Project: MACHETE

Subject was found in a waste facility. Its mobility was hindered and unresponsive to movement commands, however its powercore was intact and functional. It was decided that the subject would be salvaged and handed over to the reclamation department. Upon receipt the team determined that the specimen would be an ideal candidate for the Retrofit procedure and given the codename MACHETE. Its original powercore was removed and upgraded to a more powerful system. Its mobility was upgraded to a dual drive setup in order for the subject to be effective in its new role. The central support frame was stripped down to its bare elements and recoated with protective layers to prevent oxidation from the elements. A new central support structure was welded in order to provide further structural stability in its new role. The specimen responded well to its retrofit and project Machete was deemed a success.
