📋 About This Mod
CUSTOM ROBOT FOLLOWERS 3
Aims to bring you some notable robots from Sci-fi to the Mojave for you to have as companions.
T3-M4 - "Wasteland grot bag version", "Clean version"
T3-M4 can be found at the Repconn rocket facility, he has been trapped inside a special research section. You can only gain entrance once you have cleared the debris away from the doors (see picture and use your imagination). He is voiced and has a few handy features that you might expect from him.
Swiftus - "One version"
Not really a notable Sci-fi robot, Swiftus is a spin-off from my Flying Mine Bot mod. No he won't run up to an enemy then promptly explode, instead he has a rather unique weapon. You can find Swiftus at the Novac Abandoned Shack, see screen shots.
Oblivion Drone - "Wasteland grot bag version", "Clean version"
This is a re-release for the Drone.
The Drone "RD 101" can be found under the Repconn head quaters by taking the elevator (see screen shot), you will find minor Repconn defenses. People who have downloaded the resource mod of the Oblivion Drone there are minor changes in the movement animation files, if you leave them in as loose files they will dominate the later versions in the BSA and 101 will then only move like a wet Sunday.
Imperial Probe Droid - "Clean version"
The Imperial Probe Droid can be found after a short fetch quest, you will need to find the radio tower as shown in the screen shots and search around the skeleton. The droids entry is an animated and scripted event, if your frame rate is below par then there may be timing issues and the sequence will not play out as intended.
Fix any bugs which come to light.
Added the Imperial Probe Droid as the 4th and final robot for this mod, added knock down ragdolling and getting back up animations for all robots.
