The Mechanist's automatrons are cobbled together from a wide variety of components and junk taken from five different robot models. Scrapbots are built from the Assaultron legs and Mister Handy torso frame and eye. They lack regular Assaultron lasers but have two clamps in place of their hands, which raises their melee damage.
Gameplay attributes
Like regular Assaultrons, the scrapbots' weak points are their legs. However, when these are destroyed, the scrapbots will continue to pursue the target by crawling on the ground.
Variants
