The Mr. Handy is a multipurpose robot developed by General Atomics International before the Great War and refined in collaboration with RobCo Industries. It was an incredibly popular model, used by government agencies, private companies, and individual citizens across the United States. So reliable that it only received one major hardware update in 2039, to eliminate a bug causing interference in the operation of the multiple arms. The Calpower 238B nuclear power unit and self-maintenance modes were key to its success, ensuring each robot's longevity. To minimize maintenance overhead, each Mr. Handy was designed to perform its nuclear fuel replacement and radiation cleansing. Each unit could carry out maintenance and repairs on other units (it could not carry it out on itself).

By contrast, the Robobrain, as the name implies, is a form of cyborg. Developed by General Atomics International and the US Army with indirect support from RobCo Industries, the Robobrain was designed from the ground up as a multirole platform for use by military and civilian clients. They are more flexible and powerful than robots due to the fact that their central control and processing unit is an actual brain, rather than an artificial facsimile. Coupled with a robust, all-terrain tracked chassis and powerful armaments, the Robobrain was on the forefront of a new revolution in combat robotics.

Both bots are fully recolorable and have a number of faction swatches. The center arm for the Mr Handy doesn't move, so no luck there. I've extended the lower body piece for the robobrain, so that's why it looks so tall. As you can see in the pictures, I've updated the existing fallout plumbots, giving them full recolorability, faction swatches, lower poly counts, and better bones for movement. I've made the securitron torso smaller and merged it with the screen. Files have been updated, so please redownload. Requires into the future, please enjoy!

I was thinking a bit on the chronology for my other planned fic for Norm Maclean x OC and you know what? I call bullshit on Bud telling Norm that Vault 31 has no food or whatever and he will starve.

You know why? Because by the time the bombs hit, Robobrains, what Bud is, weren't perfected AND it wasn't a technology that Vault-Tec in itself participated in developing (In fact, the ones that developed it, General Atomics, weren't even in the meeting in episode 8; at most Robert House could be talking on their behalf, since probably they were already a joint-venture at that time).

In game lore, we have two instances of Robobrains that managed to retain personality and memories in meaningful ways, three if we consider the think-tanks from Old World Blues (I don't, as far as I can see and research their technology differs a lot from the robobrain one developed before the war).

These instances are: the rich people of Vault 118, in Far Harbor, and Professor Calvert (he just didn't put his brain in a robot but used the same tech in principle), in Point Lookout. Both, as far as we can infer from in-game info and lore, done after the bombs (Professor Calvert) or just before them (Vault 118).

Vault 118 only happened because one of the original researchers of the Robobrain was one of the guests for it and they did it all IN SECRECY and against the experiment Vault-Tec had planned; Professor Calvert worked for the US Military and it's very clear that the improvement that allowed for a more certain retention of memories and personality after the extraction was done in his facility, around the time of the bombs, exact date unclear.

Vault-Tec DID HAVE some robobrains for security purposes, because of their association with the government, and I totally think they tried to reverse-engineer it, but considering that I REALLY THINK that the bombs dropped before they planned (Because I sincerely doubt Barb would let Janey with Coop on the supposed day of the bombs), I doubt that they managed to finish this reverse-engineer in time.

So, what I think? That Vault 31, similarly to Vault 111, had a scientist group plus Bud to take care of the cryopods at the start, after the bombs, especially because, as far as we know, it's untested tech and Vault 111 very probably had some goal of studying the effects of cryogenics as a control-group for Vault 31. Similarly to there, it must have some basic facilities for these people.

I really think Bud becoming a robobrain to watch over the cryopods and the Bud's Buds was some time after the bombs, once it became clear that it was needed because waiting for people to kill each other in the surface and for rads to low would take too long and the scientist group was too small to keep a long-term population to take care of the pods and NO WAY they would take people from the other Vaults for it. There's also the fact that, well... He's Brain on a Roomba: a very small Robobrain and with a very limited range of mobility and whose only weapon appears to be a syringe. Really? Not even a single laser gun? Not even to deal with radroaches and such, a pest that could cause a lot of damage on the pods? (In fact... HOW THE FUCK WOULD THEY EVEN GET INSIDE, AS HE IMPLIED THEY DO? The Vault is supposed to be hermetically sealed. I'm pretty sure the only instances we have of outside fauna getting inside Vaults is if the Vault was previously opened at some point, at least)

I'm sorry, I don't buy Bud's robobrain being prepared before the war, quite the contrary: it was a last resource built after the bombs with what they could.

Also... I really, REALLY think that there's stored resources in Vault 31 for two reasons: to use in the Tri-Annual Exchanges with the other two Vaults ("breeders" weren't the only ones exchanged, it's clear in episode 1 that food, seeds and machinery are part of it), thus creating a veneer of respectability and reinforcing the rumors that they have more resources; and to make sure that the people waken up from cryogenic sleep can eat, rest, shower, get their bearings, and be debriefed on what year is, important happenings in the vaults and so on, before being sent to the other Vaults. I refuse to believe that Steph, Hank, Betty and all the others were sent to another Vault ten minutes after being woken, specially because Vault 111 really makes it seem that waking up from cryogenic sleep is not fast nor easy.

AND, I really think more people are occasionally woken for the exchanges, to interpret roles of Overseer and so on, again to create a veneer of respectability, to make it all seen as another Vault indeed, with multiple people and so on. If so, again, at least some food in these moments.

Anyway. All this to say that I firmly believe that Bud was lying through his chassis.

(Also... Broom, mop and bucket. That Bud can't manipulate. Yeah, no, there's facilities for people in some place of Vault 31)

New Fanfiction: Robobrain, Fallout

Premise: Amnesiac Robobrain wakes up in a ruin and has to struggle to survive. Just the prologue for now, but I do have a rough outline for the first arc

[slocum-dodson]

Settlers of the Commonwealth

I'm your only friend, Ron.

and this is Freedom's Tank.

Freedom's Tank is the latest edition to the Commonwealth Minutemen's Arsenal. She's the toughest bitch this side of the Atlantic. Fitted with a head laser that can cook Mirelurks, a big hammer that can smash raiders into submission, and a refreshing Nuka Cola Quantum powered launcher.

But Freedom's Tank is no mindless machine that only craves the imolation of raiders, gunners, and monsters. They have the machine soul of a poet. They contemplate life and it's many beauties. Such as this ocean full of trash.

So, people of the Commonwealth, how can I get you to invest your hard earned caps in making sure we can produce more Freedom's Tanks?
