super robots with funny german names

the one above is named "Alteisen" what means "scrap metal" in german.

i am sure that meaning was not intended by the robots name inventor, it sounds more like a textbook translation from someone not familiar with the german language at all but decided that the name sounds good to him.

and there are more of them funny names.

my favourite name is a robot called "Einst Knochen" what loosly translates to "once a bone" and he has a weapon called "Offen Haar" translating to "open hair"!

i still try to figure out what that weapon might do...

here you can have fun with all those strange names and weapons descriptions.

all these super robots are from the japanese SUPER ROBOT WARS universe of animes, computer games and toys. here is the official page of the super robot wars but its japanese language only.
