Death Warrant: Keep it as it is. Seems like a perfectly fine name.

RoadBoat: I'd like for this to change. Seems like a odd idea to name a vehicle "RoadBoat"

Talon: Keep it as it is. Talon sounds good for a helicopter

MeatWagon: I'd like for this to change, but if it doesn't then I won't complain. I'd probably have to get a better look at the vehicle to get a idea on what it is.

Vermin: Definitely keep it as it is.

Junkyard Dog: Keep it as it is. It's JYD so it's somewhat classic.

Reaper: I'll say keep it as it is PROVIDING Mr. Grimm is still going to be in the game despite this motorcycle.

Those are my two cents.

TMA’ers,

As per Dave Jaffe’s request, let us pool together and discuss our thoughts on the names of the characters that were available on the E3 playtest build. Here’s a refresher list for everyone’s convenience.

(SPECIAL REQUEST : I don’t have pics of these characters so if someone could kindly attach them to this thread, I would greatly appreciate it.  Smiley)

o       Death Warrant – Junk type sports car with Ford Mustang type design.

o      Roadboat – Bulky junk car that resembles a cross between Thumper, Yellow Jacket and Roadkill.

o      Talon – Helicopter.

o      MeatWagon – Ambulance+Wagon combined.

o      Vermin – Exterminator van. It’s the Yellow Van that occasionally appeared in the E3 reveal video.

o      JunkYard Dog – Tow Truck.

o      Reaper – The motorcycle.

RULES:
1) Do not suggest YOUR OWN names for the vehicles. Feel free to reference characters from past Twisted Metal games (except TM3 and 4 of course….) though.
2) Please follow the following format when replying to this post.

Choose from the following 2 thoughts.

a) Keep it as it is.
b) I’d like for this to change.

Vehicle’s given name – Thoughts choice – Short description

Ex. Death Warrant – b) I’d like for this to change – I feel like a name the describes the sporty aspect of the vehicle would be nice.

Thank you for taking time to read the rules. Now let your voices be heard!



DEATH WARRANT - B.) - Change -- Sounds to much like an 80s hair metal band. When I think of a sports car I think of either Crimson Fury or Specter.

ROAD BOAT - B.) Change -- Just don't like the sound of it

TALON - A.) Keep -- I like this one. Fits with the special.

MEATWAGON - A.) Keep -- Its awesome. Keep it.

VERMIN - A.) Keep -- Another awesome sounding name.

JUNK YARD DOG - A.) Keep -- Obviously this one is a keep

REAPER -- I honestly cannot decide on this one. If its a Mr. Grim driven motorcycle then I would understand calling it "Reaper" but if its not driven by Grim ... then I would say no, call it something else.

Question...

These character names are specifically for MP right and customizable?

Will SP have our favorites come back?

Just need clarification.


From my conversations with Dave and Christian Cardona, the cars available in Mp will be the same ones available in SP so I doubt there will be a deviation in names. Highly likely that they will have a default driver per car for storyline purposes but to my understanding, the names stand.

The Ozone/Meat Wagon double nod to Rouge Trip is too good to give up. Please don't give this one up   Smiley

It's going to make me look for other nods to older games. Maybe i'll drive by a hotdog stand and see Dick's face on the side? Or a Greek diner called Kratos Family Restaurant?

Death Warrant – Spectre? Only thing that comes to mind when I see this car. Spectre was a sports car.. and this looks like a modern sports car.

Roadboat – Roadkill for the look of the car or Thumper due to it's special.  I really don't like the name unless I see the character who is driving it.

Talon – I like the name.. if there is a name for the helicopters in TMB and TMHO then I'd give it the same name as those.

MeatWagon – KEEP IT

Vermin – KEEP IT

JunkYard Dog – KEEP IT

Reaper – KEEP IT

Death Warrant – Keep it. (Although it does remind me of a black version of Spectre's car from another Twisted Metal game that I should not say.)

Roadboat – Change it unless the car CAN float in water.

Talon – Keep it.

MeatWagon – Keep it.

Vermin – Keep it.

JunkYard Dog – Keep it.

Reaper – I don't know about this one. I guess keep it?

One of the other guys here has a fanfic about an ambulance called Flatliner I think?

That just sounds so cool actually.

Though I still say stick with MeatWagon for little RT winks.

The only one to change I would say is Road Boat (it actually sounds like a placeholder). ROADKILL pls!

(unless RK is in there and he's a seperate car?)


That would be the primate, the myth, legend, MonkeyKing.

If you think about it we probably took a good name for Roadboat in one are fics, and Mybe there afriad to use it. I mean High Tide would have worked or something along those lines.

but the name reminds me of the boat turned into a car on tv.

Death Warrant - Keep as is. all thoe looks like specter maybe have as the ambulance name.
Roadboat - like i said above , needs a new name.
Talon - Keep as is.
MeatWagon - The name needs to change to somthin that reflects. maybe have Krista drive it. 
Vermin - Keep as is. Seems to fit the car and I think it sounds cool honestly.
Junkyard Dog - Keep as is.
Reaper - Keep as is

Death Warrant  - Keep it as it is - makes the car sound like a mercenary vehicle

Roadboat - I'd like for this to change to Roadkill - the car highly resembles Roadkill from Twisted Metal Black

Talon - Keep it as it is

Meat Wagon - Keep it as it is

Reaper - I'd like for this to change - Mr Grimm is a better fitting name

Vermin - Keep it as it is - The name fits this vehicle well

Junkyard dog - Keep it as it is - I'm for the return of any Twisted Metal Black vehicle


Edit: sorry joe, I posted it in the wrong topic, look for it in the TM @ E3 topic

I like all the names decent enough except one:

Roadboat.

Sounds like the loveboat met the highway or something.

Maybe something a tad more intimidating or unboat related

Death Warrant - It's alright. I wouldn't be heartbroken if it changed, though.

Roadboat - Don't like it at all. I'm dying for it to be renamed Roadkill.

Talon - Good name, but would like it to be called Warhawk. If it doesn't play like Warhawk (TMB, not standalone game) than I understand keeping it as a brand new character.

Meat Wagon - Two thumbs up, love it! Reminds of TM1-2 era humor.

Vermin - Pretty apathetic to it. Not bad, but not great. It fits the car, though.

Junkyard Dog - Keep it!!!

Reaper - I'd like it to be called Grimm. If Mr. Grimm is a character/gang, then Reaper is a good name to have as a trademark bike.

Thanks for the input guys! Smiley I'll keep monitoring the thread and will hopefully have a recap of the general consensus sometime next week.

Death Warrant - (Keep it.) It seems to fit.

Roadboat - (Ditch it.) It sounds terrible and clunky. Do not want.

Talon - (Indifferent.) Meh. It's meh.

Meat Wagon - (Ditch it.) You guys can do better.

Vermin - (Keep it.) I'm a sucker for one word names. It's not amazing, but it fits just fine.

Junkyard Dog - (Keep it). I never EVER liked the name, but since it's a TMB car, I suppose you'll have to stick with it.

Reaper - If this is supposed to be driven by Mr. Grimm, just drop the Mr. and call the bike Grimm. My opinion is that the name is still cool.
