It has occurred to me that with Architect due to go live in a few weeks, it is possible that I may be somewhat inundated with “suggestions” of how my great invention could be “improved”. Map editor! Why would they want a map editor when all the maps are already perfect?!

Unfortunately, in as a result of a small misunderstanding over a few words I put in his mouth with Architect, Marshal Brass seems reluctant to provide adequate security, so I have decided to design a robotic security force capable of dealing with any unwelcome superpowered visitors.

The basic “minion” rank unit will be relatively cheep, so it can be mass produced. It will be equipped with Force Field generators, and capable of Empathic healing. If there is anything heroes love more than a heal-bot, it’s lots heal-bots protected by virtually impenetrable force fields! A self destruct function would be desirable, but exceeds budget constraints.

Note to self: The Empathy function will require the inclusion of organic brain matter into the positronic matrix. Talk to Countess Crey about obtaining suitable donors.

The heal-bots will have minimal offensive capabilities, but I propose to fit the mid range unit with Talsorian claws. I have observed that Vanguard use them very effectively against all kinds of armor.

The most expensive, heavily armored units will provide ranged fire support. Arming them with both sonic beam projectors and high energy plasma flamethrowers, they should be able to target whole groups of heroes symultaiously, and prevent any “tanks” or expendable minions absorbing damage for whole teams.

All units will be equiped with teleportation devices for improved mobility and response.


I really should do something about this signature.
