Automated Guardian

Adversaries Designed by Alexander Digman

Adversary overview

A hulking armored automaton who looks suspiciously like a former version of a clank.

An ancient precursor to the modern clank, the Automated Guardian is a large mechanical biped with burnished yellow plating. Threads of blue light run along the inside of its arms and legs like luminous nerves. The threads converge at a limited reactor in its chest. It has a face without eyes that serves as a decorative feature.
