Just for giggles, I thought I'd start a thread devoted solely to names for Warforged PCs/NPCs that refer to robots, cyborgs, machines, etc. that have names you could use for your Warforged.

If you post one, please include the reference so we can all get it.

None of them are too obvious. Here go some (please fill in the gaps):

Steve Austin - The Six-Million Dollar Man
Data, Lor, and Bal - from ST:NG
Warlock - from New Mutants comic books
Ultron - from multitudinous Marvel comic books, mostly The Avengers
Tron, Bit, etc. - from Tron
Mechanon - Ultron derived PC from HERO System's Champions setting
Braniac - mechanical villain from Superman comics
VGER - the main protagonist in the first Star Trek movie
C3PO, R2D2 - the main robots from Star Wars
Bolo - Kieth Laumer's intelligent killing machines
Berserker - Fred Saberhagen's intelligent killing machines
Ogre - giant intelligent tanks based on Bolos and Berserkers, from the SJG game Ogre.
Kanchi - robot from FLCL (Fooly Cooly) anime series
Ash, Bishop, Call - robots from Alien series
B.O.B., V.I.N.CENT, Maximilian - robots from The Black Hole

And let's not forget a plethora of Transformer names to be harvested by the originality-impaired gamer.

Good, good!

I meant to include Yul Brynner's Westworld character, but I couldn't remember his name. Was he just "gunslinger in black" or did the character have a name? If he didn't I suppose you could just use "Delos," the name of the company that ran Westworld/Futureworld.

Any more out there?

I've just decided that when I play Eberron, I'll make a Warforged named Sommers. With a female persona.


And don't forget Steve Austin, the name of the Bionic Man. Since he's a construct you could give him the nickname "stone cold." ;)
