Zoomable Range Fingers: Allows to see their targets from afar and decide when to fire they heavy blaster cannons and to see if they be effective at that range.
STRENGTHS
- What Mountain?: It can literally climb over small mountains with its quadrupedal feet, able to get into direct vantage points. It can even hang upslide down in caverns if need be.
- 360 Head Turning: The top half can spin all the way around, covering all angles, including its rear.
- MY FEET!: The feets toes are extremely vulnerable, one shot with a missile or a well placed blaster cannon would give enough to make the entire Django machine to fall off from its perch.
- Can't Look Down!: If even one infantry gets underneath it, it cannot fire against them and could only lay down to harm them but that takes a long process, long enough to just go behind them and run around.
The entire idea of the Django boils down to one principle. How do you assist your own fellow men if it cannot follow the most dangerous paths? That answer was given to Django in old holofilms basing on an All Terrain model that allowed itself to climb up walls yet was never in pass production. He decided to make a new version of it, an updated version. Taking his time, he would affix himself in old documents and writings based on such designs. One key note was adding in feet spikes, allowing it to climb up structures so easily. Then of course, he added in Night and Thermal vision to allow different vision setting through the transparisteel glass. One of the other things to note was the range fingers being added, allowing them to be a zoomable scope to search for their prey and then fire.
Testing showed it was rather remarkable but also unremarkable. One such test, a droid went underneath the Django and merely ran under it while the pilot started to smash around its legs in a futile effort to combat the attacker. It sadly failed. Worse was it smashed into its own foot, crippling itself and falling over. It was a fiasco yet it had its strengths more as a heavy piece of warfare versus helping its fellow man in a firefight. Regardless, it went into production...for better or worse.
