I mean, earlier in this thread, someone was asking why there are female CW, and so maybe the whole "nasty when they want to be" is what GG is getting at... but in context, that was clearly in reference to their offensive capabilities; i.e., if you step out of line, they will shoot/zap/pummel you back into line.|

Unless there was something in the "something else" tone of voice, implying that they're not robots at all... which would mean they're another type of living being, and also have to reproduce some way...
Sounds like when I fought them with a team. Looking back again I wish I took screens.

He didn't free any slaves! He just jumped all over Leigh Taylor-Young! 
Not that I wouldn't, mind you...
Dec out.

I'm happy with my choice.
Now, about those Praetorian Clockwork...from a game design perspective it makes perfect sense to utilise the three body models currently in game, the question is, what's the story behind it? I'm firmly in the conspiracy camp, with those who fail Tyrant's Super programme being mulched into handy robot sized tin-cans. For the greater good. Of course alternately the story might be as simple as the male and female models are designed to be non-threatening or empathetic to the average good citizen, with the huge models for heavy lifting / fighting roles. From what's been seen it doesn't look as though those are the roles they take though.
When's Going Rogue released? Is it now? Now?

Indeed! One being the truth, the other being the propaganda. That Tyrant's sneaky like that!

Yin's was the only convenience store in Overbrook back in the day, before the Quake, when it had a fairly heavy density of superbases. Of course he sells weird weapons (We're fighting Nemesis this afternoon, I'll take two 500 pound bombs and a rapier), and clothes (Yin! I have a date with Lois Watson, and the Redcaps ate my civilian clothing stash! What do you have in a 20" inseam?)
