Every Notable Protectron in Fallout

[@SproingBoing]

Insult Bot, hands down. He caught me after a firefight during my first foray into the Ash Heap, and hit me with "One of us is slow, friendless, and completely devoid of personaility. The other is a Protectron. ZING!" I was completely flabbergasted as I took the "YOU'VE BEEN INSULTED" printout and watched him walk away. As he was going, I faintly heard him say something about contacting the burn ward and it broke me for the next 10 minutes. 🤣

I was recently playing through Olney in 3 and I activated one only for it to get one-shot by a Deathclaw as it opened its first door. I felt so bad I reverted save and left it in its charging pod 😂

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

It cleared a building in Fallout 4 for me, but sadly he saw me as an enemy too and I couldn't deactivate it

[@jacob5169]

I think the only time a Protectron has had a meaningful impact in combat was in the Pitt DLC, where four can be activated at once when you're getting steel. It also helps that you're going into it with limited supplies, so it feels even more impactful.

[@MisterJohnDoe]

Or you've already cleared the place and you find the pod while you're searching around.

[@darkninjacorporation]

I wish we could meet Rock-o-Bot. Or better yet, have him as a companion. Also I feel bad for the bots of 76. They seem to be much more intelligent and self aware, maybe because much less time has gone by since the bombs dropped than in fallout 3 or 4.

I can put up with the super mutants existing 25 years after the bombs, I can deal with the brotherhood of steel being in West Virginia then too.

The 50's thing is just supposed to be an aesthetic/background. The devs and writers have always said it's not meant to actually be the 50's frozen in time. Society decided that fashion and entertainment weren't as important as advancement when we first harnessed the atom, but that doesn't mean that teenagers didn't become edgier with each passing generation as they got sick of a world that emphasized work and neglected recreation. My least favorite thing about fallout 3 is how all of the sudden, wastelanders start acting like 50's caricatures

[@originalname610]

If you get to ada's caravan quick enough Hertz will still be fighting and functioning, he will likely be killed by the robots and even if you save him he dies after the fight anyway.

[@Bxssxn]

Gotta give 76 credit where credits due, there are some nice, unique protectrons with good stories within the game.

[@corbingarrison7167]

Surprised the wood gathering bots in 76 weren’t mentioned, they helped a lot in my early game

[@crazyhorse2730]

I actually have them in my camp on my settler playthrough

[@xaosbob]

They're unique, but as a group rather than individuals. I absolutely love them, to the extent that I only like building my CAMP at Gilman Lumber (just downhill from V76), building in such a way that I don't disrupt their pathing. Even before Wastelanders' companion NPCs, my CAMP was always a pretty lively place.

[@Subject_Keter]

I really like the Cowboy Protectrons, i always do their Quest especially the Giddyup Buttercup Kid and i love to protect the Giddyup Buttercups.

To further add to Takahashi in Diamond City, I took Codsworth with me to Home Plate one day and he had a conversation with Takahashi, I can't remember what it was about but I think Codsworth talks about how he needs to keep trying to let people know what he wants or something like that

[@dougk1315]

[@a.monach7602]

Didn't know about Bohr or Hurtz. The latter one probably just got lost in the explosions as the quest starts. Hopefully you'll cover the other kinds of robots like this.

i love the protectrons, idk why but theyre just so cute to me also my favorites are Mr. Fluffy and Primm Slimm

Its so weird how Protrectrons were introduced in Fallout 3 but they fit so well with the game's aestethic you'd think they have been around since the interplay days.

[@TheZayroen]

The people that stole the Vicky and Vance memorabilia hacked the bot to make him still see the gun etc as being there rather then faults over time.

[@thejunktownsheriffkilliand4800]

Loving your videos! Also, from Fallout 4 Automatron DLC, *technically* Ada can also be a Protectron, if you choose to rebuild her into one.

[@falloutfart9917]

And even without modifications she does spawn with some protectron parts

[@helixsol7171]

Same can be said for Codsworth and Curie (before he quest, of course), so I guess it's understandable why Ada wasn't included

[@alexeigoldschmith]

Primm Slim is my favorite by far, but you gotta admit that 3 robots with identity issues fighting for your approval is also pretty funny. You should do one but with Mr.Handy/Mr.Gutsy/Ms.Nanny, some of them are really interesting or funny.

