[QUOTE="Green Knight, post: 1487069, member: 2723"] I nominate [b] Cypher[/b] for the cell phone. A couple definitions for the word "Cypher". a quantity of no importance a person of no influence a secret method of writing a message written in a secret code convert ordinary language into code The first two definitions signifying his size. Nobody'll think much about a bad guy who's that small. As far as everyone is concerned, he's a "quantity of no influence or importance". The latter three definitions refer to his abilities. He's an infiltrator, and he took the form of a communications device because of his job, which is to hide behind enemy lines and spy on the enemy, then send back coded messages to his allies of any weaknesses which he uncovers. Which brings us back to the first two definitions. A "quantity of no importance". Nobody thinks much of him, and because of that and his area of expertise, he can potentially be one of the most devastating bad guys around. The good guys will be there scratching their heads wondering how all their secrets were uncovered, and it'll never occur to them to consider that this miniscule, insignificant robot was instrumental in their defeat.
