HPU-3

Heavy Power Unit Mk IIIs, otherwise known as HPU-3s, are a Megacorp combat robot model. They are commonly seen used as heavy security for Megacorp facilities, and are seen in the armies and security forces of many neutral clients who buy from Megacorp.

Description
HPU-3s are tall, armored humanoid robots, built with a rather flat non-humanoid head with a single glowing optic. By default, they have dull silver paint and some red paint on their shoulders. While they are usually equipped with a handheld weapon, they are also equipped with a retractable energy blade on their left forearm, and a retractable energy armgun.

Capabilities
HPU-3s are armored with heavy Imperialite armor, allowing them to survive large amounts of physical, energy, and supernatural attacks. They have advanced Robotic Asset Equipment, protecting them from other threats. Their advanced targeting sensors make them highly effective combatants, and they also sport great physical strength and an energy blade, allowing them to neutralize threats at close range. Their built-in armgun is mainly a close-range backup weapon, as they can pick up and use standard handheld weaponry, which can give them far more firepower than their standard issue Megacorp LIR-57 rifles. They are able to grab and manipulate objects other than weapons, although they have showcased some difficulties with very small objects. Like Imperial Sentinels, they can fold up into rectangular prisms for easy storage. The HPU-3s have standard intelligence functions, able to communicate with organics and other robots, although comminication with organics tends to be simple, as HPU-3s are not designed to hold prolonged conversations. They do not hold emotional capabilities, and are able to work with each other to formulate defensive and offensive strategies.

Background
Heavy Power Units were an original Megacorp model, created after the Trans-Galactic War. The current and most popular model, Mark III, has shown considerable combat capabilities in the Megacorp Security Force, which boosted their popularity among clients in No Man's Space.
