Yeah, I'm sure that it needs a new name for trademark / copyright reasons, but honestly I love the name Battersea.
Throw a hyphen in there, and get generations worth of time on an epic name.
Bat-Tersea.
Hello DC lawsuit!
Considering that Battersea Power Station was just named after the district of London it's located in, I'm more than confident in saying trademark has nothing to do with it because y'know I'm pretty damn certain you can't trademark a location name that has existed since (checks Wikipedia) Anglo-Saxon times.
It's probably them just thinking 'Oh naming it Battersea would be pretty lazy' yeah it might be but it's also the coolest choice.
But that likely IS the problem. Not that they can't use the name Battersea because it's trademarked, but rather that they want to be able to trademark the name of the pretend robot, but they can't if it's just named after the public-domain-type name of the thing it turns into.
At first glance, I kinda thought of Vigilem. But I guess a real place might not want to be associated with Fort Judas.
