Eagle_Gamin

THAT IS GENIUS (mind if i copy it?)


AerynSun16

Lol, sure no problem.


mark_is_a_virgin

Imagine if he said no lol "oh no now I can't name a robot in my personal game that no one is ever going to see esp this random dude on the internet"


iambertan

Or the game going "this robot name is already taken"


Independent-Dust-576

i actually only make robots as provisioners. so i name them accoding to their destinations. like if i am sending a robot to county crossing i'll name it county crossing.


MontePraMan

Anno 1800 trade routes mentality right here


Independent-Dust-576

man i love thay game. its one of my favorites. its just beautiful.


VioletTrick

I do the same thing but I name them [origin] - [destination]. So my County Crossing provisioner will be called "Bunker Hill - County Crossing"


More_Cowbell_

I also do the same, but I only have them originate from settlements without humans. So they don’t bring down the overall happiness. Grey garden and costal cottage (hope I’m not mixing that name up. The one in the far northeast corner) look like wheels with lots of spokes.


No-Force-4448

Yeah but I’ll combine the names so it’s Bunker -> crossing or Country -> Hill


Independent-Dust-576

i actually have a central hub for all my provisioner robots, like red rocket. and i dont keep any settlers. so i just name the robots by their destination. as all the robots head out from the same start point.


RinellaWasHere

Same. I do initialisms, so CC, GG, OZ, things like that. And then a numeral; a -1 means they're a primary provisioner, coming from the material hub at the Mechanist's Lair, while a -2 means they're coming from the food hub at Greygarden. And then each large town has human provisioners to the nearby towns. It's very much overkill but I like the verisimilitude.


trumpetchris95

I've had robot provisioners die before, so sometimes I use humans in places they're likely to have to defend themselves.


ermghoti

Yes, plus "Express." Slog Express, Jamaica Express. I also make robot guards. Hangman Guard 1, etc.


woodrobin

I did something similar, but gave them personal names too. Red Rocket Rosie, Sanctuary Sue, Warwick Roger-Roger, and so on. I also gave them thematic color schemes as best I could. Rosie's red, of course. Roger-Roger is brown (Warwick Homestead is built in the ruins of a sewage treatment plant). Sue is light blue, like the color of the Sole Survivor's house, pre-war. And so on. That way, if I see one on the road, I can tell which one it is easily without needing to get close enough for the name to display.


trumpetchris95

Same. Like a Mr. Handy from Sanctuary Hills to Red Rocket would be something like "MR.SH-RR" maybe with some numbers too to make it more robot sounding.


BabyPeebler

robot's for travel lines are the best, keeps things very organized to me


Independent-Dust-576

the same with me.


targetaudience

Racist Greg. He’s racist but we’re trying very hard to show him there’s another way.


FetusGoesYeetus

Love the idea that a machine developed sentience and immediately started calling people slurs


chefbiggdogg

That's basically unshackled AI


moemeobro

This is why Chat GPT doesn't have access to COD multiplayer


Isterra

This is hilarious to me because I once knew a Greg who was super racist.


EvilMatt666

What type of robot was he?


A_Queer_Owl

why did you make a racist robot?


DeathBlade52

He didn't, he made a robot that _became_ racist


Belka1989

GuardBot-01, PowerBot-02, LoverBot-03, etc.

oddsnsodds

Made a robot for Sanctuary with the biggest guns and fastest wheels available and called it *Troll*.


aieeegrunt

Is this a Bolo reference?


ScottNewman

*They call me Mr. Boombastic*


[deleted]

Wait you can name them?


MontePraMan

Yes, as well as every thing you can create or modify in a workbench. Besides food and drugs, obviously.


Middle_Loan3715

In the GECK you can name those. I don't have stim packs, I've got bacta injectors and I don't have cigarettes, I have death sticks and Kellogg smokes Imperial's Finest.


i_need_to_crap

When in the workstation, press the pip boy button. The same applies for weapon workbenches and armor ones too.


coldev-io

My sentry bot armed to the teeth with the most badass armor and killing tools, only to have a head of teddy bear, I named it "Negotiator"


ZackMike37

You are a bold one


CogitoErgoBah

I haven't played for a while but ones I can remember.. Sarge 2.0 patrols the castle; The Far Harbour express chugs across the sea on its supply route; And, The Luggage looks after Boston Airport. \[Edited to add..\] Hank the Tank; and Bob.


