- LIKON durability: LIKON values toughness and durability, reflected in redundant systems, additional bracing, fusion welded plating, and magna bolted seals. LIKON products are typically known to be able to take hits and keep on functioning.
- LIKON universality: LIKON specifically designs its systems with a minimum of moving parts, and with as much universal access as possible to allow for a seamless and pain-free maintenance cycle. It is exceptionally easy to repair and maintain this item.
- Space saver: this droid can collapse itself into half its regular size when in storage mode; this makes for easier transportation and deployment.
- (+) Taskmaster: the 4M-4N foreman droid is the frontline coordinator for other LIKON droids; the "ears" on its head are actually powerful broadband antennas that allow it to communicate with other droids for several kilometers (further, if tapped into a comm network). Additionally, the 4M-4N is capable of instantaneously communicating via hyperwave channel with other droids in its immediate vicinity (100 meters). This communication method is largely un-jammable when paired with its comm repeater and comm booster pack (a necessity in environments with heavy radiation or energy discharges), though when repeating and boosting it can only communicate unhindered within a hundred meter radius.
- (+) Security programming: unlike other LIKON industrial droids, the 4M-4N is programmed with security programming that gives it an able degree of combat ability (small arms, grenades, decent tactical ability). It is often the singular droid in charge of security on work sites, and is programmed to defend industrial operations until LIKON security can arrive.
- (+) Construction armor: this droid is well armored with a reinforced duralloy chassis. Highly resistant to energy and kinetic damage, this provides excellent protection against magma, explosions, boulders, industrial accidents, combat, and other hazards encountered on work sites.
- (-) Security, not combat: the 4M-4N is adept at security operations, as well as stalling techniques designed to allow for more equipped and capable LIKON personnel to intervene. Despite this, the 4M-4N is not a battle droid, and can easily be overwhelmed one on one. Likewise, should the 4M-4N use the droids under its control to attack an enemy, all a smart enemy has to do is eliminate the 4M-4N in order to stop its far less intelligent minions.
- (-) Middle management: the 4M-4N coordinates subordinate droids to perfection - but poorly coordinates between each other (a common theme is that they will argue their task is more important than another 4M-4N's operation). As such, 4M-4Ns typically need to report to a singular source, such as organic administration or an advanced planning droid.
The LIKON 4M-4N foreman droid is the frontline coordinator for other LIKON droids; from construction, demolition, mining, and fabrication, the 4M-4N is ubiquitous across LIKON industrial operations. The industrial equivalent to a tactical droid, the 4M-4N can coordinate dozens and even hundreds of LIKON droids simultaneously, and are singularly responsible for construction timeframes and production quotas across LIKON's operations.
Combined with complex processors, high-capacity memory banks, and a L1CC backup drive, the 4M-4N contains detailed schematics of its given work project, along with projected timetables, quotas, inventory logs, maintenance reports, efficiency and quality ratios, and every single other piece of pertinent information that it could possibly use.
Brusque yet efficient, 4M-4Ns are known for their efficient and hard working personalities, their genuine care for the droids under their command, and their competitiveness to reach timetables and quotas as efficiently as possible without cutting corners.
