Default Will Moon Robot Fly?

Okay, it's flags and footprints again, but this time they are robot
footprints:

It looks a lot like 1A, the robot that taught "Magnus, Robot Fighter" to
kill evil robots with a karate chop to their naughty steel
necks..."SQUE-E-E-E-E!"*:

This thing needs a name; but naming it 1A would make it sound like it's
a piece of USDA certified meat, and whatever else it is, it's not meat.
(...not yet at least; the Cylon skin jobs are still in the future...)
Anyway, it needs some catchy moniker to go by, and I think "Looner
Loopy" might just fit the bill.

* Sound a robot would make when its head was chopped off. Honkers on the
other hand would go "GREEUUNNK!" when Turok and Andar would shoot them
in the neck with poison arrows:

The neck is always anything that is troublesome's vulnerable spot, as
Henry VIII knew.
A Gold Key comic based on the life of Henry VIII ("Henry, Wife Fighter
In The Year 1500 A.D.") would have been a lot of fun, and one can just
imagine Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard going "SQUEERUUNNK!" as their
heads came off. ;-)