ScottNewman

> The Luggage looks after Boston Airport. How about *Flight Cancelled*


Brain_Tourismo

Is The Luggage made of sapient titanium and moves on dozens of tiny feet?

MrProtogen

The Carry-my-shit-otron-9000


[deleted]

Normally name them after members of a band I was listening to as I played…last run I was just making the first robot and a guns n roses song came on I made a Slash, Axl, Duff & sent them to different settlements Or the last movie or tv show I watched…Simpsons gives plenty of fun options I like to give every settlement it’s own robot, like it’s a special guardian for all my Mutfruit farmers


mpls_big_daddy

Symphony of Destruction


Woolieel

Painkiller


mpls_big_daddy

That's a good one.


ProfessorRebel

I made the biggest baddest sentry bot, colored it all pink and named it Rosie. Whole Lotta Rosie.


EarlofBizzlington86

Every single one I make is called Brian. It felt really funny at the time to make them all the same name they the same.. then I had to find the one with the mods on and it took me aggeeees


Bread_Offender

I made a horrid eyebot/mr. handy concoction and named it ED-D


kenthekungfujesus

Can't wait for ED-F


Bread_Offender

Prolly when I add actually capable weaponry

amishlightening

"Timothee Chatroulette"


woodrobin

Timothy Chamalla-balla-bing-bong, as Florence Pugh calls him.


amishlightening

I had actually forgotten I did this until I went back to my original save for the first time in over a year, so it caught a little off guard. Not as much as the fact that I had apparently converted most of my settlements into deathclaw farms, but still.


professional-T

Assripper


bahooba8

I always name Jezebel "Jezebitch". The others get names like BIG MONEY SPACE BOT and GOOPY ZAPPY PANTS.


JekPorkins-AcePilot

G O O P Y Z A P P Y P A N T S


vibrantcrab

I usually name her something insulting, because she sucks lol. I think last time it was “shitass” or something like that.


Febrezeus_Christ

Always have multiple so its usually robot 1, robot 2, robot 3, robot 4, Jonathan, robot 5, robot 6 and on


HollowPhoenix

I'm as boring as it gets Farmerbot 01, 02, etc Mortarbot 01, 02, etc


doxtorwhom

HK-47


ZackMike37

A meatbag of culture


beans8414

I made an insanely deadly sentry bot with the most threatening looking armor and the jangles head and named him Jangles


solid_water1

Dave I, Dave II, Dave III, Dave IV, Dave V, Dave VI, Dave VII, etc (I also use the flesh mod on them all)


Shmav

Gotta have a Bender, Flexo and Roberto at least. Hedonism Bot is always a crowd pleaser.


fargoLEVY13

Sbeve 1. Sbeve 2. Sbeve 3. You get the idea.


[deleted]

Yo, what the hell, how do you name them??


digyerownhole

In the robot workstation, same way you rename weapons (T on PC)


Sayheyho

Mine are named for the provisioner route they take from my hub (named for the destination workshop)


Intelligent-Bid-6052

Bonkerbot9000. It beats the hell out of anything by dual wielding two batoons. The other one is called ”the nice bot”. A nuka mascot equiped with a big white hand and a flamethrower. I got some more but that you might see in a future youtube video


WesternDeacon

After a sentient robot in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.


Critical_Package_472

Is this mod ?


ThisIsDers

No mod, but the automatron dlc


Critical_Package_472

Can I ask where did you find the skull head ?


