Numan floated prospective titles for the new album amongst his fanbase. Fans were given the opportunity to vote for one of three potential album titles - "This Prison Moon", "Poetry and Power", and "Glasshouse." Numan ultimately overruled the fans' preference of "This Prison Moon" and chose "Warriors" as the album's title. Numan's image for the "Warriors" album, singles, and live tour (consisting of black leather costume with weapon accessories, set against a post-apocalyptic backdrop) was influenced by the film "Mad Max 2" (1981). Many parts of the actual costume came from a sex shop in Soho, London.
