Otto

 
 
 
Designation: Set  05, "Otto."
Model: ACS - 061711
Series: Masatoshi
Type: Autonomous Recreational
Description: Bipedal humanoid. AC-3 personality suppression matrix. Low maintenance electromagnetic sliding joint panel frame. End of arm panel scanners.      
Notes: Otto is a reliable, albeit boring, city employee. He can be outfitted with a variety of end of arm tools essential for municipal management. However, his talents seem best utilized in the role of power usage awareness technician.

Russell

 
 
 
Designation: Set  05, "Russell."
Model: ARec - 061511
Series: Masatoshi
Type: Autonomous Recreational
Description: Bipedal humanoid. Welterweight Pygmachia class pugilist chassis. Adaptive solid state electronic brain, suspended in kinetically neutral hydrostatic nano-fluid, complete with extensively indexed hand to hand combat data store.   
Notes: With the rise of Civil Rights for Electronic Entities came the inevitable demise of gladiatorial automatons, as well as  all combat related sports involving robots for entertainment. Even so, units such as Russell have recently begun to emerge, largely under the guise of "training," or "sparring," assistants. It is likely however, due to their rugged construction and unnecessarily devastating fighting capabilities, that they are secretly being used in underground and illegal robotic boxing matches.

Lawrence

 
 
 
Designation: Set  05, "Lawrence."
Model: AT- 061411
Series: Nagayuki
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal humanoid. Dorsal mounted Marx class explosively pumped flux compression generator (EPFCG) calibrated for wide range high yield non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NNEMP)attacks.
Notes: According to recent surveys, autonomous mechanical entities outnumber humans by an estimated 1 to 25 ratio. This may not include remote extra terrestrial autonomous mining operations, who routinely manufacture adaptive individuals independent of outside sanction. With an ever increasing number of unregulated non-human design firms, there are those in certain biological circles that feel the need for automaton specific weaponry to deal with the eventuality of mechanical uprisings. Critics suggest that the existence of units like Lawrence are tantamount to racism and open the door to possible robot targeted "genocide."

Audrey




Designation: Set  05, "Audrey."
Model: SAT- 061211
Series: Shosai
Type: Special Autonomous Tactical
Description: Bipedal humanoid. Carbide titanium locking joint structure. Dual leg mounted reverse thrust anchor engines. Dedicated macrofusion low velocity energy launcher.
Notes: Dedicated armament has its limitations, especially those in place of an arm. Units with limited variable combat application often feel forced to compensate with an exaggerated specialization. Audry's primary function is to obliterate large scale structural elements, specifically to deny an enemy strategic locations from which to stage operations. The scope of her ability to destroy things is great enough to warrant only a conservative use of her talents, making her a rarity on the battlefield. Actually, she is so specific a tool that more often than not it is better to make do without her than it is to foresee the need for her and conduct operations with her on hand.

Dillon




Designation: Set  05, "Dillon."
Model: ACS - 061111
Series: Kunimichi
Type: Autonomous Civil Service
Description: Portable autonomous crime-scene forensic interpreter. Retractable tri-stand base. Wide angle multi-phasic optical sensor. 
Notes: There is some doubt as to the exact differentiations between intelligence and personality. What is without doubt is the obvious fact that Dillon's intelligence is inversely proportional to his personality.

Eustace

 
 
 
 
Designation: Set  05, "Eustace."
Model: ACS - 061011
Series: Kunitomo
Type: Autonomous Civil Service
Description: Public transit security unit. Modified sprint type chassis. Modulating particle based chemosensor array.
Notes: Equipped with a substantially powerful biomimetic olfactory system, Eustace is quite adept at smelling out potential criminal infraction, either by the scent of their contraband narcotics, or trace amounts of explosive residue.

Thaddeus




Designation: Set  05, "Thaddeus."
Model: AS - 060911
Series: Kunisuke
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Mobile solid state refueling system. High-speed bipedal bird-type frame. Series 7 helium-3 (He-3) multi-pod storage module. 
Notes: Primarily used in extra terrestrial mining operations, Thaddeus runs fuel between primary storage depots and mining automatons.
