Scrapbus is the Winner

Well, this certainly went through a lot of deliberation, let me tell you. But after scoping through thousands of names, we've landed at the one we think makes sense from a gameplay and fictional standpoint.

The Forgotten Mutant Bus will now be known as the Forgotten Scrapbus

At the end of the day, this name choice was a fine line between something that is easy to remember and understand on the battlefield, and something that works with the fiction and visuals of the unit.

All Scrapbus winners, Ironback, and Tiberian Twilight contest winners will be granted C&C 4 Beta Access tomorrow (Thursday)...if you're not in already =)

Thanks for playin!

Will all runner-up entries, for all three contests, get in by next week?

LOL ! Scrapbus. So did battlebus made it to top 10?

Scrapbus... Can't say I like it. At least it's more imaginative than "Battle Bus"

I actualy like the name, its fitting (I mean look at the thing), and is deciently original (I still think shortbus should make top 10 lol)

My entry was Battlebus, but we all know thats not exactly the most original name in the world (Generals anyone?)

Top 10 should be out by next week, so I guess we'll find out then

Well I bet that my name suggestion didn't make the top 10.

So the runner ups and other entry winners will get their key next week?

I'm just speculating, but sometime between now and next thursday sounds like a pretty reasonable time frame

shortbus ftw!!

honestly, while this name may be creative, in contrast to the previous two contests, I still think, and many would agree with me, that is is a terrible name.

Still, get battlebus in the top ten and I'm happy

^^I agree, it could have been better (What ever happened to Scavanger as the official name? Bad leaked info?), but it still works I guess.
