• Material: Quandanium steel, titanium plating

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

• Classification: Fourth Degree
• Weight: 200 kg
• Height: 5 meters
• Movement: Bipedal
• Armaments:
  ​1x rotary blaster cannon
• 4x anti-personnel cannon
• 1x cluster missile launcher

[*]Misc. Equipment:

• Infra-red scanner
• Life-form scanner
• Holo projector
• Nuclear reactor
• DMPCA

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Hive mind programming - This droid will only work when connected to a central droid computer or some other form of system capable of managing it
• Facial recognition programming - Capable of recognizing individuals on a pre-registered database

Strengths:

• Packing a punch - Large array of weaponry capable of taking down numerous types of enemies
• Defensive - Capable of protecting structures or itself with its DMPCA

Weaknesses:

• Large - Very easy to hit target
• Shutting down - Should the central droid computer be shut down, so will this droid#
• Vulnerable to Ion/EMP weaponry
• Noisy - Very noisy, basically incapable of doing anything 'under the radar'
• DMPCA - When this feature is in use, the Z1-CAD is incapable of using any of its weapon systems. Along with this, the Z1-CAD will always be vulnerable at its sides and behind, due to it being placed at the front. Finally, the DMPCA is prone to being overloaded with power from heavier weaponry, so using it to try and protect against heavy energy weapons may overload the system and cause it to be unusable for a period of time.

DESCRIPTION

The Z1-Calamity Assault Droid is the sister model to IMF's Z2-MCD but in a much larger, heavier and more potent form. The larger reactor enables its systems to be more powerful, reducing the weakness of its sister model requiring to slow its movement speed to a near-halt while firing, however it still can only open fire or activate its point defense systems when the other is deactivated.

To some, size doesn't matter, but the sheer mass of this droid means it is very noticeable and is an easy to hit target in a combat situation. Much like its name suggests, 'Calamity' will ensue when this is destroyed, and sometimes, it may be better for the opposing force simply to cripple one of its legs and force it to crush surrounding allies. Finally, similar to all other IMF products, the Z1-Calamity Assault Droid requires a central droid computer to operate, which reduces manufacturing costs but it will always shut down whenever the connection is severed.

This sub looks pretty good. Only thing I can see to add in would be the weaknesses from the DMCPA to this sub, with the addendum of "When DMCPA is in use..."

[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses :[/SIZE]

• 
  [SIZE=9pt]Vulnerable - The actual being projecting the barrier will always be left vulnerable in several angles due to the nature of design.[/SIZE]
  
• 
  [SIZE=9pt]Overload - Naturally, heavier and stronger weapons, especially energy weapons, have the possibility of overloading the entire system and rendering it useless for some time.[/SIZE]
  

Those are fairly pertinent to the operation of the droid, and are some fairly awesome weaknesses.

Ohh sorry I thought you meant adding it as a seperate weakness, not adding in the weaknesses that come from the other technology submission.

Shutting down - Should the central droid computer be shut down, so will this droid

I assume that this droid still maintains the same weaknesses to Ion/ EMP as a standalone method of potentially being shut down?
