Next thing you know there'll be an authentic steampunk version.
It's got gears! GEARS.

What would this be called, anyway? Tunicpunk?

Eh... I get what you mean, but I think (as an example of many) the whole business of stamping out sword "replicas" of famous swords from fiction establishes a precedent for using the word like that.
Beaten still by relics during pilgrimage, a gajillion splinters from the "one true cross", thousands of "totally authentic" foreskins and knucklebones of every one of Christ's followers.
