Cecil



Designation: Set  03, Cecil
Model: AT - 032912
SeriesYoshifusa
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Level II bipedal battle mechanism. 1.6 meters tall. 110 kilograms (unloaded). Top running speed of 24 kilometers per hour. Standard optical receptor package. Capable of carrying 2,000 round drum type magazine. Arm mounted 7.62×63mm tri-barreled Gatling gun.
Notes: Cecil provides accessible suppressive firepower from a minimal targetable profile. What this means is that he can put a large number of bullets across a battlefield at about knee-level without presenting himself as a significant target. He is not quite the caliber Tactical Automaton as Warren, but he carries his own internal nuclear power source, so does not require a Teslonic Transmitter.

Rutherford



Designation: Set  03, Rutherford
Model: AT - 031512
SeriesNorihiro
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.

Bucky



Designation: Set  02, Bucky 
Model: At - 030712
SeriesYoshiyuki
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Medium frame bipedal humanoid tactical unit. Ku-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.

Lyle






Designation: Set  02, Lyle  
Model: AT - 022012
SeriesUjifusa
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Medium frame bipedal non-humanoid security type. 14 independently articulated layered composite carbon fiber and liquid adaptive polymer armor plates. Twin mandible type manipulator hands with over and under 10mm light assault cannons. Single wide-angle optical sensor mounted on rotating, dual mode head module. 
Notes: Primarily used in security details, Lyle was never intended to fullfil combat roles. Although well-armed, his weapon systems are designed more for suppression than strategic application and lack significant accuracy.

Ray



Designation: Set  02, Ray 
Model: AT - 021912
SeriesYoshimichi
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal heavy frame humanoid. Twin integrated Ultra - MK high-intensity forced diagnostic command projectors.
Notes: The Ultra - MK command projector uses a combination of LED disorientation and dissonent microwave transmission to interrupt sensory input and impose falsified diagnostic data. Ray is incapable of operating conventional weaponry, but in the end, the effect is the same.

Jonas



Designation: Set  02, Jonas 
Model: AT - 021712
SeriesTomoiye
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal humanoid heavy frame hard power force projection unit. Biomimetic N-1584 Dōraku WMO (weapons management and operation) manipulator system, integrated with a Takezō class tactical brain. Micro layered self replicating complex nano-carbon collective armor plating. Wide spectrum single point optical sensor package.
Notes: What makes a good robotic soldier? Some schools of thought adhere to a strict doctrine of superiority through cutting edge technology, from the latest sensory equipment, to super complex armor and other defensive systems, to dedicated hyper advanced weapons packages. Jonas adheres to a simple philosophy that the immediate application of basic mechanics will always achieve greater effect than any advancement or technique if unnecessarily complicated. This explains his tendency to hit things with a giant sword in combat.

David



Designation: Set 02, David
Model: AT - 020511
SeriesSukesada
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Heavy frame bipedal humanoid. Oversized BMA (biomimetic manipulator arms) reinforced with carbon nanotube filaments. 32 integrated forced induction kinetic amplifiers direct linked to twin artificially perceived aggression modulators. 
Notes: The devastating psychological and emotional effects of indiscriminate and excessive physical violence is often overlooked in favor of more direct methods of engagement. As technology advances the skillful application of pervasive chaos in a battlefield environment has all but become a lost art. David was not built for the precision handling of weaponry. Instead, every mechanical component installed in his massive frame serves only to assist him in delivering a good old fashioned beating.

Dana



Designation: Set 01, Dana
Model: AT - 020312
SeriesKuniyuki
TypeAutonomous Tactical
Description: Medium frame bipedal humanoid. Tandem mounted auto clarifying steel encased telescopic sighting component with multi-variable ballistic drop compensators (BDC). .338 Lapua Magnum (8.58x70mm) integrated accurized hyper-ranged rifled weapon. Single biomimetic manipulator arm. Mixed density polymer body casing. 
Notes: What Dana lacks in aesthetics he makes up for in awkward firing postures. He is undoubtedly a devastatingly accurate shootist, if only from a standing position. Firing prone, or from a hulldown covered postion is practically a physical impossibility. Due to financial impediments brought on by legal entanglement concerning Lon, the Kuniyuki house decided to sacrifice joint flexibility for stability in the weapons platform.

