The WARDUMMY was an earily attempt at designing a mechanized soldier for the purposes of war; one of the first designed by the U.S. government using wholly mechanical; non paranatural phenomenae; designed to be tele-electronically animated from a “core” central processor.
This model contains gyroscopic mechanisms for stabilization and miniaturized hydraulics for propulsion, with two “hands” that roughly function as dextrous appendages and can be replaced with firearm attachment/usage mechanisms.
The most impressive mechanisms are contained in the head, comtaining two highly advanced miniaturized televisual cameras; a high-fi speaker and speech synthesizer, and a glistening “reciever dome” for contact.
The prototype was abandoned due to the extensive costs of production and issues with functionality compared to traditional soldiers. Its mechanisms were durable, but prone to breakage outside of artificial settings; and its physical strength and stability beyond its usage of firearms were below average even at peak condition.
It was given to the G.U.F.F. as a “present” despite its seemingly non-anomalous nature. It has been used as a conduit for contact with computer and electrically-based subjects due to its low functionality; as a telemetrically operated manipulator of unknown subjects; and as a mechanism for deeply; deeply stupid pranks.
Through its usage in our programs; it has gained a singular anomalous property by unknown aggregate means. It is currently indestructable, durable beyond conventional and many anomalous means; and if destroyed or lost will appear immediately afterwards in foundation custody.
It has been called our “mascot” by many members, and this writer would not contradict that...
So, yeah, I couldn’t quite figure out anything super-creative for this hypothetical-warbot. So I decided to make ‘em the Foundation’s equivalent to Buster from Mythbusters!

This was, like several other entries, also shown early as a preview on my Patreon, along with a buuuuuunch of other G.U.F.F. entries coming soon. I put previews on it relatively regularly actually, in addition to polls and 3d printables, plus even art commission-y stuff for the higher tiers! So, check that out if you wanna!
