Re: Team Bud Thread

Mablethorpe mangler.
Mablethorpe mauler.
Mablethorpe marauder.

you may note a common denominator in the way I name Mrobots.

still could be worse, could be Skeggy or Cleethorpes.

FYI (see I'm right up there with all this modern terminology dude) Mortis was originally going to be called Oedipus Illegitum, but somebody on the Mentorn crew new enough latin to work it out so we were asked to change it.

Re: Team Bud Thread

LOL. We were discussing where the name mortis did come from.

I think with the team having short names for their robots we would like to keep it short.....

Might name it ARFA after its creator.

Re: Team Bud Thread

Mortis is one of the judges in the original Judge Dredd comics (not the film).

[arfamortis]

Re: Team Bud Thread

It's also sort of latin for death.

Re: Team Bud Thread

Rigamortis will be the name of what was Maelstrom. Its now settled and decided. And thats if anyone is interested at all. So there will be a nice tracked robot on the scene next year for a nice change.

Getting New evolution of Envy started in the next few weeks and also a Rebuild of Thor. Tho Thor will look the same its just subtle changes and made stronger with a buffertank installed.

Excited about next year already.

I'd better get started on Wedginator X then...

And awesome news about Rigamortis, Shane. Seems Trax's incarnate has come.
