Liberty Prime



Liberty Prime is a U.S. Army pacification robot. He is put back into service by the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel after they find him in the basement of The Citadel. He was originally designed before the war to aid American troops in the liberation of Alaska from communist China. However, he was not completed on schedule, and America was forced to fight a long bloody battle. He appears to consume a massive amount of power, as even the Brotherhood of Steel was unable to power him properly even with the advanced tech discovered inside the Pentagon. He is capable of manufacturing "mini-nukes" out of his large back-pack, he can remove a nuke from it's mount on his back, and throw it like a football. His other weapons include super powerful twin laser rifles stored in his head. He also appears to have an Energy Shield, as he can sustain massive amounts of damage and short out energy barrier fields by forcefully walking into them. His massive size and streangth count as weapons too, he is endowed with strength befitting a forty foot tall robot, and can rip anything in his path to shreds... if he doesn't step on it first. He also constantly gives out anti-communist phrases.

Appearance
Liberty Prime is a massive, forty-foot-tall robot war machine stored in the basement below the Citadel. It is humanoid in shape.

Appearances
Liberty Prime appears only in Fallout 3, first in the lab underneath the citidel, in his inactive state. He acts as a juggernaut of super doom, smashing, destroying, and nuke-lobbing his way through any and all opposition from the Citadel to the Jefferson Memorial, where he stays until the end of the game.

Trivia

 * Liberty Prime's name is a reference to Optimus Prime, of Transformers fame, and their voices sound remarkably similar. Liberty Prime's battle dialogue is often quite humorous, even given the desperate cricumstances. For example, while shooting down multiple Enclave Vertibirds like a human would swat at flies, Prime declares in his booming voice that "Death is preferrable to Communisim!"


 * It is possible to listen to him speak before he's acctualy fully on-line, at his feet, in the citidel lab, there is a terminal, accessing the terminal allows you to run a voice test. It is best heard by adjusting the volume on your game turing "Master" and "Voice" all the way up, then maybe even upping your TV or Computer's volume


 * The nukes he throws, despite being quite a bit larger then the mini-nuke, have the same blast, this maybe because Bethesda wanted to limit the amount of damage he could do to the player, or it could be explained cannonicly as there being advances made in the miniturization of nuclear weapons since Liberty Prime's pre-war construction.
