Rutherford

Designation: Set  03, Rutherford

Model: AT - 031512

Series: Norihiro

Type: Autonomous Tactical

Description: Non-humanoid automaton flying weapons platform. Zulu-1964 tri-barrel 20mm Gatling gun. Pratorum fight package. 

Notes: According to known technologies and the current understanding of aerodynamics, it is quite impossible for Rutherford to fly. Unexplainably, this does not seem to affect him.

Svetlana

Designation: Set 3, Svetlana

Model: ASW - 031211

Series: Kuniharu

Type: Automaton Specific Weapon

Description: 

Notes: 

Celeste

Designation: Set  03, Celeste

Model: SAS - 031112

Series: Mitsumasa

Type: Special Autonomous Support

Description: Bipedal non-humanoid heavy frame. 

Notes: 

Giovanni

Designation: Set  02, Giovanni

Model: AS - 030912

Series: Kuniyuki

Type: Autonomous Support

Description: Bipedal non-humanoid heavy frame. 200 kilowatt, 25 year liquid lithium-6 micro reactor. Twin rear mounted wide array multiphasic Teslonic 5.8-GHz rectenna panels. 

Notes: Giovanni was commissioned to provide mobile power to remote deep-space mining units. After several incidents involving sudden, violent, and often destructive power surges, he was appropriated by the military. 

“We build but to tear down. Most of our work and resource is squandered. Our onward march is marked by devastation. Everywhere there is an appalling loss of time, effort and life. A cheerless view, but true.”

- Nikola Tesla
, “What Science May Achieve This Year” (Denver Rocky Mountain News, January 16th, 1910)

Bucky

Designation: Set  02, Bucky 

Model: At - 030712

Series: Yoshiyuki

Type: Autonomous Tactical

Description: Medium frame bipedal humanoid tactical unit. K_u-band satellite data link. UHMW ballistic armor encasement, with reinforced chest plate. Cullum-87 type combat specific tactical computer. 

Notes: What makes the perfect soldier? In automatonics this is often more of a practical question rather than a philosophical one. If the answer is a low budget intrepid fighter willing to go far beyond the call of initial programming, then Bucky is indeed perfect.

Franklin

Designation: Set  02, Franklin 

Model: AS - 030512

Series: Shigeyuki

Type: Autonomous Support

Description: Medium frame bipedal tactical support unit. Twin four prong manipulator claws. Single free-range direct focus optical globe. Lightweight polymer carbon composite construction. Receives power via dual Teslonic PAMTs (Phased Array Microwave Transmitter).

Notes: 

Bret

Designation: Set  02, Bret 

Model: AS - 030112

Series: Masayuki

Type: Autonomous Tactical

Description: Hexapodal micro-frame, powered by residual energy from any proximal Teslonic transmitter.  

Notes: The problem with Bret is that he is often underfoot and as a result is routinely damaged, often irreparably, by larger units. Given his reputation for obsessive performance analysis, it is possible such occurrences are not accidental.
