The Resi Corporation is proud to announce that it has done it again - this time, in two distinct bold new flavors.

Introducing the
MT-1 PROWLER
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f195/wetsail/prowler.jpg
and the
MT-2 KNEECAPPER
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f195/wetsail/kneecapper.jpg

The wars of the modern age should be fought with as little casualties as possible, and the PROWLER and KNEECAPPER will work to demilitarize defensive positions and train your troops all without having to worry about harm to your and yours. With intuitive design, these robots can analyze and carry themselves through any kind of terrain against any kind of soldier.

Both these machines use standard 5.56mm rounds and fire with pin-point accuracy to kill or incapacitate your enemies, depending on your objectives. These can also be loaded with paintballs and rubber bullets for training exercises and riots, making them truly versatile machines. Each houses an internal battery that allows them to run for 24 hours without a recharge, and can plug themselves into most outlet types when their batteries run low.

The main differences between these two models are what equipment they utilize - the KNEECAPPER obviously has twice the firepower of the PROWLER, but the PROWLER's camera equipment is more sensitive, and houses auditory sensors in addition.

These can be set to patrol perimeters, assist in fire on the frontlines, or be remote controlled to do just about whatever you want, individually or in a group, by a human at a remote location. Included with a single one of these robots are ten "safe cards", the size of an every-day credit card and marked as such to disguise them, which mark their owners as "safe", and not to be shot under any circumstances. Other than those marked by safe cards, these robots can take out any human soldier, utilizing superior vision - built-in thermals and night vision - to guard any location, to un-man any battlefield.

Feel free to post your orders. We thank you in advance for choosing Resicorp for your military needs.

No offense, but I think it would be more courteous to make a storefront rather than making a new thread whenever you come out with a new product. Looks good though and I'm glad to see you're running everything through the NSD now. I want to continue ZGS talks if you do.

OOC: Yes, but it's a bit silly to make a storefront thread with, say, only three real products, two of which are variations among the same theme.

I didn't figure NSD would have any real problems with these, because other than taking a few small leaps with things like autonomous AIs that are, say, three or four years away, the US army actually has made these things.

^ yeah that, sorry for cluttering the thread

Why would you make a storefront for three items, one of which is of a different tech level to the others?

OOC: Granted, it doesn't make much sense now. However, once you start building your line a storefront's the way to go. (Also, I thought maybe you had some more products that I had overlooked. Guess not.)

Anyway, still interested in working with Zinairian General Suppliers?

Our army would like to purchase 5,000 of these robots, but can they be equipped with the Ifrit flame throwers? We will be still sending $10,000,000 for these robots, this shall be an interesting new development and an alternative to the super soldier program.

The West Corinthian government desires to purchase 10 of each robot model on behalf of the government-owned Ultor Corporation. We desire to test the robots against robot prototypes currently in design by the Ultor Corporation for exclusive use by the Corinthian military.

The ASoGM would like to purchase 10 of each model. We will wire the $40,000 once our order is confirmed.

All orders have been confirmed and shipped.
Note that the Ifrit flamethrowers are too heavy to be easily fitted to one of these robots, but the Resi Corporation is currently working on a solution to your problem as it has been anticipated.

OOC: New rule: if you're going to post something OOC in my thread and you're not me, you need to be buying something from me.

I'll pass on the ZGS talks for now, it's not in our in-character economic interests.

Dear Sir or Madam,
We are interesed in your products. However, would it be possible to buy further 'safe cards' when they are used in larger deployments? Furthermore, would it be possible to equip them with dart guns (for use in airships)?
Yors sincerely,
Air Admiral John Donder, Minister of Peace

The Grand Holy Empire of Imota would like to purchase 300 Prowlers and 150 Kneecappers, for a total price of $900,000. We will wire the money once our order is confirmed.

Greal wishes to buy 1,000 PROWLERs and 2,000 KNEECAPPERs, funds will be wired upon confirmation of the order.

First Class Tactical Scientist of the Meritocracy: "An interesting design to be certain. On behalf of my government, I am authorized to order 1000 of each at a cost of $4 million.

In addition, this technology intrigues several design specialists working on projects for future development. Perhaps a collaboration is in order.

OOC: ((I have a fantastic idea eating at my brain and due to poor art/photoshop skills, I can't realize it. It's damaging me. :( ))

The Commonwealth of Morrdh wishes to purchase one of each for trails, if we are happy with the results we will consider putting in a larger order.

Though would it be possible to retro-fit the models to take advantage of drawing power from our Tesla Arrys thus removing the need to recharge the batteries?

'Safe Cards' are relatively cheap to produce, and as such we can offer them to you at the incredibly cheap price of $50 per 10.

Also note that each nation's 'Safe Cards' are unique, and another nation's 'Safe Card' will not defend them from your robots.

We can also special equip these robots to handle most foreign technology within reason for an additional 25% onto the purchase price per unit, assuming you transmit specs for the darts in question.

Your order has been confirmed and shipped.

Any collaborations would best be kept to encrypted telegrams between our nations to avoid competitors overhearing in open markets such as this one. Be assured that we at Resicorp are more than happy to work on collaborative efforts between nations, and have in the past created some of our best products as collaborations.

The Commonwealth of Morrdh wishes to purchase one of each for trails, if we are happy with the results we will consider putting in a larger order.

Though would it be possible to retro-fit the models to take advantage of drawing power from our Tesla Arrys thus removing the need to recharge the batteries?

Order confirmed and shipped.

Retro-fitting would be possible. We at the Resi Corporation believe in honesty, and as such will inform you that the power supply is easily accessible to individuals with a 'Safe Card', and the modification is most likely something within the scope of your own technicians for cheaper than we could charge.

Thank you both for your business.

Official Message from the Department for Research, Evolution, and Developement

We in Allanea wish to purchase a mixed sample of 1,000 PROWLER and KNEECAPPER drones, but without their weapons (so we can equip them with Allanean-standard rifles and other weapons for experimentation.

It would be best if they be painted black, and marked “DREAD SAMPLE [X]” (where X is the serial number) and after wards, the letter P or K, depending on whether it is a PROWLER or a KNEECAPPER drone. We will pay you $2020 per drone, to accommodate for additional costs of repainting them.

Dear Sir or Madam,
On behalf of the Ministry of Procrastination, I would like to purchase 100 PROWLERs and 500 000 extra 'safe cards' (one for each employee) for a total price of $2 700 000 for the purpose of novelty shredders.
Thankyou,

To whosoever it concerns,
We are considering rolling these out nation-wide for base defence. As such, many thousands of robots and tens of millions of the 'safe cards' will be required. Would it be possible to purchase Domestic Production Rights for these?
Yours Sincerely,
High Air Admiral John Donder, Minister of Peace

Under normal circumstances we don't option out production rights, but with the release of the new R-Bot models, we suppose we can option out said rights for $500 million, for both models together.

Total of $ 502 700 000 wired.
Thankyou

OOC: Curse you, I been trying to manage RL and work on Alfegos Airship so my robots were delayed! $2,000 USD seems a might way too little though... something like that IRL such as the Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection System runs between $150,000 and $180,000 USDs. Your's, with full autonomy should be much higher or else you'd be taking such significant losses your company would already be gone. In which case I'll gladly by you up :D