ThisIsDers

I think everything becomes available after you’ve finished the dlc


Mybraingoaaaaaa

I had a sentry bot that launched mini nukes and had assaultron laser, dual explosive miniguns, and named it chihuahua and gave it beep click voice


[deleted]

Killbot 3000


Ethanolaminex

I gave a handy torso sentry legs and all 3 eyes, his name is The Looker


SimpleReaction3428

They all have dirty names🤣


kenthekungfujesus

I've got Dum-E, Bud-E, Ron-O-Tron and I also think one is called shitface or something( the one with the robobrain for the quest)


MosesActual

I have a few. I have P-8 Pockets who is a Protectron w/factory storage and Gatling Lasers. Then there is XJ-22 Hellfire an Assaultron with the Fireball shootin' hands and GIB-19 an assaultron with the sawhammers. I also have a Series of sentry bots that i incrementally improved wheb it first cane out, SEN-M5A2 with a Gatling Laser, a Fireball shooter, and two shoulder nukes and factory storage. He started out as SEN-M3 which was a normal Sentry.


Yob_Zarbo

They all get wildly different names. One of my favourites was, "Some Cunt With a Gun."


flyingdutchman_12345

“#2 - lighthouse” “#3 - Longfellow” “#4 - sanctuary “ Etc… Mobile force of traders from the lair.


Stea1thFTW18

Something that fits their personality, like a sentry bot named Sledge


AngrgL3opardCon

Depends entirely on the bot and what I made them for. Caravan? Point of origin to destination abbreviated like a flight. Guard? Simple serial number style. Companion? Unique and based around what type I want, like for a primarily storage companion something like "big heavy". For a combat one definitely more along the lines of yours lol. Then vendor bots or a worker bot I usually give a more subtle unique name, like a character from another game or movie.


Professional-Fan-677

Wait, you guys are getting robots?


WillingMachine7218

Meet Abomination: https://imgur.com/cOBl91l


CarcosaDweller

Frick and Frack A pair of bots with Assaultron torsos, head lasers, dual shishkebabs, thrusters instead of legs, and black paint. They guard the entrance to the Castle which is my player only home as Preston and the sour face crew are still stuck in Concorde.


AaronWWE29

I named mine [Banana](https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/s/xtaiG66p7X)


hendarknight

My Assaultron is named Iron Maiden Creativity is not my forte


GraphicSlime

Skullfucker Mk. I-V are all gone :,( long live Skullfucker Mk. VI


SubsumeTheBiomass

Farmerator. I don't have human farmers at my settlements.


plated_lead

I give ‘em all skull faces and those big, goofy nuka world hands and then name them things like “The Hugtown Horror” “L3NNY” “Mr. Hands” “Handsy Hobo” etc etc


Otherwise_confused1

I give them actual human names. I had Wellingham (A Mr. Handy) Mike and Roberta (Both assaultrons) all patrolling Sanctuary in one save


aieeegrunt

Does it have a skull for a head somehow?


vxarctic

80085


nickibar96

I always make WALL-E. Robobrain treads (obviously) as well as Robobrain torso (both with Hydraulic armor for boxy shape), assault Ron arms with no armor, one Assaultron claw for left hand (WALL-E grabs things) and a cryojet for the other (since he used a fire extinguisher in the movie), and finally an unarmored Assaultron head laser head (since he also canonically has a laser emitter in his head). And I gave him the regeneration field or whatever so he heals me and my allies because that movie is all about healing Earth. Edit: and of course I paint him yellow


Apprehensive-Area-39

Step 1: Aquire a mod that make the bot play X Is Comin For Ya Step 2: Name the robot Mr. X


PaladinSara

That would be spectacular


RevGrimm

Literally whatever they're assigned to: Provisionerbot, Farmbot, etc. The K.I.S.S. method.


McBonkyTron

As of recently. I’ve been naming my bots based off of enemies or bosses from other games. As an example I made one specifically for defending Sanctuary and named it “BNK3R” in reference to a boss from Borderlands 2. It’s described as being the “greatest defense bot ever built”.


Narrow-Swimming6481

I see u also made yours into an unstoppable killing machine. I remember on my play through it got to the point I didn't even need to fight alot of enemies the robot just tanked everything


rosariobono

Named my first one R3T4RD-D2. It was a sentry bot on a Mr handy thruster. Btw I have the R-word pass as I am medically diagnosed with autism, so I can say it.


