But as you know it is named after his creator, Albert.
Topic officially derailed.
The name "Model Albert" comes from Albert's backup plan, that is the data within the ciphers, not the Biometal's identity or combat abilities. Model A cannot contain Albert's consciousness if Albert's consciousness is still in his own body. Model A bears no resemblance to Albert in either personality or abilities, with the sole exception of A-Trans (Homing Shot doesn't count; Albert only uses it in his final form, when he has abilities from all 6 of Ciel's Biometals). Albert, probably due to lacking his own combat abilities, relies on either Model A or Model W to supply him with data for A-Trans. Model A can acquire and copy data on its own.
There is every reason to believe that Albert considers the Biometal's consciousness to be irrelevant. Look at what happened to the Small Four. All have red-eyes, all override the wills of their respective Biometals with their own, as Model X mentions. Grey, when awakening, briefly showed red eyes before they went green, and Pandora explains that Grey's mind control was incomplete. Notice also there are four broken capsules in the room where Grey awakens.
For many obvious reasons, Model A is clearly designed after Axl. Dual pistols, screen-wide rapid fire Giga Attack, copy ability, child-like personality, somewhat selfish/cowardice at first but becomes brave and a little trigger-happy when given an appropriate role-model to follow, obvious likeness to Axl's helmet in the Biometal fragment, less obvious but equally valid likeness in the armor. Any of those may be dismissed if they were alone, but all together?