Chet



Designation: Set 01, Chet
Model: AT - 020112
SeriesKunimasa
TypeAutonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal humanoid medium frame aquatic type. Pressure sealed logic systems. Extended cruising capabilities up to distances of 12,00 kilometers, non-stop, estimated at 2 knots, with an operating depth of 315 meters. Semi-intelligent 50 kilogram variable balast system. Isolated energy storage, with supplemental chemosynthetic power generation. Forced impulse kinetically amplified joint structures. 
Notes: While technically amphibious, Chet prefers a purely submerged operational parameter.

Jake



Designation: Set 01, Benjamin
Model: AT - 011912
SeriesKanemitsu
TypeAutonomous Tactical
Description: Small frame bipedal humanoid. Titanium carbide plating. Reinforced joint structures. Integrated single 150mm direct and indirect projectile delivery system. Primary wide-angle optical sensor. Secondary periscoping optical sensor. Single biomimetic manipulator arm with built-in 9mm sidearm. Johnston Mark II enhanced targeting computer. 
Notes: A simple mechanical design, Jake is a low cost, yet highly intelligent, heavy munitions delivery system. With the periscope he can fire directly from the relatively safe hull-down position, or indirectly, as a mortar. His high performance specialized targeting computer makes even unintelligent rounds devastatingly effective.

Quentin



Designation: Set 01, Quentin
Model: AT - 011112
SeriesKuniyasu
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal humanoid heavy frame premium shock trooper. Third generation compressed liquid state electronic brain encased in a triple secure shielded core. Redundant layered self-replicating carbon-tube nano-mechanical armor. Four additional independently mounted reactive armor plates. Burst flight enabled, via rear mounted twin Suitor MCM-65 lift modules, capable of up to forty seconds of lift. Reinforced EM amplified kinetic joint structures. Armored end of arm tooling, dedicated to weapons operations.
Notes: For the select few for whom price is no obstacle, Quentin is by far the obvious choice in autonomous tactical robotics. The very definition of top of the line, he is equally as effective as he is extravagant. Despite his heavy frame, his reinforced EM amplified kinetic joint structures make him unbelievably quick on his feet. His processing speed is unparalleled for a unit of his type. There is however limited data regarding actual combat performance, as those who can actually afford him seem reluctant to risk engaging him in live operations.

Davis



Designation: Set 01, Davis
Model: AT - 041811
SeriesNagatsuna
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal humanoid, light frame, economy model. Single lens optical array. Biomimetic end of arm tooling.
Notes: Despite a short battery life, lack of armor, and a relatively slow operating speed, Davis is popular with paramilitary police groups. Fairly inexpensive to produce, Nagatsuna currently offers bulk discounts, and packaged munition deals. These kind of marketing strategies have proven attractive to those with conservative budgets, and have done much to quell reports of recurring mechanical problems.

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.

Roy



Designation: Set 11, Roy
Model: AT-111111
Series: Shigekuni
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal biomimetic humanoid. Pneumatic primary actuator system. Liquid state cognitive processing matrix. Light deflection type titanium armor plating.
Notes: Although not entirely suited for prolonged combat engagements, Roy is a versatile fighter. His lightweight structure coupled with his sturdy armature makes him ideal for airborne and other such rapid deployment options. Unfortunately, his optical capabilities are somewhat lacking in range and clarity, making a sniper specialization out of the question. Typically he is paired with Carlos for just his reason.

Lewis



Designation: Set 11, Lewis
Model: AT-110911
Series: Kuniyasu
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal partial humanoid. Tri-digit end of arm manipulator tools. Over-sized armored pauldrons. Dual sub-core optical arrays. Flexing auto-skin armored external layer.
Notes: Simple yet effective, Lewis exemplifies the purely pragmatic approach to tactical design.
