lol username Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Has LEGO confused enough character names yet? Yes? Too bad, there's more! Most minifig textures in LEGO Racers have the names of the minifigs condensed into two letters, often as an abbreviation, or just two prominent letters in their name. Gypsy Moth is GM, Ann Droid is AD, Black Jack Hawkins is BJ, etc. Textures for generic minifig heads available in the minifig builder seem to have abbreviations of generic names - LG (LEGO Girl?), LH (LEGO Head?), LM (LEGO Mustache?), and LS (LEGO Sunglasses?). For the most part, it's smooth sailing... Textures for minifig torsos that aren't part of characters explicitly in the game (as opponents at least) are still named after characters they are used in... This is where things get a little weird. EO IN MJ MM TU Now let's look at some characters... Eddie Octane Indy LeMans Majisto Mandy the Mechanic Turbo Charger Two of the three, Majisto and Mandy, are correct - the other three got shuffled around. At least for Turbo Charger, who was included as a pre-built character, they got his appearance and name right in-game... Well, not completely, they gave him grey pants instead of white. I'm fine with that though, it's not like there aren't a thousand variations of each 90s Town minifigure anyway. And you can still build all the other characters without a problem, the name confusion is just internal texture stuff. Well, Majisto's beard isn't available, but until we can edit head/hat models there's not much we can do about that. And then this head is named "WC". Is it a character name we haven't heard of? Is it a generic name like... White... something? Odd. Also, Achu is "TC"... Tribal Chief? Pranciblad, le717, emily and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Cupcake Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Well, at least abbreviations are mildly understandable, so it makes a bit of sense, but why oh why can LEGO devs not get the names right! I'm just as confused as your are with the WC. By the way, you posted this under Rock Raiders instead of LEGO Racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 You saw nothing. Racers 2 has some odd stuff as well... I recall seeing some duplicate Slyboots textures named "Mr Hates". Yajmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Achu is "TC"... Tribal Chief? Could potentially be the initials for the name of the Ice Planet guy who uses the head, since we know that he did have a name internally. The Wild West guy is less likely, since that theme didn't really have a presence in LEGO Racers, but then, it could be Wild West Cowboy. EDIT: No, it couldn't be the cowboy. Definitely the Ice Planet guy, because the rest of his parts are in LEGO Racer's inventory, just like Majisto, Mandy, and the rest of the characters you listed. WC must be his initials. So Commander Cold, Major Ursa... what is a title that begins with W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, it could be White, and then the name of an hairstyle. Or maybe, simply Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
