The Grand OC! [CONTEST XXX: HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEN]
RE: The Grand OC! [CONTEST ELEVEN: NOISE! SUBMISSIONS WELCOME!]
Username: Dragon Fogel
Name: Diagnostic Prototype Unit G43-N
Race: Repairbot
Gender: None
Biography: The G-model repairbots were intended to go a step further.

Repair capabilities had already come a long way since the A-models and their singleminded focus on tightening loose bolts, screws, and nails. The F-models had already proven up to the task of reassembling the internal circuitry of some of the most delicate equipment, including other repairbots.

But there was still one key flaw, in customers' eyes: they needed to be told there was a problem. And so the emphasis on the G-models was creating diagnostic tools, so they could catch malfunctions before any serious accidents happened.

Prototype G43-N was equipped with a radar designed to scan for mechanical objects and detect deviations from standard specifications. The engineers had put a great deal of work into the system, and were eager to see how it performed in a test. They released the prototype into a sealed room filled with hundreds of appliances, some broken and some not.

Once everything was ready, they turned G43-N on.

And it promptly started trying to repair the air in front of it. Then one of the walls. Then a table, which did not react well to the built-in handsaw or blowtorch.

The test was called off, and there was a prompt review of the design. One of the engineers realized the problem - the G43-N's internal power source was completely throwing off the radar. They'd need to adjust either the power supply or the detection system to compensate.

However, when they went to retrieve the model in order to fix it for another test, they found it had disappeared.

Description: G43-N is a small, vaguely humanoid robot. It does not speak, though it will respond to certain voice commands. However, without an operating manual, no one's going to know what those commands are.
G43-N has no real personality, only a drive to fix whatever needs fixing. With its malfunctioning radar, though, it thinks a lot of things need fixing.

Weapons and Abilities: G43-N is equipped with a wide array of repair tools. It can access them at any time, provided it deems them appropriate to its current task.
Of course, it also has a radar system to help it determine what that task is, and said system is more than a little unreliable. It can easily decide very suddenly that anything - or anyone - needs "fixing" and it won't stop until it deems its job complete. Naturally, whether G43-N thinks the job is done has nothing to do with the actual condition of whatever it was trying to repair.
