For those interested (or if you didn't already know), Motored Cuirassier ISN'T just some meaningless word salad that someone thought sounded cool; it's actually surprisingly accurate. A cuirassier is a type of cavalryman first appearing in the 15th century (but they didn't really become cuirassiers in the modern sense until the later 17th century) noted for wearing a cuirass, which is a specific type of breastplate primarily made from a single piece of steel (though variations exist). Motored, on the other hand, is a relatively old and obscure adjective that just means something has a motor.

In other words, Saber is most definitely a motored cuirassier. Just a fun bit of trivia I figured others might find interesting.
