What does the mecha look like?

I hadn't thought about the shape of the actual machine since it is surrounded by clouds. The Mecha rose toward the clouds and then paused as it gathered the moist air around it, covering and veiling the machine within dark, billowing clouds. But you are right though, perhaps knowing what the "machine" looks like would help in trying to to name it. I shall have to think on that more.

Hmm ... the following come to mind: Vortex Twisted Blade Tasmanian Devil Thunderhead Cloud Splicer Updraft of Death (hee hee) Zoltar has seldom given me writing commands, but on the rare occasions he does, I find him far more rational than when I'm writing from the team's POV.

Maelstrom

Oooh I really like Maelstrom.

Toranado comes to my mind...and yes I know it's not spelled quite like that but my pronunciation isn't saying it quite the same simple way...

" BoB" Billowing Obscurer of boundaries Befuddling obstacle of bulkiness Brilliant overshadower of bothersomeness yer got nothing, just needed to post just one of those days when the brain isn't functioning

This is the first time I have ever had Zoltar's voice suddenly give me orders. Usually I have Mark's or Jason's voice in mind when I write. Very nice options for names. Vortex is one I had already noted. Along with Tempest. Maelstrom is something new and I like how Tasmanian Devil would stay with the animal theme Zoltar usually uses. Little Wolf - thanks for the giggle those even describe the affect of the mecha.

I like Maelstrom, too! I know the following name isn't new or original, but maybe "Thundra". On a silly note: Buzz Lightning, or Lightning McCloud! *giggles* that's what watching a lot of kids' films does to you!

LOL ... now I am imagining Zoltar sitting and watching kiddie films/cartoons to help him choose the next mecha to build. That is one way to traumatize an entire generation in one go.

OK then, start watching more cartoons and find out the next mecha designs before they've had time to build them!!!!

Okay, Marie's are the most fun! I love it when they give the mecha silly names! But Maelstrom is a good one!

Originally posted by clouddancer Here is a description of the mecha: The mecha was designed to create powerful artificial, winds, reaching speeds as strong as a force 5 tornado, and lightning. Both which could be controlled and focused by the mecha.

Cyclone?

But Maelstrom is a good one. copied from above but I like it too... honestly a lot of the names do have the ability to fit the circumstance

If Maelstrom doesn't work for you, maybe Typhon?

I am enjoying all the suggestions. As GG pointed out, everyone of them could fit nicely into the story.

how about Eddy?

am I missing something with that sug. KT? Something tells me there is more behind the name Eddy, and I can't figure it out

An eddy is not just a name but it can also be a tide, or whirlpool. Which would be a good name since the mecha creates swirling winds and creates choppy seas when it is flying over the ocean.

see I knew there was something more to it.... thanks KT

...And here I thought there was a Rocky Horror reference going on!

I have never watched the movie .... I have never watched that show, was there an Eddy in it?

In the movie, that was a bit role played by Meat Loaf.

Meat Loaf again? CD, Rocky Horror is a very funny musical spoof of B movies. It stars Basrry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry, Charles Gray, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell, Richard O'Brien, and I can't recall who played Rocky or Dr. Scott. Bostwick and Sarandon are a young couple who end up in Dr. Frank N. Furter's mansion. Now, find it and watch.
