Winners of the "Name That Mechamorph" contest announced!

[rvaughn_ffg]

I was thinking "Brainwave" for the spy/mobile-phone. I imagined an insidious voice, that while in mobile-phone form, would whisper insidious things into the user's ear and would 'control' them (a charm power or something).

You're not far off on our intent for that devious little guy . . .

As for the time limit, the contest ends May 7th.

Time's Up!

Awright, everyone, thanks for the many and great (and sometimes hilarious) entries! The contest is officially over, as it is now the morning of May 8th, at least in the Central time zone. Give us a few days to look over the submissions, and keep your eyes peeled here for the winners!

Thanks,

 

[rvaughn_ffg]

And the winners are . . .

EXILE GUARDIAN:

Aegis Pax (Green Knight) and Aegis (Hand of Vecna)​

We're going to give two winners for this one; Green Knight came up with the phrase first, I believe, but Hand of Vecna streamlined it to the name we eventually chose: Aegis, meaning "protection" or, in Greek Mythology, the shield or breastplate carried by Zeus or Athena.​

EXILE SCOUT:

Backtrack (mistergone)​

In the proud tradition of giant transforming robots, this name, while not having too terribly much to do with the robot's form, suggests a habit or favored combat style. I like the idea of this rugged backcountry guerilla warrior covering his buddy's butts as they flee from a Tyrant assault, taking out the cocky bad guys one by one.​

TYRANT SPY:

Deadringer (Werther von G)​

How could we NOT go for this one? It's just too melodramatic, punny, and cheesy! ​

If all winners could please e-mail me at robert@fantasyflightgames.com with their mailing info, I'll put them on the list for comp copies, due to be mailed out in June as soon as the book comes into the warehouse!

 

[WanderingMonster]

Congratulations to the winners! Those are great names!

Is there a good sportsmanship prize? Kidding!
