The Assaultron

The Assaultron was constructed by RobCo Industries and sold to the United States military as a frontline wartime combatant as early as 2072.[1] It is fast and deadly at close range and employs a devastating laser at a distance. Some units can even employ stealth technology.[2] They are quick, nimble and customizable, with a variety of weaponry such as lasers and razor-sharp claws. An Assaultron will not stop until its core is damaged. Even after losing limbs and pieces of machinery, it continues to fight on. Some Assaultrons are equipped with bombs set to detonate if they are destroyed. that of the other designs. Heavily modified Assaultrons are known to wander the Commonwealth, ranging from those with Protectron heads to better make use of laser weapons to those that replace their legs with a Mister Handy thruster for even more speed and wield dual Shishkebabs in place of claws. There are also secondhand makeshift armor designs that give the Assaultron a fearsome visage. Furthermore, raiders are known to adapt robot armor for their own use, including Assaultron head armor, from which they create Assaultron helmets. As for the heads themselves, some non-functioning units still contain a functioning laser, which those desperate enough to endure the subsequent radiation poisoning can use as a handheld weapon.
