Very cool.
As for a name, What's in a name?
Some famous warmachines don't have names, or if their is one, few people
know it. Case in point: F-117. Sometime just giving something a number
designation is all it needs. Or you could look at the number and gleen
something from that. SP-44A, well, that could be anything really. Remember
what Dirty Harry said: "The 44 Magnum is the most powerful handgun in the world"
Thus you look at the 44 in SP-44A and think, hmmm that's a really big gun!
Or you could just call it bob.
