Warbot

Nothing says a sci-fi war in the stars quite like laser-wielding robots.The warbot is a TL9-TL12 half-ton non-humanoid fighting machine. It has two arms plus three specialized weapon mounts for additional firepower. As a machine, it is immune to toxins, fatigue, and diseases, and its senses are protected, making it highly resistant to deafening and dazzling. A fully-equipped warbot may be a match for other such war machines, such as a X-08 Tarantula or Dexamenos-class combat robot like C-31! 
Warbots are autonomous by default, operating on a set of orders or commands. All warbot types have multi-mode radar for detection, except for the Submarine, which uses sonar, as radar is impractical through water. 
== Warbot Structure ==
=== Standard ===
The standard warbot is the "walking tank", with a centauroid design--a body supported by four legs. It costs around $200,000, not including its brain, which costs somewhere between $100 to $30,000. Move 5 boosts to Move 10 when running. It also has Super Jump 1, making it surprisingly agile when chasing targets through urban areas. 
=== Submarine ===
A pressurized hull, optimized for aquatic exploration. It has regular optical detection, but with 20k yard sonar communication. Note that radar is useless underwater, making the submarine radar-invisible! Submarine warbots are often equipped with torpedoes, rockets, gyrocs and such, as kinetic weapons and lasers are impractical underwater. Move 10 in water--although this slow speed may be an oversight.
=== Vertol ===
Highly mobile, with stub wings and 3D Spatial Sense. It can take off and land vertically, deploying from rooftops, caves, ships, or anywhere else. Move 40 is relatively slow for a flyer, but is just fast enough to chase down protagonists on motorcycles.
== Tech Level Variation ==
GMs are encouraged to make advanced warbots more creative, more clever, and have more diabolically dangerous features. It is one thing to improve a warbot's damage resistance, it's another to give it a level of Super Jump, or Amphibious, or give it Chameleon Surface!
