TL12-Bender-Unit

Note: Yes, I am well aware that SJGames makes a game called Toon.  Now excuse me while I wounder about the scan rating of the smelloscope.

Bender units are made for bending things so they have above human strength.

Futurama lacks power cells or portable nuclear power plants, so robots are powered by turbines.  In order not to stink too badly they burn alcohol rather than diesel fuel.  The sound and IR masking allow indoor use and are not intended to stealth the robot.

Mom's robot company apparently has a little quality control problem in the manufacture of robot brains so Mom's robots tend to have lots of mental disadvantages.  (But at least it helps balance out the character point costs.)

A generic Bender Unit (as detailed below) would have the following character write up.

ST 20, DX 14, IQ 11, HT 12/2, SP 7

CPs: Stats 140, Brain 100, Senses 34, Comm 16, Armor 120, Ugly -10, Reputation: unreliable(-1) -5 for a grand total of 395.

Bender himself has at least the following disadvantages:  Status(Servant) -5, OPH("Kill all humans", etc) -10, Poor -15, Valuable Property -10, Smokes -5, Bad Temper -10, Bully -10, Cowardice -10, Gluttony (Alcohol) -5, Greed -15, Gullibility -10, Impulsulsiveness -10, Intolerance of humans who date robot babes -5, Kleptomania -15, Laziness -10, Lecherousness -15, Evil Twin (Flexo, rare) -5, Extremely Hazardous Duty -20, and Callous -6 for a total of 191 so his net cost is 204 plus skills and possibly a patron/owner.

Design notes: The head detaches and can bounce around on its neck motor.

Fuel: 1.5 gal standard fuel tank (fire modifier -2), 1.5 gal alcohol fuel (fire 10).
