Automation Queen? Why?

[Vidu]

Queen's the best chess piece.

Pretty much this - considering that the two turrets the maschinst already has are named after chess pieces, its safe to assume that the same holds true for the robot, being name after another chess piece, the Queen. Has nothing to do with gender or crossdressing or robots being female. Just a chess refrence.

...and do we even know yet if there wont be a King in some capacity aswell?

How do we know its called 'Queen' in the first place?

Dunno if I should take the thread seriously or not.

I'll take a leap of faith and say nope.

But now you can shout "Yas Queen!" every time you summon it.

I would assume the "King" in Machinists kit is the Machinist itself. It's the "leader" piece, after all, and you lose if it's taken, much like you lose if you're KO'd.

Must say, I actually really enjoy this nomenclature. Works even better when you consider that the "Queen" seems to be doing both direct damage and AoE damage; Much like how the Queen in Chess combines the Rook and Bishop move sets.

It's a chess thing, continuing on from the Rook and Bishop turrets...

SE can call it whatever they want. Nothing will stop me from making the macro "Boooooob, do something!"

Why RP with a robot as your faithful gay bro companion, when you can do it with a Roe or Hroth? ;-)
