Rename Ideas for Urban Strike Nullifier/Flak Viper?

DanOfTheDead · **Posted:** Fri Mar 19, 2021 12:21 pm

I'm working on making the rest of the TRU Urban Strike figures, having done 4 of the 6 for the Shadow Brigade in the Resurgence Night Force 2 project:

Urban Strike

Shadow Brigade

I'm wanting to rename the Nullifier, as it's obviously not a Nullifier and doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. When I did the test of the troops, I altered the name a bit to go with a night theme.

NIGHTCREEPERS > MIDNIGHT CREEPERS

ALLEY VIPERS > DARK ALLEY VIPERS

I'm trying to come up with a name that fits the FLAK VIPER but adds something dark/night related.

So far I'm thinking something like NIMBUS VIPER or STORM VIPER, going with the flak cloud imagery.

Another possibility would be ECLIPSE VIPERS, blacking out the sky, etc.

Anyone have any ideas? Ideally it would actually include FLAK, I just can't think of a way to shoe horn it in.

Fly at knight = Flak, maybe some Latin words that spell out flak. I'll keep thinking.

Hailstorm came to mind immediatley.

Similar word to Flak is Brickbat.

Bats are associated with the night. Are there bat vipers in joe mythos yet? With bat troopers it might be confusing though.

Maybe just changing it to B.L.A.K. Vipers
Ballistic
Long-range
Aircraft
Killers

That's interesting... I'll have to consider that.

Pom-Pom?

Pom-Pom?

Although, that does sound like a JOE name, maybe a former high school/college cheerleader, joined the Army and got into Air-Defense Artillery.

I have a guy called 'Ack-Ack' I made up.

These are all helping. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Right now I'm thinking Blackout Vipers, these were all super helpful to getting me there.
