The original Rex eventually ends up sacrificing himself. To honor him, Robot/Rudy takes on his name.

I honestly wished he kept his name as Rudy. I get that he’s a sociopath who doesn’t understand why it’s weird, but just from a reader’s perspective it was always confusing to me. Especially when discussing with someone who hasn't gotten to that part of the story

The oddest part is that instead of someone telling him "yeah this is really fucked up actually. Even looking at the clone body you made out of taking his blood non-consensually is weird enough, just go back to calling yourself Rudy" (which is something all of them are thinking) they just call him Rex.

Rudy did it because he noticed Monster Girl found Rex attractive, too. Everyone let that go way too easily.
