Nicknames for turrets

This thread is for creating alternative names for each turret that pertains to its mechanics and/or alterations.

 

I was making parody lyrics to a song which was a rant about Firebird and Compact Tanks being too powerful and the effect it had on certain players but it had been nerfed so I don't think it'd make much sense since it's cheesy and the purpose of writing it was nullified. Been doing it since early January. 

 

After writing the first draft, I had made 3 alternate names for Firebird. I couldn't name any more. Out of boredom, I decided to make some for the other turrets. My aim was to get 3 names for each turret.  These are what I came up with so far: 

 

 

Firebird: The Burner -----> @TheCongoSpider

              The Drought -----> @TheCongoSpider

              The Furnace -----> @TheCongoSpider

 

 

Freeze: The Ice Age -----> @TheCongoSpider 

             The Frostbite -----> @TheCongoSpider

             The Snowstorm (or Blizzard) -----> @TheCongoSpider

             The Absolute Zero -----> @TankiMafia

 

 

Isida: The Surgeon -----> @TheCongoSpider

          The Nanobite -----> @TheCongoSpider 

          The Neuronaut -----> @u812ic

          The Nanovacuum -----> @fordmustang12345

 

Hammer: The Drummer -----> @TheCongoSpider

                The Double Drum (Duplet) -----> @TheCongoSpider                 

                The Judge -----> @Given

 

 

Ricochet: The Zig Zag -----> @TheCongoSpider

                The Bouncer -----> @TheCongoSpider

                The Rebounder -----> @u812ic

 

 

Twins: The Dualer (Pronounced like Dueler) -----> @TheCongoSpider

            The Plasma Express -----> @TankiMafia

 

 

Smoky: The Shock Therapist's Assistant -----> @TheCongoSpider

             The Tesla Coil -----> @u812ic 

             The Gattling Pea -----> @ZloyDanuJI 

 

 

Thunder: The Demolition -----> @TheCongoSpider

                 The Demoman -----> @TheCongoSpider

                 The Clap -----> @u812ic 

 

 

Vulcan: The Molten Hailstorm -----> @DieselPlatinum

 

 

Striker: The Sentinel -----> @TheCongoSpider

             The Acquisition -----> @TheCongoSpider

             The Warhead -----> @ZloyDanuJI 

             The Power Plant -----> @TheCongoSpider

 

 

Railgun: The Sights -----> @TheCongoSpider

              The Gambler -----> @TheCongoSpider

 

 

Gauss: The Shock Therapist -----> @TheCongoSpider

 

 

 

Shaft: The Laser Sights -----> @TheCongoSpider

 

 

Magnum: The Physicist -----> @TheCongoSpider

                  The Peanut Lobber ---> @Benefactor

 

 

B0-NK:  The Nutcracker ------> @PirateSpider

 

 

 

What names can you guys come up with? Remember to start the name with "The". Abstract nouns/occupations are what we're mainly looking for. 

 

I added the names of the members who influenced the naming or directly named the nicknames for each turret.

do you even understand the definition of a "nickname"? 

I put guidelines for naming them. I update it an hour ago explaining what we're looking for. I gave guidelines to follow. Look at the pattern of words I put for each of them.

 

I can't say I didn't expect this but I expected at least one of the first people to take the topic and it's clear or unclear guidelines seriously.  :lol:

My brain had a hard time getting wrapped around this, but here's what I came up with:

 

 

Firebird...The Dragon

Freeze...The Cryonaut

Isida...The Neuronaut or the Thief

Hammer...The Nailer

Ricochet...The Rebounder

Twins...The Pooh-Pooher (from the sound it makes when firing)

Smoky...The Ninja or The Zapper

Thunder...The Clapper (clap of thunder)

Vulcan...The Volcano when used with the incendiary band (Vulcan is the Roman god of fire and volcanoes)

Striker...The Swiss (cheeser or cheese maker)

Railgun...The Driver

Shaft...The Light Ray

Magnum...The Reaper or Grim Reaper

 

 

That's the best I could do.
