C&C 4 - The Forgotten Gorilla

Recommended Posts

Here is your first look at one of the new units in Command & Conquer 4, currently codenamed "The Forgotten Gorilla". And why is it codenamed? Because this is the unit you will naming in the Name the Unit contest when it gets started next week.

So start thinking of some creative names, contest information and prize details will be posted soon.

Yeah, it's not the same as upgrading from "4" to "Tiberian Twilight"...

 

As I said in the other topic:

The shape, the stance, I'm assuming the brute strength, even the forgotten being kind of 'guerrilla' in their exiled living conditions.

Sorry APOC, but this is a little like the idea to name the game, they both have obvious answers, so why bother with a contest.

 

This a great idea for the wrong unit. They should have picked a non-descript or ordinary looking unit.

Gorilla is the name people were calling them at commandcom and the name fits so neatly....

I'm not sure, but when I look at the picture, he's got an arm and a drill. So I name him, the Mauler.

 

Gorilla still works ok, another Den member name him Silverback. I got another which is Crusher, not that creative but I'll surely pick Mauler when that contest comes out.

Big fist and drill arm... might grab units and drill into them. Like a RA3 Apocalypse Tank using the harpoon (claws) and grinder (drill).

 

Mauler is an ok sounding name, but assuming I am correct on how it fights, not the best description as Mauler tends to imply blunt crushing force (since it comes from maul, a hammer).

Same goes for Crusher.

Silverback is a fancy way to keep calling it Gorilla. As a pun, it does not work, its back is the least silver part, as that section seems to be spewing tiberium gas.

Gorilla fits. If a pun is needed, then call it Guerrilla. I'd go with either of these two choices...

 

 

The name debate aside, why is this a Forgotten unit? The Forgotten seem more like a scrap yard chop shop faction to me, what are they doing with a walker? Its design just doesn't look right as a Forgotten unit. Yes, it is asymmetrical and has random (tiberium?) exhaust vents jutting out the back, but it still looks too assembly lined to me.

Maybe when the contest officially starts, they will have an updated and more fitting image to present us with, but still, a walker just doesn't seem like the Forgotten's style.

Nice artwork. Nmenth, maybe it's assembled from scavenged parts of a disabled GDI and Nod mechs (wolverine, titan, avatar,... - I hope that EALA have a similar explanation for creation of this unit) :D

It wold be nice to see some video of this unit (movement, how it kills, maybe some other functions) then I maybe come up with some "innovative" name. For now, "Forgotten Gorilla" fits perfectly.

like that idea of the parts that is found from GDI or Nod mechs, so why dont we call it Frankenstein. because its build from different parts and its not "that hitech".

 

it can even have an acronym like F.F unit, Forgotten Frankenstein :check:

Imho it fits the shiners design philosophy quite well- looks both "out-of-the-world" and cheaply assembled.

I think they should really have left it nameless for the survey but I'll probly go with Gorilla unless something better pops into my head.

$100 says that it's going to be Gorilla.

 

I'll probably think of a different name. The Graveler, Mutant's hand. XD

The Drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus) is a primate of the Cercopithecidae (Old-world Monkeys) family, closely related to the baboons and even more closely to the Mandrill.

 

Mandrill... even better. :P

maybe a small "change" to MaDrill would make it even more "fears" :shy:

It defeats the purpose of the name to change it.

Although Mandrill is amusing, I still prefer Gorilla.

Gorilla is too boring. Mandrill is interesting at least. :P

Call me suspicious, but won't they have a rule saying "all entires must be unique" and/or "entries cannot be called Gorilla"?

 

You'd have thought they'd learned from the "Name the Game" competition.

 

For now, if we can't pick Gorilla, i pick either Madrill (credit goes to whoever made it up first) or the Gibbon.

I doubt it.

Johnnyxp64 invented MaDrill, altered spelling of Mandrill which isn't invented, but an actual animal.

At first I was beginning to think this unit shall be named the Mutant Gorilla. :rolleyes:
