- I think it was "Race Evolution Vehicle". Not genocidal, but all too easily twisted into "yellow power!". --M Sipher 15:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- That sounds right. I knew it wasn't "Race Execution Vehicle," but was something that SOUNDED like it. -hx 15:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Uprising
[edit]Outside some other clue, I think the pilot from Uprising was a version of this Eagle Killer, not R.E.V.'s Korean name. Jim already used Battlefennec and a few other Battle Beasts in this manner. --Xaaron (talk) 17:04, 1 January 2017 (EST)
