something in between a SUV and a moster truck.  That was really a great game.

If they chose the Viking name because of The Lost Vikings, Marauder would also be suitable for a similar reason, although it would of course be less obvious.  I've personally never played The Lost Vikings before, but I really loved Rock N' Roll Racing.

Remy, try it out

 

Titan is the best choice i think! it sounds perfect for the viking

 

Thanks Gasmaskguy, it was pretty cool. I used to love platform/adventure games the most.

 

What about the "Ares"?

You can't use the Chimera because its a dragon and was used in WC3.

I would suggest the Ares because it suggests a relation to the stars and is a mythological creature. It also gives a "machine" feel although the name is used in that old Gundam show as the name of one of the models of their thingies... but I don't think that's prominent enough.

I vote Ares. It fits the unit quite nicely

 

no, it needs to be more like Sentinel, Crusader, Badass or something

 

chimera is not a dragon, it's hybrid monster from greek mythology.

but the word chimera can also be used to describe any other hybrid creature, which suits the viking quite well as it can transform

 

what about the siege tank and predator, no love for them?

 

Dude. Blizzard has already used the unit. I mean that it is A DRAGON IN WC3.

 

they also used banshee before as a banshee in wc3... that didn't stop them from using it again

 

No way!

Thor is much cooler..

some said stuff about Leviathan, which could be cool.. however Leviathan is a monster from the depths.. kinda like a Kraken or something..... so I guess if they make a starcraft variant it should at least fly..

It's easier to imagine a fly fish than a walking fish.

Thor is too cool for school.

and I think Viking is just fine..

 

And I also think it relates to their functionality: the Vikings were raiders. These Vikings can raid a base as well. They land on the enemy base, make their mess, destroy their defenses and escape through the air again! So 'vikinish'! lol, joking. Anyway, perhaps it does make some sense, being serious this time.

 

vikings fits the theme the terrans are going for.

 

It IS the Viking. We're looking for a new name....

Anyway, the Banshee is a bit different in that a Banshee is a Banshee. In WC3 the name was a literal description. In SC2 its a unit name..........

The Chimera lends nothing to the Viking fighter. If the Viking used fire or a chemical in its attack, I would see it being a decent name. It's also too long.

I thought Ares would've been good because it has that relation to "Transformers." Not directly, but in a way since it was from Gundam and it could be "transformed."

 

Viking is fine.
Raptor is better but viking is fine.

 

i liekd teh name viking.

What about the name 'Horseman'?

 

Viking sounds good....yeah..it does... Raptor sounds nice as well... but not as cool as Viking ha ha ^_^

 

You guys might as well just call it the flying condom and get it over with.

 

I dont see the likeness between a flying condom and a minigun-wielding mech with transforming capabilities...