[@Grimpy970]

I think deputy weld was a damn good idea. Both in making the city gates safe for caravans, the beggars, and the low-level player.. but also in-universe. Lucas simms can't be everywhere all the time, and the sniper on the gates can only do so much against mid/close targets. If he ever heard about a guy selling robots, he'd send for him at great expense and probably then spend even more buying and having a robot programmed. No-way I'd trust Moira to do the job. Best leave it to the old sage himself. I'm not sure how simms makes his money. Its not shown if megaton has a tax system or if he's required to sell anything he scavenges from attackers. I'm leaning towards a taxation system though. Robots are expensive, and the robot merchant is always on the move to.. well, somewhere important where he says he has clients. He doesn't visit main settlements and he doesn't have much time for idle chit-chat. Lucas simms would have needed to hire a caravan or a courier to pay him to go out of his way and visit megaton. It seems like an extremely expensive endeavor. But who knows, maybe simms bought the robot before he ever came to megaton, negating the cost to have the merchant come to him. Perhaps he and Moira have a jovial relationship. It's possible he or another scout (maybe jericho) found a dormant robot and had Moira reprogram it for the town. Seems sketchy, but we don't see much of Moira's electronic/hacking skill. You can only hope she's better with computers than chemistry! No matter what though, I like deputy weld. He belongs.

[@helixsol7171]

Takahashi is fully capable of communicating, as Codsworth demonstrates when he has a full conversation with the bot, and fully understands his responses. His speech module is stuck on that one phrase, and I assume his insistance on only acknowledging "Yes" as a response from customers due to being unable to converse with anyone other than another robot. My only complaint is the fact that Bethesda gave Codsworth this dialogue, and then made it so Curie is unable to understand Takahashi regardless if she's a robot or a Synth, when as a robot she should easily be able to understand what he's actually saying rather than trying to start up a conversation in Japanese.

Worker are already expected to be robot in work place by the owning class, those robot are property of the owning class, like the owning class expect worker labors turning into products are own by the owning class. Expect the difference between human worker and robot worker are, robot worker are literally the commodity that produces other commodities. In post war era, these robots are owns by the community, not any individual or a groups that work on a for profit motives. Owning class require labors to work on their lands to produces product which the owning class own and sold at a mark up price, while the wages laborer get only a fractions of their labors in products values and own nothing from theirs labors. That is the difference here, compare a robot to a tractors for examples, not human. If you can't see anything else than numbers go up you aren't alive.

How ?

[@tinaherr3856]

@@rautamiekka in the video, the speaker refers to the playable character of Fallout 76 as "the Vault Dweller". That title, however, is the name given to the protagonist of the first Fallout game.

[@tinaherr3856]

@𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐨-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧 still, the (real life, not in-game character) person in the video referred to the Fallout 76 protagonist as *the* Vault Dweller, not *a* vault dweller. Combined with them referring to a protagonist eith that name, it just makes it confusing

[@tinaherr3856]

@𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐨-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧 the thing is, "*The* Vault Dweller" is the name specically given to the protagonist of the first Fallout game. You can call other characters that live in Vaults vault dwellers, but they can't be called "*The* Vault Dweller". It's like calling someone (in the context of Fallout, not other media) that was chosen for something "The Chosen One", or someone who carried a package "The Courier". It just doesn't work in this context. Plus, all of the Fallout protagonists have different names from each other, even ones from the spin-offs. There aren't two Lone Wanderers, or multiple The Chosen Ones. Also, canonicaly, there were 50 residents of Vault 76, that were sent out with a mission to reclaim Appalachia, and on the hunt for the Overseer. It is very much likely that the main quest would be done by several of the residents l, especially given threats like the Silo security system or the Scorched Beast Queen. Yet due to the nature of the game, it could also be that only one unique individual did the main quest. This makes the protagonist situation of the game either be that it was one person, or multiple people. Given the almost Schroeder-type question of who is the protagonist, along side my other points, the player character(s) of Fallout 76 should also be given a separate name from "The Vault Dweller".

[@tinaherr3856]

@𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐨-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧 the thing I'm trying to get across is both the wording, and capitalization. "The" implies that there is only one, when put into the context of protagonists. You day that anyone that lived in a vault can be called "The Vault Dweller", but there were hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people assigned Vaults before the Great War, not to mention their descendents. Some can't be "The" Vault Dweller if there are thousands of them. Additionally, it's about names. The term "vault dweller" is typically lowercased when referring to non-protagonists. It is also just that, a term. Their parents didn't name their kids, "The Vault Dweller". When people use "vault dweller", it is a *title*, not an actual *name*. However, with Fallout protagonists, we don't know their names (or rather, they have not set canonical name). Thus, they are given names such as "The Courier/Courier Six", "the Lone Wanderer", "the Sole Survivor", ect. For all intents and purposes, those are their names. And you don't just give the same name to multiple characters in a story like that. Even despite Bethesda's flaws, they know that much, hence why there are not multiple Fawkes', or several Paladin Danse's in the Fallout games. There aren't two Luke Skywalkers in the Star Wars universe. Minor side character in small, side stories like those told in holotapes or notes may have repeating names that are the same, but not major or even significant side characters.
