The Book of Superman/Batman Robot

[IAmBatman]

Heroclix has it down as Batman/Superman Robot as well, so that (sans "Composite") seems to be the most prevalent way to reference it. There's no uses of the title in the text, so that won't be an issue, at least. I'll update the name of the unit and thread to Batman/Superman Robot.

Do we want to use vehicle consistently instead of figure? The special attack references "figure" right now.

Should be Superman/Batman, as we discussed on the first page, most of the source material and information puts Supes first. Batman is really just first on the Clix.

I think both "figure" and "vehicle" are technically correct, so we just need to decide what's consistent on vehicles referencing themselves going forward.

I'd love to have it's name be the full "Composite Superman/Batman Robot" if possible, but I get the spacing being tough.

Yeah, that's what I updated with. Apologies for not going back and editing that into my post.

I'll have to take a look in a bit.

Is the Composite naming the most accurate naming?

It's obviously a reference to Composite Superman so like, calling it 'Composite Superman/Batman Robot' seems accurate.

But that would be tricky to fit on the card.

On the vehicle v. figure front:

Only says "this vehicle": The Batmobile
Only says "figure": Leopardon (though that's because it wants to refer to "figures" for leaving engagement purposes
Only refers to itself by full name: Elevator Car, TARDIS, Sports Car, Spider-Mobile
Only refers to itself by a shortened name (tsk tsk): Gundam Ez8 (never establishes the Gundam Ez8 name in text), RX-78-2 Gundam (only referred to as "the Gundam")

I don't think either is "wrong." The strongest precedent is full name, but that's zany here. I'd argue for going all in on "vehicle."

Looks like a lot of inconsistency with Gundam text.

If none of the text uses the full name, but just goes "this vehicle," would the full name fit as the card title?

I was talking exclusively about fitting the full name in the top box, not about the power text.

[LordVenoc]

Yeah its never really referred to as the "Composite Superman/Batman Robot" really, so I don't see the need to make it work. Especially since that would make it seem like it was intentionally modeled after a villain, which is also weird.

I mean I thought it was created by Toyman as a problem and then it was repurposed to save the earth or something like that. Or does Toyman just use it later?

[LordVenoc]

Nope. Toyman built it to destroy the meteors coming at Earth. Specifically Hiro Okamura, the heroic Toyman. Only appears just for that.
