THAMF "Freak Killer Mark III" (GURPS International Super Teams)

In the early 1990s, THAMF began designing a number of robots to help it combat mutants, aliens and other "super freaks".  They put out a call to sympathetic scientists and hi-tech companies willing to build their designs.  One of their more satisfying designs came to be known as the "Freak Killer Mark III".  

The FKM3 looks like a miniature tank, including squat body and low profile turret.  The turret contains the sensors and a single 10mm gun with 50-second ammo supply.  A few of the FKM3 have the gun universally mounted for greater flexibility.  Because the robot is dull-witted at best, it is never used without human supervision except as a facility defense robot.
