Desecration of a dead language

I can't help but to listen for (and dream about) bacon all. the. time.

It's the part that starts with "Gloria in excelsis lardīs!", of course.

I'm really liking the idea of Legionis Machinae. For both its sound and its meaning.
Machines of the Legion.
It carries a certain gravitas to it.
Though that makes it sound less like a semi-noble (somewhat tyrannical?) band of robots fighting together, and more like an ever advancing hive-mind cult of robots.
But I really like the idea of an ever advancing hive-mind cult of robots.

Latin, the most undead of languages.

But doesn't the word bacon have French and Proto-Germanic roots? Which came after Latin?

Probably!

Well that's probably why he said "in Latin" rather than just saying "bacon".

I can do dirty jokes too...

The word derives originally from the Old High German “bacho”, meaning “buttock”, which in turn derived from the Proto-Germanic “backoz”, meaning “back”. By the 14th century, it found its way into Old French as “bacun”, meaning “back meat”. And by the 16th century, it found its way into Middle English as “bacoun”, which referred to all cured pork, not just the back meat.

Marvelous. Giggles-inducing word-work. Boy, am I purile...

That is where I stopped reading attentively. Thanks for the etymology excursus, though, always a pleasure.
