Sherman

 
 
 
 
Designation: Zulu - Set  04, "Sherman."
Model: AS - 050311
Series: Jumyo
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Bipedal maintenance unit. Intuitive cross-construct repair capabilities. Pragmatized logic drive, with object awareness. 
Notes: Sherman fixes things that break. Temporarily of course. But for quick, inexpensive fixes, that will most likely do little else than prolong the inevitable demise of all material object, no one does it with a cheerier disposition than Sherman.

Moses





Designation: Yankee - Set  04, "Moses."
Model: AT - 050211
Series: Kaneyuki
Type: Autonomous Developmental
Description: N/A
Notes: At this point no one is sure what Moses was originally designed for. Actually, no one is exactly sure what he capable off. Discovered deep within a secret development vault after the liquidation of the Kaneyuki design firm, it is not even certain he is a finished product. What is known is that he is devoid of locomotion, outside suspended propulsion, his electronic brain is either impenetrably shielded, and perhaps coded in an unprecedented ciphered language, and he has no mounting for manipulator arms. He seems intelligent, but uninterested in communication.

Dick




Designation: Xray - Set  04, "Dick."
Model: AT - 050111
Series: Hiroshige
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: High speed underwater impulse drive. Amphibious mobility feature. Alternative organic power conversion system. Fully articulated manipulator arms.
Notes: Dick is an agenda driven specialized destructive force, if only in marine environments. On land he is rather a fish out of water.

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.
