sketches

humanoid configuration
current morphology [variable], suitable for ground based, high speed attack. powerful jumping capacity

variable endo-skeleton
standard micro-skeletal units with dedicated musculature
offer unlimited combat configuration possibilities. when limbs are retracted, armour plates cover entire unit.


electro-active polymer [EAP] musculature
generic cellular muscle units suspended in heat dissipating lubricant fluid. when pumped into a muscle sac they link to form muscle strands
- instant muscle mass on demand


kinetic ablation armour
nano engineered crystalline layers constantly regenerated from the inside out with stored and mined material. looses one or more layers when hit with kinetic impact, absorbs all inertia. thermal ablation built in where needed.

projectile weapon
ultrahigh velocity chemical explosive powered machine gun. self propelled case less 30mm rounds.
morphing shells, flight arc downloaded on detonation. helical multifeed ammo canister.


no cns
each limb and major body part has complete cns [central nervous system]. operate in unison.

mobility feet
all terrain ability, mine sensing, blast pin claws for non horizontal surface manoeuvring. setae pad intermolecular force generators.

sensors
main eyes [full em spectrum] augmented with sensors covering body. air pressure, thermal, acoustic etc.

defence ejectors
launch nano-cloud canisters. some spray protective foam to form a cocoon or barrier.
