Banshee Or Mantis?

Though I think Banshee is the better choice (not necessarily the more proper one), Mantis fits because of the absurdly long legs on the bug and the fact that it's a stand-up coaster.

Yeah, i know what the word Raptor means (Jurassic Park is my all-time favorite movie..."even the word raptor means 'bird of prey'--Alan Grant)...But even a bird of prey (such as a buzzard or a vulcher) dives out of the sky and grab their food with their claws (talons)...but I still wonder why they have to make the logos so similar...hey, just had an idea...maybe its like names are proportional...birds are to claws as Talon is to Raptor. again, Just an idea :-)

Sorry, I just had to!)

How dare you vanquish the Steel Phantom without his consent? Fear the Phantom's Revenge.

Actually, buzzards and vulchers are scavengers, they don't dive out of the sky, they eat already dead animals. Hawks and falcons, on the other hand are birds of prey.

Thanks for the quote Lynch :)

bird of prey
First appeared 14th Century
: a carnivorous bird (as a hawk, falcon, or vulture) that feeds wholly or chiefly on meat taken by hunting or on carrion

buz*zard (noun)
[Middle English busard, from Old French, alteration of buison, from Latin buteon, buteo hawk]
First appeared 14th Century

2 : any of various usu. large birds of prey (as the turkey vulture)

Anyways...this has totally gotten away from the original thread. :)
