The name 'Trencher' is likely a reference to the “trench gun” style of weapon used in WW1 and WW2.
The variant called the Transtar Trencher is a nod to
TranStar
, a megacorporation in
Prey
, another game by Arkane Studios. The gun's exterior and colors strongly resemble the helmet worn by the protagonist, Morgan Yu. The shells spray pattern, when Transtar Trencher is fired at the solid surface, resembles the shape of a
Mimic
, a minor antagonistic creature from the same game.
