Securitron

, or RobCo security model 2060-B is a robot model produced before the Great War by RobCo. After the Great War, they can be encountered mostly in and around New Vegas.

Characteristics
In place of a head of a Securitron is a large television screen (which display different faces such as Vegas Vic or a policeman). Built with a single wheel for propulsion and two mechanical arms with pincers on the end, these robots were apparently used as portable televisions before the Great War. Securitrons roam The Mojave, and are hostile to the Courier. Some securitrons, that are under the control of Mr. House, patrol the Strip with NCR military police.

Most Securitrons use the outdated Mark I operating system (Identified by policeman face), which only allows them access to melee attacks using their pincers, mid-range attacks using their Gatling Lasers, and short range attacks using their 9mm Submachine Guns. With the Mark II (Identified by soldier face) operating system, which was hidden on the Platinum chip, a variety of new features are supported. A built-in rapid-fire grenade launcher, as well as a long-range M235 missile launcher and updated drivers for the already highly-effective auto-repair system. House himself announces that these features result in a 235% increase in combat effectiveness.

However, since the Securitrons can only fire in a forward direction, they can easily be flanked from behind and pummeled with impunity, the robots unable to turn fast enough to face you as you continue to attack them from the rear. This tactic is made less effective by the presence of other enemies, of course.



Appearances
Securitrons appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
