If the Coalition States were to build a single giant super robot what is the best name for it?
My proposal is
Kaiser. Can anyone think of
anything better?
This is a single robot made in man's own-likeness designed to be able to go hand to hand against any other threat in North America--single-handedly. I'm not interested in if they COULD or they COULDN'T just IF they could... what would be the COOLEST name for it?

My first suggestion was
EPITOME [ih-PIT-uh-mee], meaning a perfect example of something.
But that lead me to
EXEMPLAR [ex-EM-plar], which is a better sounding synonym.

I'd call it ODIN and mount the nastiest weapons I could find on it.

The Penetrator. The Destrier. The Cavalier. The Piledriver. The Overlord. The Sentinal. The Spartan. The Shieldbearer. The Rapture.
I'm kind of running dry on top of the head ideas. Might have to sit and think of a few more.

1) Dreadnought. It is a classic!.
2) Acorazado. It is "Battleship" in Spanish but it sounds cool for me!
3) Awesome. It is the name of a giant Battle Mech that I remember from the '80s.

they named them after states in the CS, with the original intent to have one such robot in it's namesake state for each of them. unfortunately they cancelled the program after the completion of only the Coalition State of Missouri. now it protects that state... Go Big MO! It's Showtime!

Did you ever play the MechWarrior game for the first XBox? If so, is this where you got your "inspiration" for the name from? Or were you more thinking along the lines of Norse Mythology?
Anyway, I was thinking along these lines:
The Avenger
The Ultima
Fenris (again with the Norse Mythology)
That is all that I can think of at the moment (I had others in mind until I started typing).

I was drawing it from Norse Mythology.

Maybe "reaper". Keeps with the deaths head theme. I also like the idea of super political names like the spirit of democracy, liberty, things like that

Again, good.

It would defiantly have to have the death's head theme and Liberty is good but I just don't feel anything is just
perfect yet.
Keep 'em coming guys.
I also like Prosek1 but as I was having Bradford build it in a giant secret chamber under the Lonestar complex so I don't think that quite works either.

First thing I thought of was the "Death Bringer"
But some synonyms for Enforcer and Abolisher might come in handy also.
