GUARD SCORPION

A hulking robotic figure, it moves quickly through reactors, slums and underground facilities, defending its programmed lair from intruders. Designed by the Shinra Corporation to protect its controversial mako reactors from increasingly radical environmental terrorists. The guard scorpion follows the orders input into it by technicians and doesn’t stray from those goals until new orders have been input.
