Physical Description

Metallic, mechanical creations of the post-war world, scrap-bots are


mankind's best attempt to cobble together the scraps of machinery left
behind into their prior form; exemplars of old world blues. Bearing the
visage and silhouette of pre-war machines, their rusted, welded
appearances reveal their true nature, with their builders often using
home appliances, broken weapons, and even bone to fill in the gaps.
From protectrons, to eyebots, to even sentry bots, scavengers across the
wastes have attempted to bring pre-war power into their hands, though
scrap-bots rarely fit their pre-war counterparts' strength.

History

Since mankind watched the bombs fall, they have yearned to reverse
their destruction; to resurrect the past. Typically partially-reconstructed
robots initially designed by RobCo Industries or General Atomics
International, some of the earliest scrap-bot projects were began before
the bombs even dropped by those with access to bits and pieces of
replacement parts or scrapyards, though doing so was largely illegal.
Since then, numerous civilizations and raider gangs have constructed
their own scrap-bots to wage war on those around them.

personality module. Due to their finnicky nature and higher-than-zero Various robots that served as scrap-

firmware, leaving them emotionless workers capable of a limited number
of tasks from authorized individuals.

When installed with a proper personality matrix, or even an uploaded ZAX artificial intelligence, scrap-
bots are as versatile and capable, if not moreso, than an average human. Such scrap-bots are often
preprogrammed to be at least favorable, if not entirely subservient, to the one that created them.

Scrap-Bot Names
