- Adaptability: The Goliath Stampede possesses an uncanny ability to adapt to any and all combat scenarios imaginable. Calculating several dozen paths a single battle could take every second, the state of the art wardroid is capable of engaging its enemy from any position in any situation and emerge with a greater chance of victory than before.
- Damage Resistance: Thanks to their thick plating of reinforced metals, the Goliath Stampedes have a greater resistance to harm, including lightsabers and heavy cannons.
- Individuality: Each singular unit of the droid series possesses its own personality programming to make them each identifiable and assignable to individual orders. From the brazenness of Dreadman to the commandership of Bulwark, each droid hosts its own memories, goals, and traits in service of their masters.
- Memory Link: Should the Goliath Stampedes group together for a squad-based mission, they are capable of sharing their individual memories to enable a greater meshing so as to avoid fatal mistakes and decrease the risk factor of failure. This ensures the best possible outcome of their assignments and battles.
- Self Repair: As part of their advanced AI programming, each unit is capable of repairing injuries sustained in combat, should they possess the materials needed. More than once has a unit repaired a broken hand, twisted leg, or a gut wound.
- Pain Booster: Due to the implementation of the Pain Simulator, each unit will feel any and all wounds sustained in combat. However, rather than retreating or falling to suffering, the units will use the pain as motivation to adapt to the situation, following the shared idea that "feeling pain = current plan is failing."
- Limited Production: Due to the individual design of each unit, the droid series suffers from a low production rate, standing at only seven droids maximum. This naturally limits their ability to be present at battles and wars in which their presence would have been greatly beneficial.
- Heavy and Slow: In spite of their adaptability and combat capabilities, the droid series suffers from high weight and slow speed, forcing them into a semi-stationary role, leaving them at risk of damage from quicker opponents.
- EMPs: As with all droid models, the Goliath Stampedes can be shut down with sustained bursts of EMPs.
- Rampancy: As with most droid models designed with AI programming, the Goliath Stampedes are at risk of devolving into a heightened state of rampancy which would result in their permanent shut down and scrapping.
- Collateral Damage Risk: The sheer destruction the Goliath Stampedes can unleash creates an inevitable risk factor for their allies who can be caught in the crossfire at any point, especially with the more aggressive units such as Dreadman and Gorehorn.
Conjured up by the Devil Lion in a dream, the Goliath Stampedes are a highly advanced and limited line of droids designed to serve as specialized reinforcers in critical battles and engagements. Constructed with massive armor plating capable of withstanding direct hits from lightsabers, four distinct arms outfitted with state of the art weaponry to dish out unmitigated destruction, and individualized programming for unique personalities and traits, the Goliath Stampedes serve as one of Kascalion's greatest achievements in his time as the Pyramid of Scientific Advancement.
Released to the Empire under need-to-know orders directly from Emperor Carnifex himself, the Goliath Stampedes have built an interesting reputation as greatly reliable if unnerving due to their sentience and humanoid-like personalities. However, it has been many a time concluded that from charging the enemy lines head on to aiding army leadership from the back ranks, the droid series can fit any role necessary to bring victory to the Empire.
