Mister Gutsy

“The Mister Gutsy was created by General Atomics International as a combat alternative to its domestic Mister Handy robot.” — Fallout 4 loading screens
Mister Gutsies are a type of robot found in the Commonwealth and Nuka-World in 2287.
Background A dedicated combat variant of their civilian Mister Handy, the Mister Gutsy series was developed by General Atomics International. It was commissioned by the United States Army shortly before the atomic apocalypse of 2077, with the first units seeing service in the liberation of Anchorage in January, at least according to the Anchorage Reclamation simulation. The Mr. Gutsy is a personal protection automaton and comes equipped with heavier armor than most utility robots. It also carries a plasma weapon to be used in defense. The shell was rebuilt with lightweight armor plating, while the usual array of tools was upgraded with a plasma caster on a flexible mount. The key advantage of Mister Gutsies that separates it from other combat robots is its sheer maneuverability and spatial awareness. The Mister Gutsy is also upgraded with dedicated military software, including the ability to refuse orders issued by commanders who are incompetent or under court martial, remote link-up capability for updating orders in real time, and a brand-new Sergeant Major v.1.0 simulated personality that channeled the stereotypical Marine drill instructor and doubled as a vessel for state propaganda.
However, in its rush to present the Army with a working model, General Atomics cut corners and the resulting personality had issues stemming from vague definitions used in programming its neural network. The most notable of these was the fact that in the absence of orders, units defaulted to a patrol mode and attacked all unauthorized personnel with extreme violence, as per combat protocol Charlie Zulu 4. The military accepted these flaws, pressing them into service. They first bore MGZ-##### serials, before transitioning to the standard ABC-##### nomenclature. To distinguish between different variants of the robot, ranks were used: The baseline version was named Mister, with subsequent variants designated Sergeant, Lieutenant, Major and Colonel. A specialized field medic model was derived from the basic Mister Gutsy, with all combat functionality disabled and an encyclopedic knowledge of medical procedures, particularly surgery.
Characteristics Unlike the previous versions, the Commonwealth variants have several different weapon configurations installed, including but not limited to automatic weapon and laser weapon mounts. Their bodies, eyes, arms can now be broken in combat. The words "Mister Handy" are written on the backside of their body.
Variants Mr. Gutsy Despite its somewhat adequate health pool and low Damage Resistance, the Mister Gutsy is still a force to be reckoned with, as its 10mm submachine gun is capable of shredding low-level player characters and even power armor equipped player characters in seconds.
Brotherhood Mr. Gutsy This variant can be found aboard the Prydwen in the science section assisting Senior Scribe Neriah, and is especially protective of the plants in that section. It will comment if the player character takes any plants.
Gunner Mr. Gutsy The Gunner Mister Gutsy is usually found fighting alongside the Gunners.
Lieutenant Gutsy Similar to the original Mister Gutsy, however, it has a moderately accurate (and moderate damage) laser weapon in place of a 10mm submachine gun and a much larger Hit Point pool as well as higher stats concerning damage resistances. It would appear that this model was given command authority.
Major Gutsy An upgraded variant of the Lieutenant Gutsy, now having 200 more Hit Points than its predecessor and a higher damage laser weapon, but has the same Damage and Energy Resistances.
Gunner Major Gutsy An upgraded variant of the Gunner Mister Gutsy that can be found fighting alongside the Gunners.
Colonel Gutsy A Mister Gutsy with an even stronger laser, largely inflated damage and energy resistances, nearly 700 Hit Points and 1 extra point in Perception totaling it at 8; putting it on par with an assaultron. Colonel Gutsy appears when the player character reaches level 46 or higher. These level with the player character.
Gunner Colonel Gutsy The most powerful Mister Gutsy seen fighting alongside the Gunners, essentially an upgraded version of the Gunner Major Gutsy.
Guard Gutsy Several Guard Gutsies can be found guarding the General Atomics Galleria. The Director is a Guard Gutsy.
Cadet Astro-Gutsy A basic variant of space Mr. Gutsies, with Nuka-World color scheme, very low stats and "space" laser weapons. Found in the Galactic Zone.
Lieutenant Astro-Gutsy A Mr. Gutsy variant with Nuka-World color scheme, lower stats and space laser weapons. Found in the Galactic Zone.
Commander Astro-Gutsy A more powerful Mr. Gutsy variant found in the Galactic Zone of Nuka-World.
Captain Astro-Gutsy The most powerful Astro-Gutsy variant in the Galactic Zone, with the largest health pool and damage resistance.
