Wallace




Designation: Set  03, Wallace
Model: VAW - 041312
SeriesFuyuhiro
TypeVariable Autonomous Weapon
Description: Quadrupedal tactical pump-action 20mm shotgun. OF-Neuronetic Cyberbrain. Twin side mounted wide-angle optical receptors. Automatic 10 round front loading magazine. Acinonyx locomotion system, capable of speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour.
Notes: Fully capable of limited firing without assistance, Wallace can be thrown from cover to provide suppressive fire, or sudden diversion. Given his low profile and high-speed mobility, he can be sent to reload his own ammunition, or even to gather intelligence.

Lars



Designation: Set  02, Lars
Model: AS - 021012
SeriesNorikuni
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Small frame quadruped. Self-sustaining Teslonic internal power supply. Carbon fiber and ultra-light polymer resin encasement. Reversed friction forward propulsion. Rear mounted monofilament coil. Artificially setaceous footpads.
Notes: Lars was originally designed with eight legs, but due to budget cuts he was reduced to four. Despite this, his operational performance does not seem to be adversely affected. With his small size, monofilament coil, and artificially setaceous footpads he is quite capable of descending or ascending into even the most inhospitable work environments.

Emile



Designation: Set  01, Emile
Model: AS - 010712
SeriesKunimitsu
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Light frame, non-humanoid quadruped. Single shuttered pulse-sensitive optical sensor. 
Notes: Emile can track the movements of type 3 and 4 cloaked and fully shielded machines up to four days prior to physical their presence by both heat signature and deductive terrain comparisons.

Arnold



Designation: Set 11, Arnold
Model: AL - 112811
Series: Toshinaga
Type: Autonomous Logistical
Description: Air cooled partially organic bilaterian electronic brain system, capable of exerting centralized control over up to 12 individual tactical units. Quadrupedal mobility system. Twin hardwired standard type optical sensory package.
Notes: Hive-mind technologies are the logical solution to the often convoluted problems of logistic communications. One central brain simultaneously controlling multiple units with the same ease a single automaton requires to perform simple tasks like walking. Arnold cannot control as many units as some, such as Wilbur, but his light frame and high mobility make him a valuable asset in small scale operations.

Herschell



Designation: Set 11, Herschell
Model: AS - 112311
Series: Teruhiro
Type: Autonomous Support  
Description: Wheeled quadrupedal midsized chassis. Self contained hybrid electric/micro-fusion powerplant. Independently articulated suspension, with in-hub motors.
Notes: In the early days of automaton design, wheeled mobility was the preferred method of energy efficient locomotion. After the development of the C-Brown and subsequent series phased array microwave transmitters, the greater power requirements for biomimetic appendages became less of an inhibiting factor, and bipedal humanoid type chassis are now considered an industry standard. Herschell was designed to be the perfect marriage between the early autonomous wheeled vehicles and modern biomimetic humanoid types. He is incredibly fast over rough terrain, and he is not dependent on exterior power sources.

Casey

 
 
Designation: Set 11, Casey
Model: AS - 111711
Series: Shinryo
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Medium frame rapid mobility quadruped. Auto-sealing armored dorsal weapons cache. Anterior forced kinetic thrust joint structures. Four shoulder mounted optical sensors, with thermal and infrared capabilities.
Notes: Casey is a high-speed gun runner, able to deliver munitions rapidly to units locked down in combat situations. He can be called upon as a courier to transport hard data, as needed. What he cannot do is stand in one place for any given period of time. This often forces soldiers in need of supplies to chase after him in order recover his payload.

Mason



Designation: Set 10, Mason
Model: ACS - 102911
Series: Tsurushige
Type: Autonomous Civil Service
Description: Non-humanoid quadrupedal chassis. Limited impulse relayed energy propulsion. Twin externally mounted rectenna (rectifying antenna) panels, requiring a C-Brown series phased array microwave transmitter. Reactive flex poly-fiber internal armature with an auto replicating exterior nano-colony shell.
Notes: It is not acceptable to ride Mason.

Janette



Designation: Set  10, Janette
Model: SABS - 100611
Series: Moriyuki
Type: Special Autonomous Biological Support
Description: Partial humanoid, quadrupedal wheeled locomotion. Tri-pronged forced kinetic manipulator arms. Extensively indexed records of both human anatomy and autonomous design parameters. CRTAD type strategic reasoning and manipulation electronic mind system.
Notes: Torture, of either humans or automatons, is typically a subject of considerable repugnance in most civilized society. Still, with the latest advancements in electronic shielding and code encryption, often it is necessary to take a more physical approached to intelligence gathering. Janette has the rare ability to outwit and confuse even the most capably secure biomimetic brain systems, and can often obtain information without the use of structural integrity awareness warning protocols. Tearing mechanical entities to shreds while still activated is merely a hobby.

Taylor



Designation: Set  09, "Taylor"
Model: AS - 091911
Series: Sukemichi
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Quadrupedal, non-humanoid type. Single wide-angle optical input sensor.
Notes: Although he has little function beyond basic locomotion and simple audio/visual recording, Taylor still manages to excel in the field of data management. He does look a little like he is running at you carry a small infant, and that can be disconcerting.

Zachary






























Designation: Set  06, "Zachary."
Model
: AAT - 071611
Series: Shigetsugu
Type: Autonomous Assistant - Tactical
Description: Mobile self-integrating independently intelligent armament. Fully adaptive ambidextrous shoulder connector, with 3 DOF (degrees of freedom), capable of coupling with most large frame humanoid tactical units with detachable manipulator arms. Minimal quadrupedal mobility, with a maximum speed of 60 kilometers an hour, average, over rough terrain. 30mm multi-barrel cannon with 2,000 round storage capacity. Pinel type symbiotic personality, with twin positive alignment cooperative strategy algorithm generators. Single shoulder mounted optical unit.
Notes: Zachary can take the place of a robotic arm, attach himself, and detach himself, even run his own ammunition replenishment details. He can follow a tactical unit into combat and provide armament options in a moment's notice. Not only can he integrate as a piece of controllable physical hardware, he can also decide his own target vectors fire indipendent of the primary unit's strategy processors.
