ALL of Fallout's Biggest Robots Explained! | Fallout Lore

Titanic constructs that make Sentry bots look small, Fallout’s Biggest robots come in all shapes and sizes.
From enormous robo-scorpions and storm infused Goliaths to earth shattering mining equipment and the series tallest, deadliest and most patriotic character, their impact on the series has understandably been pretty substantial.
In todays video we are running through the known lore for all of Fallout’s biggest robots focussing on their creation, the problems each faced in production, their impact on the series as a whole and some deeper mysteries.

Liberty Prime hollering about stomping Communism out of existence while ruthlessly crushing Enclave forces and the “spiritual” successor of the pre war government of America is a kind of rich irony that only the senate, excuse me, Palpatine could appreciate in it’s entirety.

[@WangNurMouth]

It gives me a chubbers :3

[@kiokyyikune]

Liberty prime is a good man

[@cjthebeesknees]

[@KFCArbiter]

Love the Storm Goliaths a very unique solution to Fallouts giant robot power problem. If Stolz ever made a mobile weather machine the Goliaths would be an unrelenting force in the wasteland.

[@NCR_vet_ranger2347]

Is the "unrelenting force" a skyrim joke?

[@zacharyweaver276]

I think the Big MT were doing something like that so had the war not happened it could have been a thing

[@itzdogmeat]

Two words, nuclear winter | edit: 3 actually lol, nuclear winter mode*

[@tinaherr3856]

I think that the Chimera and Spider Drones actually existed. Ironically, the equipment inaccuracies gives some evidence. All of the weapon inaccuracies you mentioned for the American side (Fatmen, the newer Vertibird model) were still projects that were conpleted pre-war. That means that the weapons used in the simulation had some basis in reality, even if the time frame is off. That means there has to be *some* basis for the Chimera tanks and Spider Drones. I mean, we know for a fact that the other equipment used for the Chinese in the simulation actually existed (the stealth suits, assult rifles, and the general's shock sword).

[@UraniumFever76]

Originally there was a holotape on the VSS terminal which had a conversation between two of the sims devs where they mention the Chimera by name, as being the main point of contention. That being said, we've seen other pre-existing high-tech mining robots so they might have already been there for the Chinese to build off. It certainly makes it more interesting so I hope they both were!

[@venator-fb7yy]

If I recall the Chimera was a "grunts and crafts" project with it's actual existence in question but I do believe the mines were real to some extent. Plus no IFF in the mines sounds like a communist "feature" as well.

[@AceOfBlackjack]

@@UraniumFever76In 76 you can find folks talking how to scrap the engine on one of those on a terminal, since apparently they were struggling with the gas engine.

[@ArcticPenguin17]

Here’s my head cannon for Liberty Prime. The Brotherhood needed to head back west but Liberty Prime couldn’t fit on the Prydwen assembled and disassembling would be to risky/impossible. So they just set a destination on the West coast and had him walk there. The Brotherhood knowing he’s basically invincible figures he won’t have any problem crossing the country. They would probably install a tracker though… just in case.

[@HelpfulgamerJet]

I know it is dumb and completely inaccurate but seeing Liberty Prime interrupt the battle of hoover dam would be the best moment in fallout

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

God the idea of stories of a giant metal man storming the east, obliterating whatever scattered factions remain of Caesar's Legion is amazing, I love it

[@FFSammie]

Recently read the rabbit hole that shows all train-tracks and anything that needs to fit on it are "the width of two horses' asses" and I'm sad that Liberty Prime couldn't fit into that canon.

[@sydryi3086]

This is another great video, here's hoping that Vault 63 will be further expanded upon in a future update cause my favourite robots have to be the storm goliaths.

[@UraniumFever76]

Thanks very much! Agreed they were a really good addition. I enjoyed all the tie-ins to other lore added with the update (Calvert, the Think Tank etc)

That fact that theres people that actually believe Frank Horrigan is stronger than Liberty Prime makes me laugh.

