Robobrain (Fallout: New Vegas)

Robobrains are robots found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Gameplay attributes
Robobrains appear in the Mojave, though they are much rarer than they are in the Capital Wasteland. One can be found overlooking Hoover Dam, working for the NCR. There are also hostile robobrains at HELIOS One, Vault 11, the H&H Tools Factory and Big MT. These robobrains have male voices, unlike the robobrains of the Capital Wasteland, who have female voices.

X-8 robobrain (Old World Blues)
This robobrain variant was created by gene splicing a lobotomite and Mister Orderly, an experiment run on a terminal in the X-8 research center. Its purpose was to see the effects of gene splicing humans and robots, which subsequently gave the original brain of the robot a state of awareness. After the splice it will wander around the platform it was created on, asking questions about its own existence and explode shortly after. This is a joke to the famous book by Douglas Adams, Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, where a whale is formed from thin air and questions its existence before dying shortly after.

Robobrain Mark series (Old World Blues)
The Mark series of robobrains were made to protect Big MT not only from attacks or intruders, but also from corporate espionage.

U.S. Army robobrain
The U.S. Army robobrain was developed by the U.S. military, in order to replace soldiers on the front line in an attempt to gain the upper hand against the Chinese.

Test dummy robobrain
The test dummy robobrain did not appear in the final version of the base game.
