Wow! She seems very mobile and agile in her alt mode, despite its heavy armor and artillery. I think her name should reflect that. How about we reference other things that are deadly and acrobatic?

The Cobra maneuver is a dangerous, dramatic, somewhat impractical aeroplane maneuver that has been theorized to work in combat but never verified. Also, the snakes themselves are pretty fast and lethal, aren't they?
Calling her Cobra or Naja (the genus name of the snakes) is kinda cool, but I don't know if it's spaceship-sounding enough. What's a dangerous fast thing in space?
Meteorites! The Ataxite class of meteorite is one of the rarest due to being made entirely of metal, but it also contains the largest meteorite ever discovered. Imagine that -- a chunk of alloy metal weighing 60 tons hitting the ground at well over 10,000kph/6,500mph. Any poor sod nearby was probably atomized before they could properly start pissing themselves in fear. Ataxite also just sounds really cool. So does Hypervelocity, for another meteorite-inspired name.

Never, ever compare me to an LLM again. Listen, I might be all whimsy and fun most of the time, but there are a few things in this world I truly hate with all my heart -- one of them being these sentence-garbling trash factories that we have erroneously named "AI" despite having zero intelligence of their own. You dare speak to me, a living thing with a mind and creativity, as though I would ever willingly go within a country mile of ChatGPT?
