Protectron

Protectrons are robots that appear in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
 As their name suggests, the protectron series of robot were devised primarily for protection and security operations of offices mostly, though their secondary programming is very modular and can be modified to make the Protectron perform many functions, such as acting as greeters, ticket collectors, bartenders, or even functioning as celebrity or historical figure impersonators. They were created by the RobCo corporation.

Protectron


In Fallout 3 as well as in Fallout: New Vegas they are the second weakest robot variant encountered, with only the robobrain having less firepower. They do not pose much of a threat, also due to their slow speed. They are equipped with a hand- as well as a head laser, so if a weapon is disabled, it still can continue in battle. They are not as commonly found as in Fallout 3, with them being in every metro station. In Fallout: New Vegas they are patrolling some (office) buildings and the Securitron vault.

Shipping worker


Shipping workers are robots found in the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters. There are only two of them. They can be found on the bottom floor in the large room of the factory with the bottle cap press machine. The same tactics work on them as well as normal protectrons. Once killed, scrap metal, energy cells and fission batteries, etc. may be found on their bodies.

Sunset Sarsaparilla security


A slightly tougher variant of the protectron, three of these still functioning, can be found patrolling inside the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters, defending it from all Wasteland intruders, while others that are already disabled can be scraped for components.
