Informal names for the Descent Robots

Post by sdfgeoff »

Well here's mine:

Descent 1:
Medium Lifter:
Shield powerups (that home in on you)

Class 1 driller:
Ouch = homer

Descent 2:
Internal Tactical Droid:
'Come here you pesky little thing' (Or harsher)

Thief bot:
Who's vacuuming up my powerups? = chase through mine
(Or on the 'Thick as thieves' level: ARRRGH, now I'm on class 1 lasers again...)

Diamond Claw:
Armour that shoots back (and homes)? What is this?!

Descent 3:
That one in level 13:
TRAITOR TO ROBOT KIND

Police bot:
I wish I had anti-napalm to make you freeze!

Tubs:
Don't you dare touch the paintjob on my ship.

Add more:
Eh?

Power in purple
I should fly away, time for

Come here and stay still
You are far, far too good at
Self preservation

Thresher:
Got to be kidding
Fusion bot fast as a hawk
What were they thinking?

Heavy Driller:
Plasma ow oh my
I have no shields, I will run
Not fast enough *dies*

Energy Thief:
You swarm and drain my
Power like leeches and you
Will not fall for tricks

Old Scratch:
So many in swarms
Attacking me like zombies
Fodder for fusion
Ship's cat, MPSV Iberia: beware of cat.

Insanely fast, insanely durable, insanely small.

There was that bot in level 1 of Legacy of Evil that I named like that because I couldn't find its actual name (because I couldn't see what it looked like...)
Cloaked Aaargh was a pretty good name for that bot anyway though.

I'd call the Diamond Claw in D2 "The Chalkboard Death Scratcher" because of that irritating sound you hear when he attacks.
Cat (n.) A bipolar creature which would as soon gouge your eyes out as it would cuddle.

Yeah? Whoskyd simply makes a chomping sound.

Why does a robot make a chomping sound, anyway?? :?

After all, how do you think D2's first boss got so red and fat in the first place?
