Joey

 
 
 
Designation: Whiskey - Set  04, "Joey."
Model: AT - 043011
Series: Kageyoshi
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Single wheel, self-balancing intelligent small arms platform. Right mounted limited articulation interchangeable weapon grip. Low profile frame, less than a meter in height. Capable of speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour.
Notes: High speed and small, Joey makes a difficult target even for the most advanced weapon direction systems. On the downside, he seems to be always underfoot, and is often stepped on by friendly forces.

Simon




Designation: Victor - Set  04, "Simon."
Model: HS - 042911
Series: Tsuguhiro
Type: Hybrid Support
Description: Dichotomous personality driven thought amplification device. External liquid nitrogen fueled cooling system.
Notes: Simon uses high frequency alpha waves to increase brain activity in his host. In most cases he can amplify the human brain's capacity for rational thought up to %120. Previously, this was only possible through dangerous chemical alteration. With only a %0.7 chance of causing a serious aneurysm, Simon remains the safer alternative to augmented hyper-intelligence. The external cooling package also does wonders to prevent the inevitable case hyperthermia while in full function.

Werner




Designation: Uniform - Set  04, "Werner."
Model:  AS - 042811
Series: Tadatsugu
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Low profile quadruped frame. Single optical sensor. Single full range manipulator arm with integrated container control tool. 
Notes: Werner has the distinct privilege of being the most expensive and high-tech cup-holder in existence.

Carlos




Designation: Tango - Set  04, "Carlos."
Model:  AT - 042711
Series: Hiroshige
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Sniper unit. Multiple optical sensor array. Zero point weapon stabilization frame. Integrated Hatchcock target requisitioning computer. 
Notes: With no significant camouflaging capabilities, Carlos's success depends on his ability to calculate shots from almost unbelievable distances. He is of course a military asset, and is used only in open combat environments, rather than in black ops.

Sigmund

 
 
 
Designation: Sierra - Set  04, "Sigmund."
Model: AD - 042611
Series: Kiyosada
Type: Autonomous Demolition
Description: Special atomic demolitions munition delivery unit. Fitted with a 10 kiloton nuclear warhead. Bipedal mobility, capable of speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour.
Notes: For the rare occasion a warhead needs to be walked into position rather than dropped or shot. For some unknown reason he also has been programmed with the ability to whistle.

Blythe





Designation: Romeo - Set  04, "Blythe."
Model: SAS - 042511
Series: Nagatoshi
Type: Special Autonomous Support
Description: Mounted autonomous marionette operator. External over-sized liquid state electronic brain encased in the base frame. Full range operating arm. Interchangeable end of arm mechanical figureheads. 
Notes: In many ways Blythe's role in autonomous intelligence management is virtually identical to Eliza's. The major difference, aside from the fact that she is both stationary and floor mounted, is larger, faster brain, which is capable of handling significantly larger workloads.

Goodwin

 
 
 
Designation: Quebec - Set  04, "Goodwin."
Model: ACS - 042411
Series: Kaneyoshi
Type: Autonomous Civil Service
Description: Multipurpose laborer. "Point-and-Shoot" response type intellect. Eight integrated storage compartments. Weapon ready end of arm manipulators.   
Notes: Goodwin capably fulfills multiple non-tactical roles critical to the stability of any modern urban infrastructure. From basic penal enforcement to biological medical assistance, he is as efficient a policeman as he is a emergency medic. His only limitation is his point-and-shoot type programming, which augments his ability to respond to immediate situations, but sharply effects his aptitude to modify his behavior based on foreseeable upcoming events.
