Another name for Steamjack...

[Desdichado]

For my IK-esque game, I'm going to be using a number of creatures that are like steamjacks and the other steam-powered steampunk-ish robots. What's another name I could use for these types of clockwork constructs? I like steamjack, but it's clearly an IK specific reference, and I want something that's a bit more generic (yet flavorful!) if I can find it. But, I'm drawing a blank here.

I'm personally a big fan of "King's chessmen" and just call them mecha or something for the technical term.
