Name?

What is the name of this task force? In Burkholder's Bane Badge it's shown as "The MegaMech Cometh." On this page, the souvenir is "The Mech Man Cometh." (There's also an apocryphal CCG card: COHCCG/The Mech Man Cometh). So what is the name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felderburg (talkcontribs)

Pretty sure it was "The Mech Man Cometh". I suspect MegaMech was the original designation but then got changed (except perhaps on internals). If you look through the task force text, nothing else in it references "MegaMech". Regarding the two pages you cite, the souvenir's text comes directly from in-game text whereas the badge article's "How to Get" text does not (only the "Description" comes straight from the game), so I would consider the souvenir much more authoritative. -- Sekoia 21:13, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
Ok. The edit I made to that badge was undone, and Aggelakis's change summary indicates a strong opinion that "The Mech Man Cometh" is not the name of the TF. There's obviously a reason for that, so I'm wondering about it (I don't mean in the tone of text to imply I'm "calling out" Agge, just curious about the reasoning).

Probably because the TF page has "The MegaMech Cometh" listed as its name in its InfoBox. I'd argue that it's probably in error, though, unless someone can point to some in-game text that actually justifies that as the current name. If nobody can do that, then I'd say we should update the TF page and the badge to both use the TF name as used in the souvenir. -- Sekoia 22:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
