Humanoid(ish) Securitrons

[Cusconillow]

I was somewhat disappointed in how comical the supposedly deadly securitrons looked. Especially the faces. Woopty doo! It's a football pad looking robot with a seemingly grinning soldiers face on a tv. When they get mad their expression changes? How fancy! And the Mark II upgrade? Oh RED FACES! Holy crap that's scary! .....No. These are supposed to be the most deadly and top-of-the-line state-of-the-art killers in the Mojave. Should be able to easily kill a Deathclaw after the Mark II update, yet they look like a one-legged metal football player with no head. I think they'd be much more intimidating and actually stand up to their threatening reputation if they were a bit more humanoid-like. Such as, remove the TV out of their chest and place an actual head on the top of the bot? Make two legs with wheels on them? This mod idea is quite open-ended. Nothing too specific. Just add a bit more of a lethal look to something that seems so questionable as a killer. I think my biggest qualm is them not having a head, though. Whoever wants to take up this request can iron out the details however he or she pleases since they'd be doing the work, I'm just saying I think a somewhat more humanoid shape (with a head ^_^) would look more intimidating.

 

Also, this may sound stupid, but it may not even be a humanoid look that makes it better. That's just what imagine. For all I know, It may look scarier with no head, seventeen legs, five arms, and antennae. I don't know. That's just what I see.

 

Post under this ideas for it to help whoever wants to make this mod a reality.

Gotta say I agree they look rather pathetic. Maybe not a human head. Maybe.. more guns! A big rocket launcher or gattling gun for a head? Maybe spikes, sawblades, Chainsaws blades, shoulder cannons, Arcing or glowing things are good too. Big blades with guns on them for arms. like the entire arm is a huge blade facing outwards.

 

They need something, thats for sure.

I agree with what has been said. But, do you want to keep them lore friendly or let imagination take to its wings and soar?

 

I will see what i can come up with using 3ds Max and the original securitron.

 

Edit: Heres something i came up with. (it was quick)

@ HlaineLarkin

 

Honestly, I don't really know how it would affect lore much. Either way, I'm not too worried about lore when it comes to this. I think that design is pretty cool. Not bad. I mean, sure keep it somewhat lore-friendly I guess? But like I said, this isn't necessarily all for me but more for the general community.

 

Maybe kind of looking like the robots from the movie: Real Steel?

Or maybe similar to this?

I'm not solid sure on what I really want. Like I said, this is a really general request to just make such a non-threatening thing much more fierce.

 

And by the way, Thanks for even taking the time to try this. ^_^

[HlaineLarkin]

no worries. I will try and get in touch with a friend of mine, MjrMoose.

He has a very creative mind and we will see what he can come up with.

I like this idea, i think they can keep their general shape, the one wheel is the only thing that fits with how they move, I think the one wheel base with a humanoid torso would be sick. Black tho, and slimmed down. Really long arms would be cool. Maybe a small mini gun on his shoulder. Spikes are a good idea

 

And then throw a cowboy hat on victors model

i went and visited MjrMoose in hospital today. I told him bout your idea.

We were talking through what you can do to make the securitrons more fierce.

He told me bout this great fantasy artist named Keith Thompson.

Keith came up with a cyborg of sorts that would fit in nicely with the lore but look mean as.

Here is a pic of it

Mechanised Corpse

MjrMoose said you change the corpse for a ghoul, The legs for the mono wheel,

maybe change an arm for a weapon or add mechanics to make the arm strong enough to hold a weapon.

 

He said it was only an idea and he will keep at it

Heres something i threw together using only parts out of New Vegas.

I took what was said above but also ran with what i thought would be cool.

Keep in mind that this is a quick job and im want to hear and see what others come up with.

cool

 

or could do reverse a body with a "computer" head that contro the body normal legs and arms

I agree also that the securitrons looked rather comical. But looking at the theme of Fallout 3/ FNV, many things where "quirky". If I where to design a robot to install fear or appear dangerous, I would go the route of the tanks "HK" or the T-1 from the Terminator movies and the T-600 or T-800 for a more humanoid type. Other scary-humanoid type robot options:

 

-The robot from "Saturn 3"

-The war robot from "Judge Dread"
