RST "Bodyguard" - Light Support Bot
105
Minecraft Maps
Hey all. It's been a while since I've last put a build up on PMC, but here's something fun I made to fill the void.
The RST "Bodyguard" is a light support bot, designed as a simple robotic assault unit suitable for the infantry and peacekeeper units of corporation Reset Engineering. Standing at only around 5ft tall, the Bodyguard is by no means the most fearsome piece of technology out there, but they make useful companions for the average soldier. The Bodyguard is hardy and designed to take hits over flesh and blood, hence the designated name.

For a bit more lore and worldbuilding, see below:
Schematic is for MC version 1.16.4, but should work fine in higher versions. If anything breaks with the schematic, be sure to let me know so I can fix things (there may be some rails that, when updated, break. Sadly there is little I can do to fix this as I used world edit to place them).

Note about my builds - you are free to download them and use them for what you like (singleplayer, servers etc) provided that:
A) Any credit for the build is given to me / you do not try to claim the build as your own.
B) It is not monetised or placed behind any kind of paywall / you do not attempt to gain a profit off the build.

Background to the build
The corporate robotics manufacturer Reset engineering are well known for their various mechanical creations. Adept in the production of hydraulic limbs and robotic intelligence, Reset mastered their craft in the harsh depths of Venus, where only the most rugged of vehicles could walk the surface unscathed.
When Reset first ventured out into interstellar space, they took many of these lessons with them. Upon being forced to militarise as conflict escalated on the infamous exoplanet of Frontier, Reset hosted an unusual army of mechs and machines, spotted with infantry and aircraft of Venusian origin. Such a force would crumble under a typical engagement, but Reset had chosen their cards wisely - the canyons and crevasses of Frontier's desert, where no other corporation would expand into, proved perfect for a defensive conflict led by manoeuvrable machines.
The RST "Bodyguard" was engineered as a downscaled version of Reset's larger assault mech, the RST "Jester". The Bodyguard was assigned to infantry units, often as a pair, to be used to push urban areas and canyon walls without putting personnel into the line of fire. Although notably highly customisable, the Bodyguard typically carried a 20 mm autocannon as a main weapon, and a deployable micromissile launcher as a weapon against tougher targets. Bodyguards can be used as cover to advance upon a position, or deployed in a swarm to overwhelm enemy infantry. More benign uses include as a message relay and radio, which is attached to the Bodyguard's left side, which often earned the Bodyguard an additional title of "Paperboy".
The Bodyguard was not without its flaws - the autocannon was known for its limited ammo capacity, and although this could be solved with a drum magazine, said magazine frequently caused balance issues and bots would topple over with a light push. Future models solved this by attaching the magazine on top of the gun chassis and adding a counter weight to the Bodyguard's left side. Apart from this, the Bodyguard was a small and simple machine compared to some of Reset's other projects, and hence avoided many common reliability problems, earning it a positive, rugged reputation among infantry engineers and mechanists.
