I felt that there are some ideas that just would be amazing to be in the Automatron dlc.

For example:

- The ability to customise an assault-tron so it can transform into a motorbike.

Any half-vehicle half-battle robot hybrid really.

- A sentry bot, with fat man launchers for arms

- any other robot with missile launcher arms

- A feature of your robots "tricking" other robots. This would mean, for example, if you have a protecton follower, any other protectrons will automatically become allied to you (or at least neutral).

- a self destruct command. Make sure never to install this on your really powerful robot followers.

- Solar panels. they do more damage when in sunlight. say, 50% more.

As a side point, i feel like new perks should be added too. Not on the perk tree maybe, but ones that you get as a reward for one of the quests in the dlc?

Perks like:

- Tech Whiz - You can now hack robots and devices by interacting with them, instead of finding their terminal.

- Solar powered (could also be a modification) - Your robotic companions deal 50% more damage in sunlight.

Also, new power armour upgrades, for example:

- Enhanced EMP shield - Robots that melee attack you have a chance to be instantly deactivated.

-Remote control, 'nuff said.

I think the Assaultron transforming into a motorbike is a bit of a stretch, but the rest sounds good.

Assaultron

- Laser upgrade having a longer range

- being able to exchange her ripper for a ranged weapon, like a small calibre machine gun or so, or maybe additional laser weapon

- energy shield

- self-repair mechanism that would regenerate her health, also backed by a visual animation of two separate body parts coming together or so

- different melee weapon options

- ability to " mark " enemies for greater armour penetration

Sentry bot

- Ability to dig in literally, and become a static turret and increase armour for the duration of the dig in

- Be able to provide supressing fire, pinning enemies down.

- Targeting Assistance AI, increasing your VATS hit chance and adding more accuracy to " hip-fire " shots.

- Artillery barrage , ordering massive ordnance at cost of accuracy at a distanced target

- replacing one arm with a close combat weapon

- ability to add a heavy flamethrower and heavy shotgun arm

These come to mind so far.

I really really really just hope that it's multiple robots we can own/customize and not just 1 or 2.

all robots have a self destruct command

But that is something that they only use when all of their arms are crippled, or at a certain point. I am talking about being able to just tell one of your robots "go run at them and explode".

ARMS! Arms Everywhere!!!!1

Fisto subroutines engaged.

Can I get a beholder type eyebot? Ill be going for that if yes
