Leroy

 
 
 
Designation: Quebec: Set 02, "Leroy."
Model: HT - 022811
Series: Kunitomo
Type: Hybrid Tactical
Description: Black-ops bipedal heavy assault chassis. Depleted uranium plate armor. "Head-Snatcher" type biological specified data acquisition protocol.    
Notes: Although largely banned in human friendly robotic societies, Leroy and other such Head-Snatcher type combat models have managed to find selective mercenary work in some of the darker theaters of operations. Leroy not only has the ability to access biological data through invasive penetration of the human brain, but he also has an unpleasant tendency of wearing his acquisitions in place of a head, until it rots away.

Marty




Designation: Lima: Set 02, "Marty."
Model: AS - 022711
Series: Tadakuni
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Bipedal movement. Biomimetic fully articulated joint structure. Shutter actuated expressive suggestion. Behaviorally enhanced for complex human interaction.   
Notes: Originally, Marty was a concept design for the MDS Mar.10 project by Gemma Shimizu. Shimzu kept the biomimetic chassis, but completely restructured the head and internal programming, feeling ultimately that Marty failed to fully manifest the human equivalent of an interactive personality. Although socially awkward among humans, Marty has found a place in human/robot conflict mediation.

Barry

 
 
 
Designation: Papa - Set 02, "Barry."
Model: AR - 022611
Series: Shigemune
Type: Autonomous Reconnaissance
Description: Bipedal "Raphus" class locomotion system. Logic suppression matrix, enhanced for spatial navigation devoid of inhibitive rational complexity.  
Notes: There are few joys in life tantamount to the observation of Barry in full function within his natural behavior parameters. He just runs and runs...

Newton

 
 
 
Designation: Oscar - Set 02, "Newton."
Model: AT - 022511
Series: Yoshihiro
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Hexapod locomotion system. Matching forearm mounted oscillating field particle accelerators, with linked "Touch of Death" digital target application. Quantum aggression enhancement.
Notes: Newton's primary purpose is essentially destruction on demand, with a concentration in unnecessarily wide scale ruination. Additionally, his quantum aggression enhancement provides a significantly satisfying coup de grĂ¢ce for those particular enemies who especially need a good killing.

Gilbert




Designation: November - Set 02, "Gilbert."
Model: AS - 022411
Series: Motomichi
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: High-speed mono-wheel mobility system. Internal free phase equilibrium matrix. Left and right fully articulated digital manipulators. Grim style external aesthetics. Dual high-yield electron disruption field generators. 
Notes: As far as personality goes, it would be nice if Gilbert had one. Nothing fancy of course. No one wants a chipper rapid response behavioral inhibition unit.

Gordon




Designation: Mike - Set 02, "Gordon."
Model: AS - 022311
Series: Tadakuni
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: On-site maintenance and alteration. Heavy weapons load-out qualified. Sturdy carbon fiber construction, lightly armored. Retractable fully articulated digital manipulators, designed specifically for manual data input via keyboard or V-DED (virtual data entry display).
Notes: Gordon is the robot they call when Albert needs to switch between armaments, such as from dual Gauss artillery to quad mini-gun systems. His duties also include reloading weapons, manually reprogramming strategic algorithms, and light repair details. Because his services are most needed in combat environments, and in no small part because of his extremely thin-skinned armor, Gordan has developed into rather an expeditiously efficient worker.

Gertrude

 
 
 
Designation: Kilo - Set 02, "Gertrude."
Model: SAT - 022211
Series: Kanemitsu
Type:  Special Autonomous Tactical
Description: Devoted specified anomaly rectification.
Notes: Gertrude has the unfortunate responsibility of adjusting forcibly the behavior of problematic units. Usually this means Edmund.
