TR-3 Terror Wheel

This robot came into heavy use in the early part of the 21st century, mostly
as a means of keeping hostile civilians in line, but also very useful against
infantry and light battlesuits.  Anything heavier (or an infantry unit with
heavy weapons) will be able to break through the armor and seriously damage
or destroy a TR-3.
Terror Wheels mostly saw service in urban or highly developed rural areas,
where their drivetrain was of most use.

The WR-3's arms are long, metal, segmented tentacles that are flexible enough
to function as a human hand and can extend to twice their length (Question
here:  how do you determine the length of an arm... I think the tentacles
should be about 2 or 3 inches in diamater at their widest point?), very
useful for strangling people and tossing them about like rag dolls...

I am probably going to design more such 'bots, culiminating in the sentient
TL11 bot... the Wheel of Fortune!!  :D  get it?  I slay me!!!
