Why not to mess with the Pride

Thought of this when I came across a car called the Simba. :) But it's not an ordinary car. So here is what I though of:

Take a character's name as it is, the meaning of their name, or their function, and you get a pride made of some of the best military hardware in the world. 8-) Why? here is just a few examples:

Simba: (literal): The SIMBA APC (Armored Personal Carrier)Image

Mufasa: (translation): King. So why not the King Tiger Tank? Image

Sarabi: (translation): Mirage. The French build the Mirage family of Interceptors. Image

Zazu: (function) eyes in the sky: The E3 sentry.
Image

Or even a spy satellite:

So just take a hint: Don't get on their bad side. It will hurt you. :-?

What can you come up with?

Other note: is this in the right section? It's sort-of TLK related, but it might be better in The Den.

1. That's just a support vehicle. It can't shoot back.

2. What character will it be?

Yeah, but it can easily have 50.cal MG's attached to it, or some kind of MG, I dunno which it was.

What character? Damn, you got me stumped on that one...I'll think about it, and probably come up with a new vehicle/weapon related to the pridelanders :P

The A-10 thunderbolt. Nicknamed the 'Warthog' AKA Pumbaa ;)

Dang! I can't believe I missed that one. :(

I was thinking the M-60 for Pumbaa, because it's called the "pig". But the A-10 is so much better! :evil:

edit: why did you get a picture of it on the ground? It belongs in the air!

Because I liked the painting on the nose of the plane. It makes it look so much more intimidating along with that gatling gun at the front! :D Also, I doubt some people will be that interested in this because some people don't really like weapons of war. :/ I don't know why, I enjoy knowing about what's keeping Al-Qaeda at bay ;)
