DANGER! DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!

According to Wikipedia, the full designation of the Robot from Lost In Space is the B-9, Class M-3 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot.

How in the name of everything did they resist the temptation to dub the thing "G.U.N.Th.E.R."?

This is now Troped, of course.

G.U.N.Th.E.C.R? or is it environmental-control?

The "C" is silent (or you just drop it from the name). I've seen more egregious things done in the name of a good acronym, even in the real world.
