Dr. Zimmer

 is a scientist who is temporarily staying at Rivet City, searching for his prized escaped androids. Zimmer hails from the Commonwealth, and has arrived at Rivet City in hopes of recovering his lost android. He can give you the quest The Replicated Man. If the player chooses to warn Harkness (Zimmer's android) of his impending capture, Harkness will proceed to slaughter Zimmer and his android bodyguard Armitage (Or you can advise Harkness to simply kick Zimmer out of Rivet City). However, if the player chooses to inform Zimmer of Harkness's identity, Zimmer will proceed to capture Harkness against his will.

Appearances
 only appears in Fallout 3, in the lab room of Rivet City.

Trivia
The name Dr. Zimmer is probably a reference to the movie Mandroid (1993), in which the character Dr. Karl Zimmer is the creator of a humanoid robot.
