Here's the basic statistics;

Primary Function: Quartermaster (Smuggler)
Secondary Function: Recon
Alternate Mode: Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1700 light freighter

And now here's the catch, I've been inspired by the 'Millenium Falcon' alt in the game and by the SWTF toy, but because the two toy halves can't become separate vehicles despite being two robots, I'm thinking of a twist. - The character exists in a binary state, one mind, one spark in two bodies. (that combine into one when transforming) I'm wanting to avoid the obvious like 'Doubleteam' or anything else focused on double, twin or two for the name and I can't come up with any ideas...

So I'm doing something completely crazy and asking the forums for suggestions (Mercy be had upon my soul...)... Anyone have any?

NCC 1701?

Borgi Von Warbird???

Hmmm... I'll recommend those to some of the players over at the Star Trek Online forums, HC. About par for the course for ship names in that game (Lord at all the various misspellings of 'Enterprise' people use there...).

Wait, Steve's normal vocabulary or this suddenly more talkative version that's somehow appeared recently? :???:

Let's be honest, you should name it after me.

Or Han Yolo.

*edit*

Hyper Drive comes to mind too.

No doubt as bad as the wealth of variants on Optimus Prime on here.

But curses! You saw my cunning plan to sneak in a Trek name!

So here's some SW ones to make up for it:

JarJarWasRight?
Nien Numbnuts??
George Lucas' twin chins???

Heh. Y'know, in SWTOR, on Hutta, there's a pair of NPCs - a Rodian named Greepo and he's sitting on the other side of a table from a human named Hun Duo...

Not entirely... I've been thinking that one of the robots would be the 'Light Side' (noble, respectful, courageous, protective of others, etc.) while the other would be the 'Dark Side' (Greedy, sarcastic, quick to the attack, and so forth), but that's as far as I've really gotten in characterization.

Do you care if they match?

I don't know, actually...

Ok ok something sensible at last.

2 bots who combine to form a single spaceship alt. Got it.

Slashdash: a hotshot pilot who races into action, shoots from the hip and lives for excitement. He forms the front half with the cockpit and controls the flight.

Nonfiction: a level headed not who keeps his partner in check. He's more cautious and straight-laced and is an intellectual. He forms the engines and controls the weapons.

Their combined form: SlashFiction.
Aw crap we're back to Trek aren't we?
