Without giving away too much one of my projects for Chapter 3 is to "make Robots Great again"!

I'm looking for idea's for SS Robots personalities or characters that you would like to see in Chapter 3.

The vanilla NPC robots in the game already have well established personalities so we want to develop new characters and approaches. These robots will be SS aware and will comment and interact with the game and the SS systems.

Existing SS2 Robots (Mr Handsy, OMOR etc) are excluded from this discussion (they are being developed separately! :O )

One example I love is HK-47 from KOTOR.
  • "That was a close one. I almost surrendered completely to peace and pacifism. How repugnant."
  • "As a meatbag would say: 'I have a bad feeling about this.'"

I look forward to reading your ideas.

In my continuing attempt to get Frank la Dank and Ron as settlers, my vote is Greg
 
I don’t know that I would even call this an idea, but reading this made the, “How do you do, fellow kids?” Meme pop in my head… so, like a Mr. Handy character who refuses to acknowledge he’s a robot and just keeps spouting lines like that, like he’s trying to just declare himself part of the human group, talks about being hungry - “Oh, I just did put away a noodle bowl, you go ahead though.” - in battle calls out that he’s bleeding but suddenly says he’s just healed himself… “oh, did you miss all the blood? Eeesh, good luck for you, it was ghastly.” Etc. Etc.
 
Simple an Assaulttron that has the voice of a Sentry bot and that of an Assulttron combined, maybe make it looks a little scratched built and sometimes it gets confused as to where it is.
 
I always feel sorry for the Assaultron that you find following Dogmeat to track down Kellogg.

Perhaps a salvage mission and restoration project for that bot.
Personality wise, It could always be nervous or twitchy, "fearful" of combat situations and have some difficulty moving about because repairs weren't entirely successful due to extreme damage. Head ajar, tilted to one side perhaps.
It would be a pacifist now, with preference for doing robot repairs in HQ's Robot Lab, being grateful for having been restored.
 
How about something like Buddy? I'm so often torn between keeping him and sending him to Hotel Rexford. A friendly robot bartender that gives jokes and sells cold beer.
And a Mr Gutsy that easily gets scared? Or has received programming for nursing or engineering, but keeps the attitude. Kinda like Sawbones from Fallout 3.
And there's a Miss Nanny test in the robot factory, so let's have one that failed the test somehow (maybe reference to Mrs Doubtfire, have her be sweet and caring but not very good at basic household chores.)
Looking forward to see what you come up with!
 
There are a lot of famous Robots
While HK-47 is iconic it is also a really niche reference to only those that played KoToR
The problem is what is the purpose of the character - as it drastically changes the most ideal representation.

GLaDOS - is quite a bit more fame under her belt with the same twisted attitude as HK-47 essentially a female representation of HK
Bender - Futurama, Lazy, Perverted, Criminal - but absolutely hilarious - would fit perfectly in Fallout universe
B1000 ( Brahamin Terminator ) - a classic Fallout Tactics Reference. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/B1000_(special_encounter)
CL4P-TP - The Bot that everyone loves to Hate - yet an iconic brand icon.
 
These robots will be SS aware and will comment and interact with the game and the SS systems.

Since RobCo were involved in making both robobrains and ASAMs, perhaps the person who invented the ASAMs turned themselves into a robobrain like the Vault 118 residents. So you and Jake get to meet the inventor of ASAMs and maybe they give you some insights into it. Voiced by Kinggath! :grin
 
I honest-to-god wish I had input but I’ve got nothing. All I’ve got to say is that I too am a Robot Appreciator and want robots everywhere. Robots, robots, and more robots.
MALA is my precious child. My sweet sweet baby. Codsworth is my fave companion.
You have my wholehearted support.
