Walking Eye

"Lobotomites! Wash the walking eye."

- 0

The Walking eye is a robot found in The Big Empty in 2281.

Background
The walking eye is a prototype robot constructed in the Big Mountain Research and Development Center by unknown scientists, possibly under the direction of Dr. 0, some time prior to 2281. It is a four-legged, spider-like robot similar to Chinese spider drones, but with a spherical body intended to resemble an eyeball. Its exact purpose and function are unclear, but conversations with Dr. 0 imply that it was to be used for espionage or surveillance.

In 2281, only three models remain, all located in the Magnetohydraulics Complex.

Appearances
Walking eyes only appear in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues if the player has the Wild Wasteland trait.

Behind the scenes

 * Walking eyes are a reference to an episode of The Venture Bros. entitled Fallen Arches, where Dr. Venture uses his prototype walking eye as a lure to attract the attention of supervillains. This robot is, in turn, a parody of the walking eye robots in the Jonny Quest cartoon series.