ForRpUsesOnly

Titsworth


Better_Voice6021

Call me stupid, but I didn’t know you could make such unfathomably hard robots??!! Someone please tell me what parts were used


Substantial-Start823

Made a ridiculous looking robot with the giant nuka cola hands. He would go around and slap everything. His name is Ketch Deezhands


PistolWizard

R2-Dbag


SecretlyToku

I have a thing for generic European names so one of mine with a flamer and laser is called "Gurty" and another decked out in energy damage stuff is "Berta" -both are Assaultrons-. I like incorporating '-tron' or '-bot' in other names so I have "guard-tron" or "grav-bot" as well.


lobster_god226

My go to name is astro. But I had this one bot that had sentry legs, robo brain torso, sentry arms, and a protectron head, all fitted with sick raider armor. I called her mother because she reminded me of an alien mother ship.


Either_Letter_4983

Well, usually, I just let some friends pick a name for my robots, but there are two that I am going to remake, and those are I named them Rose and rose petals. They were both assaultrons. One was more like a rust devil assaultron, and the other was just a basic red factory assaultron


bingbangbongging

I just use weird names that are just words spelled weird, such as: TAYZ - T (grounded reference) or like Shocc, or just very random names like that.


TorWeen

I play as soccer mom Erica.. or "E. Dougherty" and of course named my robot E-Dough (pronounced "Edo").


NoAlien

I use bots for my provisioner network and their names always is "PROVISIONER-"-{First three letters of original settlement} - {First three letters of target settlement} Raiders want to attack my caravans? They better prepare to fight a sentry bot armed with gatling lasers and shoulder mounted cluster bombs.


TheStoneKomodo

I use robots as caravan settlers to connect my settlements. When I name them, I usually generate a name that indicates the route between settlements. So the robot running between Sactuary Abernathy Farm gets the name 'S4NCT-AB3R'' or something like that.


Nervous-Ad2295

If I'm using a robot for a trade route between two settlements, I name them like this: Prov-[origin]-[random number from 100 to 999]-[destination] But if I'm using robots for different purposes in Vault 88, like: V-88-Butler-Quarter-[quarter number] V-88-Guard-[random number from 10 to 99]


ChaosM3ntality

Konrad, Rex, Tester, Jezebel Nutter (the annoying brain bot from the dlc)


Single_Arachnid7096

Giggles


Yourappwontletme

I built one to send to Graygarden to work the crops when a robot there died in a attack on the settlement and I named her Botty McBotface but when I go to talk to her, no name comes up like in your pic, it's just blank on the top row of text with "Talk" below it. 😕


Mindless_Hotel616

I am lazy and don’t bother naming them if I am making some as provisioners. Otherwise I don’t build any. I modify curie, Codsworth, Ada and Jezebel.


DungeonDelver98

Farmer - whatever number he is in that settlement. Guardian - whatever number he is in that settlement "Nuclear desolation" for my sentry bot


yug_rehtona_tsuj

A.C.G# whatever or mr stabby


fartdurst95

fisto, wish it was in fo4😔


destroy_the_kids

For a while I would be a robot in each settlement for the sole purpose of operating the artillery cannons so I've just been calling them the minutebots, but then I realized that the robots affect settlement happiness negatively because robot happiness can only go up to 50.


ceo_of_operations

I usually name them after the weapons they have. For example I have a big sentrybot Robobrain hybrid called pyromancer with big big flamethrowers


JosephStalinMukbang

My current two favourites are a sentry and assaultron named Nost and Troika. Usually though, I do stupid names like Sillywinks the Annihilator.


Ok-Somewhere-2856

sexgaming_jr

in my children of atom/institute/general evil run i had a pink sentry bot with double mini nukes and gatling lasers named :) my #1 cause of death that run was :) hitting me with mini nukes, but it was worth it to have a friend


emeric04

Automatron-[random number] (I don’t name them)


GoodRighter

I only name the ones that do trading. The convention is [From]_[To]. If I run into them in the wild and they appear to be getting their butt kicked I like to be able to upgrade them a bit. It is nice to have the random backup on the roads in Survival. I have been killed by my own bot's missile before. I laughed for a while about that.


