So from what I'm read we will be able to make sentry bot companions as well as assaultron companionso in the new automatron dlc, what, do you guys think about this?

I think they need to improve AI of sentrybot a lot... especially about finding the right pathway to destination....

Anyway, it will be super fun.

Cannot wait till I build one, and I am glad it`s the first DLC we get.

I think it's a brilliant idea for a mod... not a paid DLC.I hope you will be able to choose the type of personality you want for your robot.

Sounds fun. I like how you will be able to customize it with all the options.

The press release says "The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots" - I do hope that it's The Mechanist from Fallout 3! Maybe another future DLC will bring the AntAgonizer in to introduce Fire Ants into the Commonwealth and let you have other animal/insect pets as companions


Also, really glad to see the return of the Robobrain!

Honestly, the first thing I'm going to do is build an ED-E. Sentry bots be damned! I bet those things won't even be able to path correctly.

A KLEO in every home will come true.

To be fair, it's only a part of the DLC. There is quest based content to go with it.

I wonder if since we have the ability to build more, the robots we build can be killed/destroyed.
Will they be "real" companions, or basically consumables?

I hope we can build a synth-3 robot.

I want the same as the poster above.

This. I wanna build my own Sonny

pretty sure I massacred the mechanist and the antagoniser in FO3, so I'm guessing it will be someone who has raided the mechanists lair.

I want the ability to build a real Frankenstein's monster of a robot. Chop and change as I see fit.

I guarantee it will be ugly as sh*t, but I'll call it Chimera or something and it'll be splendidly horrific.

I'd call it Marcy Long.

How incredibly fitting.

I'd probably develop a sudden urge to push them off the top of the Mass Fusion Building though, so I'll have to think it over.

You could call it Nazeem after Whiterun's favourite citizen.

I demand the ability to put a saddle on the sentry bot to ride it and bring hellfire down upon my enemies on top of my mechanized chariot of death and annihilation.

Well, I mean, I think there's an actual Tank in Boston, so that Sentry Bot had better come with some kind of jet propulsion to make it worthwhile.

And rainbows. Can't forget those.

I want my own Assaultron Dominator

After hundreds of battles and seeing Assaultron Dominator in action against other creatures..


I suspect if Assaultron Dominator`s attacks ignore all damage resistance... it kills enemies with level higher than 150 very fast.

I think KLEO would make a great companion. Until she got paranoid and killed you. A robot girl can't be too careful you know.

I am not going to lie despite not being as big as Far Harbor the automatron DLC is the one I am interested the most. We know Far Harbor is going to add lots of content and a new landmass that looks gorgeous but we don't know much of what we might find on it. But the Automatron DLC gives a lot of new possibilities to the game, new enemies, new weapons, new builds, you can probably create a character entirely focus on technology who avoids guns and depends entirely on his creations. Not to mention the mods that will be available for it, even the robotic waifu mods that will come for it sound interesting to me. What if they let us remotely control our robots? What if we can create synths? what about the powerful roaming bosses that will be around the commonwealth? will they be the new secret bosses for endgame characters? I also wonder if we will be able to mod Codsworth. Now compare it with the Far Harbor, new landmass with more synths more of those atom childs crazy dudes, and a new story on what seems to be a water oriented DLC... it doesn't sound as great as having your own crafted robot.

I would love to have my own assault tron type robot to follow me around. I wished from the start that K.L.E.O was a follower heh. "I'm a woman, can't you tell?" she cracks me up all the time.

But other then having sentrybots at my settlements I see absolutely ZERO use for them. Its easy enough to lose followers in the environment because they can't figure out how to take the same path as you.

I want one. Probably name it Hal just for kicks (Have it turn on me later, lol). Or maybe Arnold.

Could always use one more six toy.

Sentry Bot not my cup of tea, but I'm glad it'll be an option for those who want it. The Assaultron, however, we shall roam the Commonwealth and lay waste to my enemies and grind their bones for bread.

Eyebot, please

I had one glitch out and follow me around for awhile until Strong killed it
