Hey guys!
Well, I heard that soldiers give names to their firearms. I'm not a soldier, but lately I played with the idea, to name my favorite bot.
Many of you know, what my favorite bot is, but for the others, it is the Gareth. The name, I came up with, is Rhonabwy.
That has two reasons. Let's see, if you can find them. In the meantime, I want to know:
Did you name your favorite bot? When yes, how and why?
Yes, I know it is a silly thread, but I'm through with all the variations of MM and tanking it themes.

Shows up on all robots...If you mean different names for different robots, how will you know who is your friend if you are with them? also will be very confusing to noobs. |

Serious? My player name is Zenotaph. I, just for my own pleasure, gave my Gareth a name.
A fitting one, as a sidenote. Who the heck said, it should show up ingame?

I must say though... The entire time I was in the Army, I never referred to my M-4 by any catchy name. The opposition.. Now we had all kinds of colorful names for indigenous peoples of whatever particular sand filled garbage dump we made fun time in.

Well, actually I find weapons in real life disgusting, so I never was in the army. If it is just on screen, it is exciting. So I only refer to films, games and books. For me the only places, where weapons should exist. |

I refer to my two Lancelots "Hammer" and "Anvil". Hammer is an Orkan/Thunder. Anvil is an Orkan/Ancille.

And if you are a US citizen, just want to add, the very reason I joined and served was to protect and defend not just the citizens of our nation, but also to preserve and defend the Constitution of this Nation, that provides you with the freedoms and rights to feel the way you do. And to also be able to openly express your views without fear of life or limb. Cuz let me tell ya little brother. Folks in Raqqa, Syria don't have that luxury.. When the Shariac Enforcement branch of Islamic State knocks on your door and hands you an AK 47 and tells you to get on the back of their technical, cuz your joining the fight in Mosul.. And you say the same thing you said above... You don't get to go back inside and play War Robots. You get pit in an orange jumpsuit and beheaded and all on film so you can be in the next issue of Daqib for all to see. So your welcome |

Hehe, no, I'm not a citizen of the united states. I'm from munich, capital of bavaria in the BRD.
You would call me a 'Kraut', I think. But I served, somehow. Community service. I looked after handycapped kids.

I have 2 favorite bots, both Boas, that I purchased as soon as I could when I started and have been with me through to TT. I still bring them out once in awhile to stretch those cute little legs.
Boa1 and Boa2 and right now they even have nicknames. Lvl11 and little brother lvl10.

I've named two of my bots.
My Leo w/ Thunder/aphid/punisher I call "Plodosauraus Rex"... cuz he takes forever to get somewhere, but kills everything in reach when he does.
I've got a Griffen that, for some reason, I only run Punishers and PUnisherTT's on.. and I call it BulletHose McGeee.

If your boy Hitler would have been thinking clearly and allowed his Millitary leadership to do their jobs, rather than Hitler assuming control as Supreme Military Commander...

When I saw this thread spawn, I just knew our man DirtyLikaRat® would have some input. Cheers brother! I have not named any bots, but I like the idea. On clan chat I am being called Po (from Kung Fu Panda), so maybe my bots can be named for the furious 5... |

He emigrated from our neighbour country. Just a small fact. Yes, he managed to rule our whole country. Yes, he was one of the worst criminals ever. I'm just happy, that he and his ideals died, before I was even born. |

Well my brother, believe or not, even an old crusty, America loving Army grunt like myself, does not judge an entire race of people, on the Evil, Vile acts and beliefs of one man. Germany has been a great country and people of German and neighboring countries have been important and inspiring historically since the Battle of Adrianople, when the Great Roman Legions were nearly destroyed by brave Germanic warriors, as likes they'd never scene. Science, the Arts, Music.. And my favorite yalls beer!! Haha anyway bro. I send you my address, you think you could send me a good Spatlese... Maybe few cases of Hackerpsor? |

On clan chat I am being called Po (from Kung Fu Panda), so maybe my bots can be named for the furious 5... Hey HeavyPanda my man.. I appreciate the nod. I think a lot of folks maybe take my demeanor as a bit cocky, or lude at times... Or that I don't take the game seriously. Well, the reasons for the way I carry myself,smack talkin, always crackin jokes... Is because this IS a GAME. And just like when I fought full contact, MMA and ISKA kickboxing... Smack talkin is just part of competition. And always in good fun. And far as my crackin jokes incessantly.. When you have been thru and seen things most folks should never have to experience... Such as my time in the Army, the violent Street life before I wised up and joined the Army.. Humor, though dark at times. Is a way to cope. Anyway... All you folks on this forum have been awesome. Made some new friends and look forward to making more. Add me on Facebook. Louie DeBono |

Bots I used recently I would name: Griffin RDB - "lazy bag of bolts" - peek-a-boo with a mediocre damage output...jump you lazy piece of crap! Griffin Molot - "annoying bag of bolts" - (being tested) just to annoy reds lol Griffin PDB (not in use) - "dead bag of bolts" - too often, too (much) dead... Plasma Galahad - "show-off" - yeah, look at me - your favorite target! Aphid Gep - "Itch" or "Rash" - It's always itchy for the reds, sometimes long enough to see the (red) rash coming up Mag Gep (not in use) - "Mr. Hate me" - everyone loves mag geps  Cossack - "jump'n'die"or "weewee" - grasshoppers don't last long, but are just idiotic fun to ride Carnage - "roulette" - sometimes you do quite well, sometimes you manage to do nothing with it |

e.g.
Thunder piñata Leo (Adolf): The grizzled German veteran and the captain of the team. (He was my first heavy bot) He's patient and methodical, as well as calm and collected.
Plasma Rhino (Liam): The brash, rude and confident guy, he's a bit of a loose cannon, but he can lead a charge and brawl like a pro.
Thunder Carnage (Miyazaki): The emo dude, he's silent and creepy AF. An opportunist and predator by nature, he hunts his enemies, before ambushing them with twin thunders.
Plasma Gareth (George): The optimistic and happy-go-lucky British recon guy, he's always optimistic about things, even things like having 2 DB griffins nipping at his heels.
