Mister Gutsy (Fallout 3)

The Mister Gutsy is a combat model robot in the Capital Wasteland in 2277.

Background
The Mister Gutsy, unlike the Mister Handy, is a dedicated combat robot and is easily distinguished from the Handy model by its military olive-drab paint job, WWII-era US Army roundel insignia, improved weapons and the replacement of its British butler voice with an American drill sergeant's. This model was commissioned by the U.S. Army just before the Great War in 2077. They have distinctive "soldierly" personalities, with an advanced AI somewhat similar to that of the Mister Handy model. More likely than not, due to the conflict with China that caused the Great War, Mister Gutsies often scream anti-communist phrases, similar to Liberty Prime. Mister Gutsies also have a more 'gung-ho', patriotic personality compared to the other combat robots in the Capital Wasteland.

Specifications
Mister Gutsies have weapons from the pre-War era, but they are only energy and flame-based. However, they are still tough to defeat because of the material from which they are crafted, which seems to be toughened steel plates.

Gameplay attributes
Mister Gutsy units have several weaknesses: they can't use both weapons simultaneously, and will always switch to their flamer when their target is in range, allowing the player character to effectively thwart an attack by continuously entering and exiting flamethrower range, forcing it to constantly switch weapons. Nearby explosions or anything crippling its thruster can temporarily knock it out of the air, giving the player time to strike it down.

Players may also get to point-blank range, as close as possible, and move around the Gutsy. It can't attack while the player is doing this. Getting close enough to do this while avoiding its fire is very tricky.

Mister Gutsies are more resistant to bullets than other robots and armor-piercing rounds seem to have little effect on them. Their voice is also different from the West Coast variants. The West Coast variants are high pitched while this variant is louder and lower pitched.

Mister Gutsy
This Mister Gutsy is a US military variant commonly encountered in the Capital Wasteland. They can be generally be found in various warehouses across the Capital Wasteland and are always hostile towards the player.

Enclave Mister Gutsy
The Enclave Gutsies are very similar to their free roaming wasteland counterparts, with the exception of their paint scheme. Instead of the normal matte olive green of the U.S. Army Gutsies, these feature a dark metallic color. Their optical sensors also differ from the standard yellow, instead being a menacing deep red. They can be encountered at Raven rock, Adams Air Force Base and the Satellite relay station. Unlike sentry bots they will not spawn alongside Enclave soldier Vertibird drops.

Behind the scenes

 * "HUA!", often seen written: 'Hooah' (pronounced /ˈhuːˌɑː/) is an acronym for, "Heard, Understood, Acknowledged." Used only by the U.S. Army, (the Navy, Marines and Air Force have a different variation of their own), referring to, or meaning: "anything and everything except no."
 * The lines "Box me up and ship me home", "Pin my medals upon my chest..." and "...tell my momma I did my best..." are a reference to a military running cadence. It became famous in Full Metal Jacket.
