I have one sentry bot (MKIV) in Sanctuary and be able to turn it on if enemies approaches, but I like to have assaultrons as well. There should be a way to hire these as well. I *know* there will be such mods, but for the console players as well. Some magazines like total hack could be available. You just need to sneak behind and hack it and take it to your settlement.

The recent beta patch allows you to hack robots during combat, check it out.

Thank you mucha gracias. I will check out, but alone. It happens that mine companions have the habit to attack everything that is "red" / hostiles

With a very high sneak ability I've managed to sneak up and hack two assaultrons and several sentry bots. Heck, I even had a sentry bot with me when I took on Kellogg. Assaultrons seem to have a very high perception score so sneaking up on them can be pretty difficult but it can be done.

What I really wish they would change is how a robot that is flagged as an enemy before you hack it will try and wipe out an entire settlement if you take it into town. I've hacked the thing! It should do what I tell it!

You can hack aussaltrons but when you take them to a settlement the settlers don't like it and turn on them.

They also get attacked by the BOS on sight.

That's where i get this one.
