I suppose that works, as long as you can make sure no one translates "those guys" to meaning "those rapists" or "those serial killers".
I don't see how they could, without whoever is changing it being given that "wtf" look . . .

You know, like the one I'm giving you now for bringing up the possibility in the first place?

Does not. ¬__¬

WHY MUST EVERYONE CONTRADICT MY NAME? :(

My point was just that "those guys" is awfully vague.

"Guys" can mean pretty much anything.

You know, before this latest update, but after the "This world..." update, everybody was calling that thing at the end "That Guy."

I figure it would only make sense that we know there are many of them now, that they should now be called "Those Guys."

After all, it's not like there's anything else that we can refer to as "Those Guys."

Aside, "Modea" is inherently stupid, as everybody knows, and, due to our lack of knowledge on the things, "Those Guys" seems to be the most fitting . . .

I just wonder why it doesn't stick as well as "That Guy" . . .

I didn't see anyone calling him that. If they ever did, it was only in context, after establishing him as "that guy from the 'This World. . .' update".

I've called him "solider guy" or "minion guy" before because it's pretty obvious that he's a lackey of some kind.

"That guy", by itself, isn't descriptive enough for me. "Modea" might be stupid, but at least people know what I'm talking about.

I'm not sure quite yet, they seem like the new Fighting Polygons/Fighting Wireframes, but it seems weird to go that route. The FP/FW's have been things to do with Models, Like a Wireframe Skeleton, or a Polygon Model, its weird to ruin that tradition. (It'd be like changing Race To The Finish to Find The Colored Door)

I like "Those Guys" and "Smash-Bots" and "mimicks" better than "modea"

EDIT: Maybe it's because "modea" sounds very stupid when you read it using spanish vocals, but I can't help it.

EDIT2: We should really, really make a poll with all the name suggestions!!

We should call them "Botly" from JumpStart 3rd Grade Video Game!

HAHA, sweet. Randomness FTW!

Well in Japan, the Fighting Wireframes are called the Nazo no Zako Tekigun Dan (The Mysterious Small Fry Enemy Army Group) or Zakos for short, why don't we call these enemies Zakos, until the official name for them is known, since they are successors to the Fighting Wireframes as well as the Fighting Polygons? Heck they are even purple like them.

Good find, but I think in the first pic Modea is getting HIT by the boomerang, but that's just my opinion.

I think it would be awesome if they were the new polygons, but the ones without projectiles would all look the same.

what if one of them has kirby's b

that's a copy of a copy move

anyway i think that very little signs show which character(s) they're copying

what if the gun guy has samus's gun, missiles, and fox's laser making him a full ballistic modea

others can have different builds combining many characters

a heavy one can have dk/bowser attacks and so on

I do think they will just be fighting polygons that copy the abilities exactly. The picture with Samus sure looks like they are ment to be facing each other with the same attack, there have been more pictures in that style, the kinda, "funny screenshot" thing.

Also, the mistake about these being called "modea" is because when you rightclick the first picture where this guy is in, in the topic "this world..." it says "modea01_070720k.jpg" as filename. However, the first person to post about this didn't notice that it's in the subfolder "modea" as well, just like all other pictures concerning the adventure mode. The first post; "this world" actually has them in the subfolder "modea01" and the second post "What is the Subspace Emissary?" is in the subfolder "modea02". Every post has a subfolder like this, just to keep the website easy to edit and manage for the staff.

As for agreeing on the name, I'ld say just call them the radio controlled guys or something, you can see the red antenna sticking out of their heads.
