- Exceptionally large and extremely strong droid is great as a basis for use during search and rescue operations. This droid is able to pick up speeders and other debris that would normally require a crane or something similar to do so, enabling rescuers to make saves with much more mobile and dexterous muscle than ever before.
- Reinforced Phrik-A based armor plating incorporates SYC, FM-001, and other armor technologies to make it highly resistant to many forms of damage that it might encounter. That and its weight gives it a sturdy platform to tank a lot of heavier hitting weapons repeatedly without losing balance. And the Synthetic Yorik Coral in the armor makes this droid extremely difficult to affect with space magic due to its force dead nature, giving it a stealthiness from space wizards and very high protections from their machinations.
- Jump pack on the droid allows it to leap great heights despite its heavy weight, or allow for controlled descents as it is either coming from a large leap from above, or even its final descent from orbit. This Jump pack takes a little bit to recharge though, so don't expect to go flying all willy nilly.
- AI is programmed to be highly aggressive in the combat zone, preferring to go on the offensive than sit in a defensive position. This however is tempered as the AI has tactical programming allowing it to find the best possible method to attack and utilize current resources. This includes flanking maneuvers, setting ambushes, covering fires with tactical assaults, and even closing into melee range with enemy vehicles to utilize their higher mobility and ability to climb and move and tear things apart with their claws.
- Droids are a heavy weapons platform with access to a variety of purpose built heavy weapons. While these weapons could never be utilized by standard or even power armor wearing infantry, these weapons give these droids the hard hitting qualities of tanks. Ammo not included though, so they'll need to pack extra munitions.
- Micro Isotope-5A reactors ensures these droids will have plenty of power and run for a very, very, very long time before needing a fuel swap.
- Wind-Talker Class comm units allow these droids to be a part of that particular communications network utilizing massive capabilities to stream data, communicate with other units, and coordinate with all TDW forces on the ground to ensure tactical and strategic victories.
- Should the jump pack on the droids fail, they can utilize their claws on their hands and feet to climb up vertical or past vertical surfaces. Extremely hard and durable nature of Phrik-A allows these droids to claw into scale up anything except for exceptionally hard surfaces composed of Duranium, Impervium, or other supremely hard materials.
- Highly aggressive and well rounded assault droid: These droids are one thing on the battlefield and that is aggression. They are designed to attack the enemy with overwhelming firepower and should their weapons fail, they are designed to literally tear enemy vehicles apart with terrifying efficiency. Their armor is also reinforced by multiple alloys and materials giving them exceptional protection in the combat zone. They can climb, they can jump, and so long as the weapon they're holding has ammo, they will fight regardless of the odds in front of them. Actually lets be honest even if they run out of ammo they'll still more than likely fight unless ordered not to. And while you could run, these droids will chase you down which means you'll only die tired. So just surrender, it's the only way they'll spare you long enough for their commander to decide what to do with you.
- Exceptional Search and Rescue platforms: These droids also double as great search and rescue droids, their sensor packages and raw strength and agility makes them excellent in the recovery of civilians and other personnel in disaster situations. And if you need a crane but are in an area that can't support one, stand back and watch as this droid will lift whatever it is that's in the way, or tear it apart at your direction with the precision of a surgeon.
- Don't fit in most hallways: These droids are much larger than your standard humanoids standing at around 4 meters tall. This means that they won't fit inside most hallways or interiors of ships and such. And since they were more designed for open field or city based fighting, that means more than likely they'll get you to the building or whatever it is that you need to clear, but you're gonna have to clear it yourself. This also limits their capabilities in boarding ships as while they could certainly establish a beach head and clear a hangar, tighter corridors of the ship will more than likely prevent them from pressing the assault. Or if they do they'll be at a significant disadvantage due to their height restriction.
- No actual built in weapon systems: These droids rely on weapons to be given to them that come with their own ammunition. And while they could certainly carry more ammo and do ammunition changes, this makes for extra loads you have to plan for. So if you're looking for a multi-purpose highly effective droid look no further, but if you need something that already comes with all of the stuff for combat installed you're gonna need to look elsewhere. Unless you plan on cleaning the gore and all the other crud that builds up in the hand and feet actuators of these droids after every fight. Which...... would be a lot. Yeah lets just go find you some different droids.
A variant with the sole production purpose is to put them in support of the new Dire Wolves Paramilitary Organization, this variant of the TCD-2 serves two purposes. On the civilian side of production, this droid is meant to deploy with rescue teams to act as mobile heavy lifting equipment and to detect people in need of rescue in disaster relief situations. Being able to carry heavy loads and move massive weights with ease, these droids also assist with the moving of rubble or transportation of supplies across war torn planets. And these droids do deliver on that promise, making it much easier for crews in these zones to make much more success in saving those who need help. Then there's the combat applications of these droids.
Keeping in line with the original model's view of supporting the infantry, these droids are designed to be mobile heavy weapons platforms that can be deployed with, move alongside and support the infantry in highly aggressive tactics and maneuvers. And they are no longer limited by weapons choices like in the older model. Instead they have freed up the weight from the original autocannon and heavy machine gun models to go with a much more flexible choice in weapons that can be swapped as simply as the droid setting one down and picking another up. And with the ability to carry a single weapons system in reserve, this makes these droids an absolute terror on the field of battle. Because they will attack and find a way to outmaneuver and overwhelm your position with superior firepower and tactics. They will not allow the attack to falter unless it is tactically sound to do so, and only will the orders of their current owners stop them from out right annihilating enemy positions. And if you run, these droids will hunt you down unless ordered not to do so, so I would suggest that you find a place to hide. And then pray.
The 'Raptors are on the hunt.
