MycoLogical Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hey developers; it's your resident, neighbourhood question every bloody thing guy!What was the meaning being WX and the numbers 78 for WX 78 (I know the W was for the W theme)and where did you get Wickerbottom from? The only other mention of that name I saw was on an episode of The Simpsons. Was that where you got it from?Oh and it's it WX78, WX 78 or WX-78?(No questions about the other names; they're all nice and normal!)

Maximum124 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 On the wiki people say that WX may be named after a gundam WX-78's name may be a reference to the RX-78 series of mobile suits in the Universal Century gundam series. The most notable being the RX-78-2, the main mobile suit of the original gundam series.

Also, I think Wickerbottom was put because it's an odd type of name an old lady would have. I tell you, I'm having trouble trying to find a better alternative that starts with W.

Sporb Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Wickerbottom is a type of chair. I mean, there are wicker bottom chairs. That doesn't seem to have much to do with the character, so I suppose they chose the name because it sounds old fashioned and a bit silly.
