Rust Devils (Automatron)

The Rust Devils are a robot-obsessed, raider gang in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
The Rust Devils are a raider gang that appeared recently in the Commonwealth around the time of the arrival of the Mechanist, and set up their main base at the Fort Hagen satellite array. They are led by Ivey and are differentiated from typical raider gangs by their extensive use of robots.

The Rust Devils scavenge throughout the Commonwealth for functional robots and parts, which they reprogram and heavily customize, subsequently used for raids or base defense. Any robots they cannot capture or reprogram are stripped down for either parts to maintain their existing robot cohort, or to build armor for themselves. The Rust Devils are openly hostile to everyone, including other raider gangs. Rust Devils and raiders are seen fighting each other upon the Sole Survivor's arrival to the General Atomics factory.

During the quest Headhunting, the Sole Survivor must enter the Rust Devils' base at the Fort Hagen satellite array in order to get to one of the Mechanist's robobrains, Jezebel. Their leader Ivey and numerous Rust Devil raiders and robots are killed, as well as a heavily modified sentry bot named Ahab. Their presence is largely minimal from then on, limited to their robots ambushing caravans and trying to take down random robots across the Commonwealth.

Technology
The Rust Devils are without a doubt the most technologically advanced raider gang in the Commonwealth. Possessing the knowledge to modify, maintain, and even create large amounts of customized robots, albeit by cannibalizing others. The Rust Devils use these robots to augment their numbers and will take them on raids and scavenging patrols. In addition, The Rust Devils create their own custom armor, which is also made from the remains of robots. Their leader Ivey even possesses a modified suit of T-60 power armor, a step up from the raider power armor utilized by other raider gangs.

The Rust Devils' obsession with robots even extends to their traps, which often consist of a laser tripwire rigged up to an Assaultron head.

Rust Devil
