The Combat Drones
Added 2017-10-26 09:11:17 +0000 UTC
Full designation: Turanga-Class Mark VI Semi-Autonomous Combat Drone
The Mark-Sixes are one of several experimental weapons systems that Doc and Roger are helping design and test for various branches of the US Government. They have no proper AI, but do carry some fairly sophisticated programming, and can network with each other for target tracking and other relatively simple problem-solving.
Primary power source: Roger's third-generation fast-neutron "pocket reactor"
Primary weapon: A single 1/2-Megawatt Infrared Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL)
Secondary weapons: as-yet undetermined
(Cast page has been updated. :) )

Yes, the BOLO series. "For the honor of the regiment!" So help me I cried when I read that line.

2017-11-11 02:37:09 +0000 UTCHow many of these damn things are they testing....a brigade???? And just like in Robocop 1 & 2, with the ED-209, and Cain with Nuke, why would you turn a combat drone loose with fully functional weaponry w/o being fully aware of it's capabilities?

2017-11-07 14:46:30 +0000 UTCI'll stick with the BOLO series. More reliable.

2017-11-07 01:16:55 +0000 UTCI think I'D want an "off remote." One that works from a very VERY "remote" location.

2017-11-04 10:30:05 +0000 UTCOne would think, if you're designing a combat drone, an off switch might be a good thing to have.
2017-10-30 13:49:26 +0000 UTCI feel like knowing now that Roger and Doc are developping these is kinda taking a lot away from the mystery of why the heck is Roger being attacked by robots.

2017-10-26 18:05:44 +0000 UTCI may be wrong. but I feel they might need a little more product development before they are ready for the market. I think they'd look better in blue.