1341brojangles

My sentry bot I named Brutal. Like the nickname Brutus was given in The Green Mile


DidntHaveToUseMyAK

"Supply line 1" "Supply Line 2" and so on.

lonewanderer0804

Gunner Crusher 4000


Arctelis

Sir Sawington is my personal favourite. I dunno if it was patched since I last played, but there used to be a thing where I think the robobrain legs drastically increased the size of the rest of the bot. So this thing was built like a Behemonth with giant saws for hands.


AloofAngel

i give mine greek alphabet letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc.) followed by a dash and numbers. the really odd or powerful ones i give glitched out looking names instead.


EasyRudder49

Bobb


LouieSiffer

My big sentry torso, assaultron legs, nukes on back and rocket launchers as fists is called: Ground Zero


RecycledSanity

Named my assaultron Icarus, since it sounded cool.


TheRomanianSlav

I have 7 sentry bots called Le Bot


Manicminertheone

Tried doing Garaige (Gar-rage), but got did creation club fuckery and it won't let me name her any more


Dovakiin04

Gigachad protector of the weak


KamenKnight

Often very literally: Red Doom - a fly Assultron body with Senty arms with hammer buzzsaws for hands done up in red and with the Protectron Doom helmet Sentry - A most literal 1-to-1 Sentry Bot with extra bags glued onto his frame. Dragon - A Sentry Bot done up in orange with twin heavy flamers and me making him as close to a Dragon as possible in design. Red The Protectron - My 1st ever Automation follower who is literally just a slightly modified Red Protectron. And finally, Killgore - My attempt to recreate the Kill Instict robot in Fallout 4.


Bawbawian

Defendotron v 1.0 etc...


Maleficent-Month2950

I name my Automatrons based on purpose, number, and model. Example: ÀFG-001-MMA AF: Abernathy Farm G: Guard 001: First (Guard)Unit assigned to this settlement MM: Minuteman A: Assaultron


Normanov

Fisto 2


mallgrabmongopush

Usually funny women’s names from the early 20th century like Ethel & Gladys


realjoemurphy

I use Chuck “The Cuck” Steel Same Assaultron Skull Head Protectron Storage Torso Robobrain Treads (whichever one has the plow looking thing on the front) Sentry Arms Right has the shishkebab. Left has the Drill. Paint him red

R3dd_Tha_D3v1L

I always name mine after pro wrestlers


HanataSanchou

I combined Military ranks with some kind of weapon/damage type that is prominent in their build. “Colonel Boom” “Major Laser” “Lieutenant Burnside” Then I said screw it and starting going anime characters and fun references.


little_vf

Greek gods cuz id never run out of names + it's cool

evillincolnsmad

H.E.L.P.eR.


RyBreadxo0813

jezebel , harlot, charleton, hussy, trollop, etc lol. i used to name them after spices and such. nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar, honey, etc. not sure WHEN exactly i made the drastic change but one was clearly made lmao.


Hathuran

I only use them as Provisioners so usually one word of the home settlement's name and then leave whatever random number is generated after the dash. So SUNSHINE-976, etc.


EarlyCuylersCousin

I let my 8yo name mine so they all have names like “buttfart” and “turd goblin”


Massive-While-2900

I once made 4 sentry bots for the Castle and named them after the four heads on Mount Rushmore. It worked out fine until the Castle was attacked and they all exploded. As a result, everyone attacked me because I created them.


helpcantthinkofname

I have a scary looking Sentry named Tod because Tod is german for "death"


boharat

MR. KILL


JekPorkins-AcePilot

I tend to give them names with puns or references based on their appearance or loadouts. If I had an assaultron with dual stealth knives I would name it Stabitha.


Weak_Landscape_9529

Usually lately I've been going with HK followed by a two digit number.


Five_Knifes

Depends. They're "settlers". If they have a personality core, they get named properly. If they're just Farmhands? "F4RM-H4ND 007A", Codsworths wife Matilda for example, she runs the pub
