Tankbot

The tankbot is a type of robot encountered in the Commonwealth in the Fallout 4 add-on Automatron.

Characteristics
Tankbots are based on the Sentry Bot frame and serve as the Mechanist's heaviest minions. True to their origins, they are among the most resilient automatrons and usually rely on devastating long-range firepower to destroy their targets from afar.

Variants
The Mechanist's automatrons are cobbled together from a wide variety of components taken from five different robot models. Tankbots are no exception and come equipped with various torsos, arms, heads and weapons configurations. However, they always utilise the Sentry Bot's three-legged lower chassis for locomotion. Regardless of their component makeup, tankbots are always labelled simply "tankbot" without any distinguishing designation.

Locations

 * During Headhunting, the second Robobrain at Fort Hagen counts a single tankbot among its security detail.
 * Several tankbots are encountered inside the Mechanist's lair during Restoring Order.

Appearances
Tankbots appear only in Automatron.
