Disagree, to me the title implies "Headshots Shouldn't Kill Robots". But whatever, a rename is fine, if you think Cranial Processing Unit is clearer. I don't think it matters very much.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I think I was talking about where the vital parts are, not where it is best to shoot. The latter follows from the former, is all: it's usually best to shoot at vital parts. There is more than one way to interpret Head Shots Kill Robots.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Yeah, but names shouldn't require lateral thinking to understand, unless the trope is actually about that. We have too many pages to require people to try to wrap their heads around a name just for the sake of it.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Okay, perhaps not lateral thinking, but something still indirect. You still have to get to the point of the trope through what is an incidental effect of it, when at lease Cranial Processing Unit tells the point of the trope.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.45 Examples seems rather low to me, one it could be the title is misleading or most works don't go into that much detail. (I am thinking its the former because nearly every Android and Gyroid I can think of is this trope.)

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Considering that it was even (7/7) when the misuse was brought up I would say its a yes.
(I called for the crowner to be thrown out thanks to not all the info and edit wars but meh)
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Pfft, now it's just under 66% "for"! That's, like, a whole percentage point away from *really* being a 2/3rds majority!
... Yeah, I've got nothing.
Curse you, Trope Repair Shop!
But, hey, I'm all for the crowner getting thrown out. ![]()
Maybe if we didn't have DQZ editing the "cons" to make them sound less convincing than they really could be, or deleting them outright for periods of time, there would be more "against" votes.

Headdrive Crash?
I mean computers cannot function without a hard drive and it makes a nice pun on how head crash
will render a hard drive unusable.
Failing that, why not keep the old Head Shots Kill Robots title?
I believe Cranial Processing Unit had the lead before the crowner was switched.
Fight smart, not fair.Sure it wasn't just your imagination?
;)
I'm going to nit-pick and point out that it doesn't just have to be ahead tomorrow, but far enough ahead to qualify as something like "consensus". Since, as the rules clearly say, a simple majority is not enough for a rename.
But yes, this is a minor point, since at this time the "pro" side is so far ahead that it's hard to imagine the rename not going through.

Crown Description:

The context is that shooting in the head is the best way to kill them, which is still not what the trope is. That makes them misuses.
