SPECIAL FEATURES
- The Scorpenek Annihilator Droid, once an evolution of the deadly Droideka-series, has been evolved into a newer, larger, more dangerous form through the utilization of Colicoid Creation Nest advanced technologies. While this has driven its cost up some, it has become an even-deadlier war machine, capable of tearing apart foes, acting as a mobile space turret, or even modified into an (expensive) ship-scrapping and cargo hauler droid.
- The Scorpenek Annihilator Droid Upgrade, as it will be commonly referred to, is a nigh-indestructible droid in a given sense - not because of being actually indestructible, but because of the fact it has not only impressive hull-plating (and has done away with the eye-based weakness), but possesses an advanced shield generator that can make it extremely difficult to dislodge. Able to walk over difficult terrain (save for those that would destroy most objects anyway) and to wade across the bottom of rivers and seas, the Scorpenek's ferocious array of weaponry, whether in normal configuration or in a space-turret configuration, can absolutely shred apart starfighters, vehicles, and infantry with ease - all from the safety of its impressive hull and shield. The Scorpenek has been upgraded with advanced targeting sensors as well as an improved composite radiation sensor, allowing it to pick out both living and inorganic targets with ease and rain down fire upon them - though invisible targets still prove to be a bane to it.
Moreover, with an improved armor plating and impressive shield generator able to house droidekas within it when on land, it is capable of making it extremely difficult to dislodge or deter. A fine killing machine that proves absurdly hard to move from its path, it is a war machine capable of reducing a dozen well-armored tanks or walkers to smoldering wreckage within minutes. The ship-scrapping/cargo hauler variant, likewise, can haul an absurdly large amount of cargo and can tear apart ships rather efficiently and quickly. Its droid brain and processors have been enhanced too, making it capable of making more immediate decisions and reaction times (if still burdened by its slow speed), as well as able to swivel on its mid-section to target foes behind it or to its sides
- If there are any notable weaknesses to the Scorpenek, the increase in armor, as well as other facets, has left it staggeringly huge - an increase to six-point-five meters in height, making it difficult and cumbersome to fit through small spaces. Moreover, it is burdened with a heftier, even more expensive price tag - its limited production quality means orders must be ordered well-ahead of schedule to ensure that it is capable of being delivered. Moreover, slow-moving objects, particularly sentients, can pass by through the shield, though this is a minor weakness as its difficult to do so under heavy fire. Additionally, its heavy weight means unstable structures may see it fall over - and while it can prop itself by up, it is slow to do so. Another issue is its photoreceptor, while stronger and better-protected, is still a gap in its defenses and heavy enough tank weaponry or anti-armor weaponry can puncture through it and render the droid blind or even disable it outright. Moreover, the space turret version is unable to be on land due to its removal of its legs for maneuvering thrusters - and likewise is only space-capable, not atmospheric-capable.
Another weakness is that the Scorpenek suffers from is mainly that of its exclusive productivity and complicated mechanical structuring, meaning parts can only be sourced from Colla IV and maintenance is difficult/intensive to perform due to having to replace extremely. In its cargo-hauler/ship-scrapper variant and land variants, it is tremendously slower then expected - about a degree of twelve percent slower compared to the original Scorpenek design, and thus can be flanked (even if it can pivot and turn on its mid-section to face enemies) and thus swamped with enemies. Additionally, its combination particle-energy shield means organics cannot be within the shield, as they would suffocate or suffer intensive, rapid radiation poisoning due to how the shield works - meaning only droids can "buddy up" inside of it.
The Scorpenek Annihilator Droid upgrade, befitting its name, is an upgraded production model variant of the original Scorpenek Annihilator Droid - modernized and overhauled to become a verifiable titan of destruction. Produced by Ank Dec as his first project as a head engineer, the modernized Scorpenek can effectively serve as anti-infantry, anti-vehicle, and even anti-air/anti-starfighter depending on its land configuration or space turret configuration. Moreover, its impressive hull plating and shield generator, as well as cargo hauler/ship-scrapper variants, make it capable of serving in roles both as a fourth-degree droid and a fifth-degree droid absurdly well. While burdened with an immense price tag and cumbersomely slow (and heavy), the droid was designed to be an engine of war, not a speed demon, and thus consequently reflects its original model well.
Able to be utilized both on front and back lines in different roles, and even in space, the Scorpenek Annihilator Droid upgrade is ferociously built to compete - and to produce an expected (if limited) consistent profit margin for the Colicoid Creation Nest. Current debates about further field testing in live-fire exercises have resulted in prepared offers to certain galactic groups - though whether or not the droid constitutes a war crime is still up in the air for debate. Ultimately, the Scorpenek Annihilator Droid upgrade is deadly, and while it does have its weaknesses, when used correctly, becomes a horrifying menace on the battlefield for any foes.
