what does GORT stand for?
There was a model kit company called Gort. They made a Predator 1 and Predator 2 model kit in 1/7 scale resin.
Here is the P1 kit.

The Predator 1 kit came with an optional mask like the one the Guardian comes with.

I think that's how the Gort (Guardian) Predator got his original fan name.
Here's the P2 which came with nearly all of the Lost Pred bios.

BTW, these aren't my paint jobs. These are just Google Image finds.
The name Gort comes from the original The Day the Earth Stood Still.

He was a big robot that guarded the ship. And that brings us all the way back to "Guardian". Huh-
