Hugo



Designation: Set  12, Hugo
Model: AL - 122611
SeriesSadayuki
TypeAutonomous Logistical, 
Description: Bipedal humanoid, medium frame, composite construction. Second generation RAIMIGM (remote adaptive individually modified intelligence generating matrix). Powered by four rectenna (rectifying antenna) panels, independently mounted, requiring a C-Brown series phased array microwave transmitter. Reversed polarity  dermal sensor array.
Notes: Hugo is a combat training model, capable of emulating most known ground-based bipedal AT units.

Mindy



Designation: Set 12, Mindy
Model: SAT - 122311
SeriesKatsukuni
Type: Special Autonomous Tactical
Description: Biomimetic humanoid, combat type R. Empathic weapon to optical relay targeting system optimized for close range precision. Plenoptic microlens optical array. J-Woo target awareness system.
Notes: Conventional targeting relies on optical sensors to focus on potential targets, relaying that visual information to arm or weapon mount controls to direct firing patterns. Mindy uses light-field gathering technology to generate real-time target awareness planes which allows her weapon control features to operate independently of her primary computational functions, enabling her to flow seamlessly between targeting and damage avoidance.

Ian




Designation: Set 12, Ian
Model: AT - 122111
SeriesSuketaka
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Small frame non-humanoid biped. Four independently triggered medium range directed-energy weapon modules with phased array bloom reduction. Devoted external weapons system power package. Standard optical array comprised of two condensed lens senors. 
Notes: Satisfying the energy needs of effective laser weaponry with independent power supplies requires a delicate balance of conservation. Ian prolongs his limited battery life by carefully managing the individual firing capabilities of his weapons package. For light, unarmored targets only a short burst from a single module is sufficient. For more resilient enemies, all four cannons may be necessary to achieve the desired results. In either case, it is his adroit calculations of enemy weaknesses that allow him to employ the minimum amount of firepower to cause the required amount impairment.

Ruth



Designation: Set 12, Ruth
Model: SAL - 121111
SeriesSukekuni
Type: Special Autonomous Logistical
Description: Dorsal mounted universal Lenticular Reentry Vehicle coupling. Clumped booster base module. Shielded cranial covering. Boost assisted extended manipulators.
Notes: Intended as little more than an autonomous deep space tug, Ruth has shown promise as a short range salvage vessel.

Blake



Designation: Set 12, Blake
Model: AL - 121111
SeriesSukesada
Type: Autonomous Logistical
Description: Large frame bipedal humanoid. Titanium alloy frame, with carbon fiber exterior paneling. Dedicated high-touch management software, optimized for large scale operational parameters. Integrated wireless and microwave transceivers with modulated Xǐ Năo passive cognitive appropriation capabilities.  
Notes: Built more like a Tactical unit than what would normally be perceived as a management level automaton, Blake nonetheless excedes at organizing large scale operations. While not a true hive-mind, he can take over and control up to twelve individual units simultaneously. Between his size and the Xǐ Năo module, their willingness to cooperate, either physically or mentally, is purely academic

Kevin



Designation: Set 12, Kevin
Model: ACS - 120711
Series: Kunihira
Type: Autonomous Civil Service
Description: Heavy frame bipedal humanoid. Bronze plated exterior paneling. Reinforced independent joint structures. Core mounted multiphasic electromagnetic kinetic amplifier.
Notes: Standing at an impressive three and a half meters, and endowed with an impressive kinetic amplifier, Kevin seems the obvious choice for shock and awe crowd management.

Ross

(enlarged to show detail)

Designation: Set 12, Ross
Model: AC - 120411
Series: Masayoshi
Type: Special Autonomous Tactical
Description: Small frame insectile type. Dual high-speed fixed-pitch rotary propellers, mounted on independently actuated fully articulated struts. Nano-carbon injector with a high-density hydrofluoric penetration feature. Integrated reservoir capable of carrying 5 microliters of Plasmodium type nanosites.   
Notes: Success during a combative engagement is not simply a matter of causing a greater margin of causalities amongst the enemy forces. That is not to say that victory cannot be obtained by the ultimate achievement of such a goal, but rather that there are more effective methods that the direct pursuit of immediate fatalities. Due in large part to his small size, Ross is capable of infiltrating and infecting oppositional forces with specialized nanosites designed to disrupt biological and biomimetic neural functions. Depending on the specific payload, these microscopic machines can cause blind impulsive aggression, immediate short term memory loss, loss of sensory perception, and spontaneous aphasia.
