Zipper-2 Millitary Combatant Droid
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION- Intent: Standard war droid for IMF
- Image Source: Deviant art
- Canon Link: N/A
- Restricted Missions: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: IMF
- Model: N/A
- Production: Mass-produced
- Affiliation: TSA/IMF, otherwise Closed-Market
- Modularity: Yes
Internal reactor can be reduced in size for a passenger cargo of one, but this will come at the expense of either removing its shielding capacity or firearms. - Mounted weapons can be replaced but are not supported by the manufacturer
- Various colour palette changes
[*]Material: Vanadium with Quadanium steel plating
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- Classification: Fourth Degree
- Weight: 300 kg
- Height: 2.3m
- Movement: Bipedal, repulsorlift
- Armaments:
2x mounted scatterguns (6 barrels, firing 12 pellets per round)
[*]Misc. Equipment:
- Infra-red scanners
- Forward facing shielding
- Holo projector
- Point defense laser capable of shooting small projectiles down
- Self encased environment capsule* (When reactor size is reduced)
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Hive mind programming
- Self destructive
- Overdrive
- Hive mind programming - Only works when connected to a central computer unless produced. Variants which are not are generally more expensive.
- Self destructive - In a pinch, the reactor will overload and create a beautiful firework show* that will damage nearby terrain and lifeforms.
- Overdrive - Scatter guns can be overloaded with power, increasing their pellet size and kinetic energy at the expense of shielding and mobility systems to be ineffective.
Strengths:
- Mobile - Can fire whilst using repulsorlift propulsion
- Oppressive - The scatterguns provide constant fire with a high RPM (Rounds per minute)
- Spaaaaceeee - Can actually be used in space due to its mobility, serving a duel purpose
- Heavy - If for some reason the weapons are disabled, it can result to simply ramming any opponents.
- Slow - Outside of using its thrusters, while firing, nearly all power is removed from the bipedal legs, slowing movement.
- Ineffective at long ranges - Weapon pellets will be ineffective at anything longer than 10-15 meters.
- Hive mind - destruction of its controller will render most models ineffective (Unless they were specifically designed to be used without such technology)
- Noisy - These things are hulking metal beasts, they make a lot of noise.
- Large - Really noticeable, stealth mission incompatible
The Z2-MCD is a more mobile droid from the IMF. Boasting speed, defense and offense, the droid has several capabilities that others of its kind do not. Repulsorlift reactors coupled with bi-pedal legs give this model a good amount of mobility, enabling it to close the distance on its foes, or escape as needed. Between uses, the repulsorlift require a 10 second recharge with a maximum time of use being 5 minutes. Mounted on the front are scatterguns working on an overheat based system, enabling fire power to be constantly given out and then overloaded with power if needed. In saying that, the shielding systems and repulsorlift reactors become null as all energy is diverted to increase maximum damage output.
The droid is further supplemented by extensive defensive capabilities, including basic shielding, point defense lasers and in general, heavy armour plating with a weaker element used underneath.
Despite its many strengths, the door-to-door salesman won't inform you of the necessity of a central computer for standard models to work, although this gives security in that they can't be tricked or even controlled, shut down the central hub and suddenly these white and red robots will be powering down and rendered ineffective, and despite the near infinite firepower, anything longer than 10-15 meters will be getting scraped by the pellets.
If the weapons weren't shredding your body though, the voice will certainly breach the sound barrier. An ultra high pitch robotic voice was recorded to ensure foes would be constantly distracted when fighting.
Whether it be used as an enforcer, pseudo boarding weapon or even just as your household guard, the Z2-MCD provides a unique set of firearms capable of taking on larger foes.
