Chapter 3 Input Needed! Favourite or New Robot Personalities.

How about expanding on the Graygarden robots with a robot comedian based on the king of one-liners, Henny Youngman. Could be Edward Gray's more personal robot that he tried to program to have a similar sense of humor.

Some examples of Henny Youngman:
"You know what's embarrassing? Looking through a keyhole and seeing another eye."

"Quick, hide!"
"Where's your backdoor?"
"I don't have one!"
"Where would you like one?"
 
A religious zealot bot, a few options.

A mormon-esque bot who is always asking if you've heard of glorious atom, gives you religious sermons and rad-a-gain, it's like like rad-away but better because if gives you atoms glow.

A crusader bot, (maybe with some ties to the enclave for all the fans that were asking for that), who is hell bent on purifying the wastes. Decked out in holy hand granades and a sword, attacks ghouls and mutants alike. Maybe plays some latin chanting while he is at it.
 
How about a deadpan literal reprogrammed bot like K-2SO from Rogue One, Actually any robot with "personality issues" would be great, another good example might be Marvin from Hitchhikers Guide.

A NukaTron that dispenses sodas a la Buddy.... and actually if there was a way to do the same with a Vim bot it would also be cool, though probably much more work for your art people since there isn't a VimTron model.

It may be because I love KL-E-O but I love the idea of Assaultrons that have intense personalities, maybe one who is having a crisis about killing when they are literally built to be combatants. Really more assaultrons with personality at all would make me happy.
 
Philosophically inclined robot concerned with problems like "Are humans really conscious?" "Am I a circuit board on a bench and my sensory input a simulated datastream?" "How many vacuum tubes does an entity need before we accord it civil rights?" etc.
 
another one could be a bad guy who transferred himself into a computer/robot and has been scheming for decades/centuries a la Arnim Zola from Captain America: Winter Soldier. Extra bonus points if you guys find a way to do it with a securitron style model instead of the obvious robobrain.

Janitorial mechanoid, very fastidious, "incapable" of lying. :)

Bonus points for mentioning Red Dwarf! :)
 
- A robot that constantly complains about chores even though it's only good at that, and sometimes acknowledges this fact sadly. It would be making sassy comments all the time about humans being dirty and ungrateful masters that lack compassion, always give it more work and no break, no joy. It cannot fight either, because it's not made for it, and it's a coward. It secretly dreams of being famous, as an artist, like a singer, or an actor, or even maybe as a starred chef! But it has no talent, cannot sculpt, draw or paint (or maybe something very... conceptual and contemporary? Anyway 23rd century scavengers aren't interested in that, maybe it could comment on humans being ignorant pricks that don't understand art), it cannot sing and only plays pre-recorded music while acting like it's the singer, it cannot play or awfully like it makes voices and impressions that nobody gets, but it would discover it brings itself happiness when it cooks, because it can cook perfectly like a chef because it's a domestic robot so its database have tons of recorded recipes and stuff, and humans do love what it cooks so they make it proud. It would be cool that among its impressions or songs it would have different voices, and it's neither male or female. It could be funny if it had treadmills and made a reference to that butter robot from Rick & Morty, or maybe I just like that little robot too much.

- A hunter Mister Gutsy covered in scratches that talks a bit like Elmer Fudd because somehow it used to be assigned to US Forest Service or National Park Service, hence the hunter character, but also (as a Mister Gutsy) acts a bit like a drill instructor, like he's very cocky and claims he can cleanly shoot both of a radstag's heads with a single shot from miles away, and he belittles everyone claiming they cannot get better than him, and he insults them for their own good. Though when in an actual fight he would be scared and sometimes scream out of fear, then he would say he's not scared and others are wimps. When confronted he actually admits he prefers laying traps and waiting for a good opportunity to take down any prey, rather than engaging in a fight. He also claims he's sad when he kills a mighty prey - but actually he's sad to kill any living thing. He would reveal at some point that the scratches on his paint were made by his colleagues' dogs that became feral; when the bombs fell, the dogs were the only living survivors in his workplace as the dogs were kept in a kennel and their humans were outside, so he was overly attached to those dogs and when they eventually became ghoul-like and aggressive because of rads he couldn't kill them but ultimately had to as they attacked him; killing any living thing reminds him of those dogs. This trauma made him protect himself by behaving as a soldier like he was intended to. Nevertheless, his skills are still very good, and he's very knowledgeable about nature, animals, flora, wildlife: for centuries he learnt about it, before and after the Great War, he saw the evolution of species and Earth, making him a very valuable asset.

I really like the park ranger robot idea.
 
I have a few!

A four legged sentry-bot prototype like the ones in New Vegas' museum exhibit, with something to prove due to an inferiority complex over the production model so basically a giant chip on his shoulder (alongside the shoulder-mounted miniguns) but that might require too much effort.

(This was mostly inspired by the fact I never saw anybody capitalise on that sentry prototype, despite it being an interesting interpretation).

Also, an eyebot that has been made to look more like the floating eyes from the OG fallouts, that can only communicate in snippets of different conversations spliced together? So like it will use a different voice for each word with different intonations that don't necessarily match up? Maybe it's even going through an identity crisis or something?

Once again the physical aspect is probably too much but the other part is doable.

Edit:

@AJuniper on your Nukatron or Vimtron ideas, right... Hear me out... A Nukatron converted to dispense Vim! and it is really displeased.

Be it due to brand loyalt (programmed or otherwise) or a fear of fish (since vim? It be made with fish, ayyyyyeeee)
