Sentry Bot (Fallout 3)

The Sentry Bot (military serial numbers SB-XXXX) is a military robot model made before the Great War. A different Sentry Bot model was used in military bases in California, while this one has been seen mainly in the Capital Wasteland. They have two arms that end with deadly weapons (a Minigun or Gatling Laser on the right arm, and a Missile Launcher on the left arm), and tripod legs with wheels.

They are programmed with an authoritative, professional military personality, in contrast to the "gung-ho" personality of the Mr. Gutsy model.

Sentry Bots are the highest level robot NPCs in Fallout 3, and are much more powerful opponents than Protectrons, Robobrains, and Mr. Gutsys.

Statistics
Sentry Bots are extremely durable and take significant amounts of small arms or energy weapons fire, or even multiple missile shots, to destroy. They have the same very high amount of health as a Deathclaw. Additionally, unlike Deathclaws, they do not have a "weak point" that can be targeted for extra damage. They do not take additional damage from headshots, and in fact take reduced damage from shots to the head or legs compared to shots to the torso or arms. Like all other robots, it has a Combat inhibitor body part that will send it into a frenzy if crippled, which would serve to dispatch other foes when it brings its firepower to bear and also to weaken it. Don't let the fact that it is a robot delude you into thinking its slow; those three wheels allow them to move at incredible speed (usually when evading a grenade or retreating from a melee opponent).

Appearances
This sentry bot model appears only in Fallout 3. A similar robot appears in Fallout 2 also armed with minigun and missiles, however with different design.

Quotes
Sentry Bots possess an authoritative array of speech programming, mainly expressing its current programming out loud, much like the Protectron. However, Sentry Bots have a "deeper" voice, instilling fear in all.
