@gunmetalgrey: i like the idea, 3rd nomination is either The Dawn Tredder ship (narnia) or The 1000 Sunny (one piece). Either or, i just wanted to nominate a ship.
Vehicles in Fiction Popularity Contest (WINNER: Millennium Falcon)
Do you guys think we can make it to 64? If you do, I can make it 3 nominations each so those who've made 2 can make another 1 and those who've made 1 can have 2 more.
My additional vehicle would be the Milano from Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2.
@captain_inverse: Went with the Thousand Sunny. We're also seriously lacking in anime vehicles after all.
We need more game and literature vehicles too!
@crash_: I gave it some thought.. and I've decided not to include the Flying Nimbus. If I did, I'd have to allow other non-mechanical mounts like horses, dragons, tigers, pegasi, etc., and I think that would make the qualifications way too broad.
I nominate:
1. Andromeda Ascendant (Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda)
2. Nostromo (Alien)
3. The White Star (Babylon 5)
No Titanic or Black Pearl? We need more ships.
The Titanic's not fictional.
@handyjayjr: I stated in my original post that I worded the title of this contest specifically to include real world vehicles that were made prominent in fiction and the Titanic movie was definitely a work of fiction.
@rockette: You should probably clarify that those are just suggestions, people might think they've already been nominated.
Done.
:)
@khael: @gunmetalgrey: Oh Okay, my bad
@judasnixon: I believe you've still got one more nomination available if you care to make another.
@gunmetalgrey: I just saw this thread today and would like to nominate the mutt mobile from dumb and dumber
@gunmetalgrey: I just saw this thread today and would like to nominate the mutt mobile from dumb and dumber
Nice.
Darn I wish I could nominate these as well but the limit is 3 so i'll just leave them as "SUGGESTIONS" for other people.
@snowpiercer: For what it's worth, at least the Enterprise has already been nominated.
We still need about 5 more people to make nominations..
@gunmetalgrey: Oh sorry I didn't see the enterprise on the first time My bad.
@snowpiercer: It's cool. I'm surprised there aren't more walkers/mechs.
@giliad_: I was wondering when someone was gonna bring up Halo vehicles, some of the most iconic in the previous decade of gaming.
You've still got 2 more nominations.
@gunmetalgrey: Warthog (Halo) and Titans (Titanfall)
Titans (Titanfall)
Any model/"character" in particular?
@jwwprod: Now I'm hoping someone nominates something from Metal Slug..
@gunmetalgrey: I strongly suggest Benny The Cab.
Hopefully someone feels the same nostalgia for Benny as I do.
EDIT: Also The Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor From The Wraith.
@referee: Thanks
Just need 2 more people to make nominations now.
@referee: Thanks
Just need 2 more people to make nominations now.
No problem. Just remember Christine
@referee: So that's what it was.. I knew I'd miscounted the nominations somewhere.
@naamah_obyzouth: IIRC, Sweet Tooth is the truck. I forgot what the clown's name is.. I miss playing Twisted Metal.
Anyway, you've still got one more nomination.
@gunmetalgrey: Jeepers Creepers Truck.
@gunmetalgrey: The Creepers Truck is a 41 Chevy COE if you want to be more specific.
@gunmetalgrey: Wanna shoot for 128?
I think we could do it.
@handyjayjr: I only use the specific models if the vehicle doesn't have a particular name. In this case it's actually called "the Creeper Truck".
No doubt I can list another 64 vehicles, but I won't push my luck for others to make those nominations. It took some doing to get as many as there are right now and there's still some empty slots left.
I'll give it another 24 hours for someone new to make the final 3 nominations. If it doesn't happen, then I'll just fill it in with the most iconic ones suggested so far and we can finally begin.
Just a few hours left 'til I fill up the slots.
Isn't there even one more person out there who's got 3 nominations to give?
@naamah_obyzouth: @jedixman: @referee: @jwwprod: @giliad_: @snowpiercer: @judasnixon: @handyjayjr: @rockette: @khael: @kairan1979: @crash_: @redxiii18881990: @Penguin-Dust: @captain_inverse: @life_without_progress: @zetsumoto: @_gaff_: @heroup2112: @jardinain2: @xwraith:
Alright, we've got our complete list of nominations (FINALLY). I think we have a nice well-rounded group with some cool obscure ones in the mix.
With so many, I'll probably just go with a straight-up elimination. I'll be out for a bit, but I'll start the first round within the next 24 hours (I still need to find images to use for most of these when I get back..).
It was a bit of a wait, but thanks for the participation so far!
Warthog wins; anyone who says different can suck it
Can it make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs? I think not.
@naamah_obyzouth: @jedixman: @referee: @jwwprod: @giliad_: @snowpiercer: @judasnixon: @handyjayjr: @rockette: @khael: @kairan1979: @crash_: @redxiii18881990: @Penguin-Dust: @captain_inverse: @life_without_progress: @zetsumoto: @_gaff_: @heroup2112: @jardinain2: @xwraith:
Finally, it begins! The randomizer gave us a pretty interesting first match-up.
Round 1, Match 1:
Invisible Plane (Wonder Woman)
VS.
AT-AT (Star Wars)
