Giddyup Buttercup (Fallout 3)

Giddyup Buttercup is the name of a robotic toy horse manufactured by Wilson Automatoys before the Great War. Touted as the "ultimate in equestrian robotics", it was a toy aimed at a target audience of little girls and would cost $16,000. A marketing poster featuring the horse is copyrighted 2042, suggesting the toy was sold at least in that year.

Background
In the Mothership Zeta add-on, the aliens are shown to have an unusual fascination with the toy, possessing hundreds of them stacked on racks in the Research Lab. One particular observation room has a lone Buttercup in the center surrounded by five dead Test Subjects. Blood stains on the glass tube in the center and the floor suggest that the group was attempting to flee something in vain, ostensibly the seemingly harmless toy. Alien Captive Recorded Log 21 features Sally being taken to the recording room and noticing a Giddyup Buttercup. The aliens are described as being excited, either by her recognition of it, or by her happy reaction. If Paulson, Elliot Tercorien, or Somah are taken to the Buttercups in the Research Lab, they will make several uneasy comments about them. they can be sold for 50 caps each