They believe anything before Bethesda is better, no matter how obviously stupid those idea is, if it make no sense then it make all sense for them since it’s not Bethesda

[@jeffelmore6652]

It’s so cool hearing about West Virginia from a video game/movie. I was born and raised in West Virginia my whole life. I moved away from there about 5 years ago. Still very cool they used West Virginia as a location for 76

[@Upbreaker]

I was just watching and realized I was here when it was 13 minutes old (in release terms) great video, one of the more comprehensible robot guides.

[@UraniumFever76]

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you checking out the video.

[@huntertierney5495]

Goddamn fallout 76 kinda goes hard. Those tunneling machines are horrifying.

[@kiokyyikune]

I would Smash those machines

[@rowenpryde2126]

I refused to play 76 for so long until this year, I started looking into their creatures & cryptids and had to play for myself. It’s actually pretty good now.

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Was hoping for some more lore about Motherlode. There’s some weird self-aware AI stuff going on there (with the whole “remembers” thing, ect. )

[@nicklausdavis]

Obviously video games have an issue with properly rendering scale, whether it be population or the true size of land or objects. But I always find it funny how small the tanks in fallout are, especially the ‘chimera’ considering that it’s really not big at all compared to modern tanks.

[@misterpotato427]

I love how the war in Fallout was started was because of resources, but then we got stuff like this XD

[@victorochoa3662]

Would John Henry Eden count? I mean he is pretty big, I guess the computer has some moving parts.

[@UraniumFever76]

That's a very good question. I guess I would normally think of him as a ZAX AI Computer as opposed to a robot. Very topical you mention him as I have an AI video coming up next. And the lines between what is and isn't considered an AI is even thinner I think. So some robots will definitely be appearing in that one too...

[@TheChesher]

​@@UraniumFever76 Ai is an awesome topic, and I assume that especially in our reality it'll be a world changing technology, or even a group of entities, it would be interesting to use Fallout as a parallel.

[@blehh_mae]

@@TheChesher i still think its a bit unrealistic to compare irl AI to fictional AI, all we have is just decent algorithms that can use a Lot of sources very efficiently, which is not really at all comparable to synthetic consciousness, i guess both have advanced algorithms but even then obviously fictional AI have much better algorithms and ways to predict how to combine the data realistically

The airship in the fallout series is the Prydwen, this is because canonically the Prydwen is the only airship to be rebuilt by the Brotherhood of Steel.

[@UraniumFever76]

I agree with you, I know some people still maintain it was a production error or it was rebuilt. I’m pretty sure it is though.

You're either dumb, or maliciously misinterpreting what I said, and I will not contribute to malice what can easily be explained by ignorance. So I thought you were dumb. And people who like the big dumb parts of Fallout, as you seem to think Liberty Prime is excusable because a bot in F2 had 2 legs, tend to dislike actual RPG elements, like the stuff Bethesda keeps removing from the game. So I, uh.. *made fun of you* and told you to beg Bethesda to remove all the fun shit from Fallout.

[@FnRenner]

Having Liberty Prime make an appearance in FO4 comes off as weak writing. FO4 in general, even the DLC, feels rushed when it certainly wasn't given the development time. Nuka Cola is a cool concept but it doesn't feel fully fleshed out. Far Harbour feels like they tried to fit in every idea and came up short in every regard. The other DLC's should have been day 1 content. The writing is lazy when it shouldn't have been given the cash was spent on professional writers. I mean who didn't leave the fault thinking "I bet my kids old now."? As much as I enjoy what FO4 is, I can't live it. It's Professional Grade, AAA Studio Produced, Todd Howard's Personal Signature of commercial grade sloppy half a$$ing it while knowing the fan base will buy it. Bethesda and Todd Howard make money grab garbage that is over hyped, under produced, hanky, bug infested, cash grabs. Todd Howard is Peter Molyneux except Fable is a classic while Howard didn't even make the best FO game while owning the license...cough...Obsidian...cough....
