Ultimatum
Duranium Lord
So I've been thinking about Ultimatum's future and the story that I have in mind for him. Some ideas came to mind and I was wondering if I could get some feedback and suggestions.
The first is relatively inconsequential and I was just wondering about the possibility of it. It is a deployment system for droids into a battlefield, the main idea being able to drop a container from orbit and it falling to the surface, withstanding the heat of reentry and keeping the droids inside from being damaged.
Another idea I had has apparently been thought of before. The person I spoke to about it told me that he had had very little headway in finding potential ways of getting this to work. I had been wondering about making living metal, finding a method of creating some life form made of metal, the idea being that Ultimatum could transfer his mind into a living metal body. I was further wondering if such a being were possible to create whether it would be possible to be Force sensitive as it is alive.
The last idea at this time is a intercontinental missile launcher vehicle. I believe that it should be technologically possible to create, and it would not be terribly unlikely, I am more concerned with the sort of development that would be required. I believe that at least one thread for the Isotope 5, but what beyond that? I have a mostly filled out template below:

Intent: To create a combat droid that Ultimatum may use on the battlefield in the future.
Development Thread: To be added
Manufacturer: LOOM
Model: Ultimatum Class
Affiliation: Ultimatum
Modularity: Parts can be replaced and updated, the internal mechanisms are made with an intent towards relatively easy upgrading.
Production: Limited
Material: Durasteel, Duranium-Quandanium alloy, Bandorium, Tunqstoid, Tungsten, Isotope 5
Classification: Class Four with parts of Class Two
Weight: 125 tonnes (metric tons)
Height: 13 meters
Movement: Bipedal-Quadruped hybrid
Armaments:
Main (Anti-armor, offensive): Rail Gun/Baradium missile Launcher
Secondary (Anti-personnel, defensive): Heavy Repeating Blasters, Disruptor turrets
Tertiary (Anti-close range, defensive): Carbonite flash freezers, Thermite-spray flamethrowers
Emergency Failure: Detonation Core
Misc. Equipment:
Molecular shielding
Large Full-Spectrum Transceiver
Holo-Projector
Communications Receiver
Isotope 5 power generator
Description:
The Extinguishers are powerful droid battle platforms. They are intended to destroy armored vehicles and bunkers. The main purpose is the use of a massive railgun on the right side to launch specially made Baradium missiles to devastate an area of approximately five kilometers square. The droid can also fire kinetic strike weapons made of Tungsten using a similar delivery system for a more precise attack. The droid also doubles as a heavy assault vehicle, however this is an inadvisable role due to the inherent danger of baradium rockets and weapon fire.
The outer hull of the droid is made of a Duranium-Quandanium alloy intended to make the droid's outer body resistant to most conventional firearms, if the shield should fail. An outer coating of Bandorium makes the droid just a slight bit more difficult to detect using normal sensors. The internal systems are made of Durasteel for its durability and general strength. Around the missile compartment, an inch thick layer of Tunqstoid is in place to lower the chances of an enemy shot piercing that specific point and accidentally setting off one of the Baradium missiles. The same is true of the Isotope 5 generator, in order to keep safe the rather unstable generator.
The legs of the droid are made to walk bipedal, however, because of the weight of the main body and the natural instability of the droid, there are also small spear like structures built to come out of the foot in order to help stabilize movement. The machine has two large stabilizing struts meant to be pushed into the ground to help climb rough terrain, though they also work for stepping on smaller vehicles and using the weight of the droid to smash them. About three meters up the legs there are nozzles for the Carbonite or Thermite spray, these are intended as close anti-personnel weapons when the more traditional weaponry is not capable of easily reaching the enemy.
The main weaponry system of an Extinguisher and its first purpose is the large railgun missile launcher. Using powerful magnetism it is capable of firing a baradium missile, specifically built for the system, into the upper atmosphere. From there the missile's systems carry the explosive warhead to its destination, which can be almost anywhere on the planet, so long as it is not shot down. The missiles themselves are rather large, almost as long as some fighters and can be shot down by starships that pick it up on sensors. The railgun can also launch tungsten rods for closer targets and smaller destruction radii. Opposite the railgun a large Full-Spectrum Transceiver is capable of seeing most large targets within a thousand kilometer radius, in order to have accurate firing information for longer firing range it needs the information to be sent from an outside source that has reliable information. Usually this is a ship in orbit or a communication from near the target. The droid mind is capable of accomplishing all of the necessary calculations required to make an accurate launch and strike.
The rest of the weaponry systems are intended to defend the droid from enemies that are too close to allow safe usage of the main weaponry system. The first two heavy repeaters are built into the bottom of the head of the vehicle and are meant to fire independently, both being capable of rotating in 145 degree arc horizontally and a 90 degree arc vertically. There is a third repeater built into the back of the droid in order to defend the rear, this has a 110 degree angle in all directions. There are only two disruptor turrets and both of these are deployed in a forward direction, they have a much smaller field of movement, only 90 degrees in every direction, due to their close range nature and high resource consumption they are saved mostly for close range attack. The second line of defense are a combination of carbonite dispensers and the Finally there is a detonation core should Ultimatum decide that the enemy has overrun or proven too powerful for the anti-personnel weapons. The core explodes causing the cache of baradium missiles to blow. The explosion has the potential of destroying almost everything within a two kilometer radius.
As the droid is heavily electronic based ion weapons and EMP weaponry that pierce the molecular shielding are very effective. If the droid is damaged in such a way there is a much smaller chance of the detonation core being able to be activated. However because of the molecular shield it will be very difficult to hit the droid with such weapons. Further while the droid is capable of retaining balance to a degree, it is quite susceptible attacks on the legs and balancing struts. Further much like the old Imperial vehicles, this is vulnerable to tow cables and similar devices that can be used to entangle the legs of the droid. If a cable is employed then it will need to both tough and wrapped many times.
