Comment on Calling all Otaku! Help me find a License Plate Number

Alright, I did some Googling and asked ChatGPT for some help (this is really what stuff like ChatGPT is good for, not stealing art and writing bad novels). And even though ChatGPT was a f*cking moron initially suggesting things like NCC-1701 even though I specifically said it had to be XX-##, it finally came up with a decent list:

MC-75 : The Mon Calimari Cruiser from Star Wars (There are also other MC cruisers like MC30, MC40, MC80, MC85, and MC95) EF76 : Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, also from Star Wars YF-19 : Prototype Macross fighter YF-21 : Macross Plus fighter VF-25 : Macross Frontier fighter

A somewhat unique (albeit wrong) suggestion ChatGPT gave was BT-7274 from Titanfall 2… you could shorten it to BT-72. Following on the idea of droids I got:

HK-47 : The loveable and homicidal assassination droid from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. IG-11 : Another Assassin droid, tasked with killing Grogu in Mandalorian.

Finally, one silly recommendation ChatGPT gave me was “SG-88” as a reference to Stargate and Back to the Future. I don’t hate it.

Nah man! The MC-75 is a trap. ;)

HK-47 and IG-11 were in my initial search. I didn’t search for the Nebulon B, but who wants to be in a medial ship. Seems almost as bad an omen as the Mon Cal Corvette.

So far I think I’ll stay with the VF-25 from Macross and blast Diamond Crevasse on full blast as the first song. I’ll have to look up a replica of Sheryl’s earring to have it dangling from the rearview mirror. Just to keep in theme.
