If you factor in aviable weapons, armor, perks, allies etc etc, who would be the strongest protagonist?General Fallout Thread
>>341984145
Maybe the Wanderer? If only for the Fatman.
Of course the Holy Hand Grenade was in Fallout 2. And Goris, the intelligent deathclaw.
>>341984145
That guy who took a fucking bullent into his head, was burried alive and still had 9+ intelligence.
>>341984145
Chosen would be a high pick. The weapons were all overpowered, and if he had a good combat build he could kill everyone else before they could even move.
Dweller would die every time, even with Power Armor and all the stat boosters he just dies too easy, crits happen too often, and the weapons available are under-powered or way too strong for the enemies available, while hyper weak against next game enemies.
Survivor is the wild card. He has literally all the tools of his predecessors, arguably the best armor sets, but his companions are just retreads and recreations of the previous game's companions.
Courier depends on mods or no mods, If mods he wins hands down.
I personally think the blank slate would totally trash the other blank slates.
>>341984145
The Warrior since he or his posse can roll up in a goddamn tank.
Courier has seen the most combat with the biggest variety of enemies canonically. Dude survived The Sierra Madre, Joshua Graham's Tribal Adventure, Big MT and Lonesome Road.
>>341984145
Can't the Survivor level up indefinitely?
That means a maxed out Survivor could have 99 in all stats, making him a force to be reckoned with
>>341987017
The systems change in between games. There was a level 20 cap in Fallout 1. Wouldn't it make more sense to judge by what they accomplish canonically?
>>341984145
Courier is basically fucking Terminator with his brain, heart and spine missing, on top of all the implants you can get.
>>341987161
The Courier is more machine than man?
The Courier is Frank Horrigan of the Mojave?
>>341987349
Even before OWB he was full of cyborg implants from the NV Medical Clinic.
>>341984145
Dweller.
Seriously, Dweller can become so broken that none of the others have even a sliver of chance of besting him.
Chosen is second, because he's more balanced.
>>341985039
The Courier has access to Fat Man launchers too, even an upgraded one.
>>341985039
Courier by far. The guy has bionic implants, some of which were designed by the best scientists of the old world. He also has a giant army beside him no matter what ending you choose, the guy's also battled way stronger enemies than all the others.
>>341984145
Haven't played 1 and 2 but courier.
>>341987906
Opinion discarded.
>picking a fight with the Vault Dweller
You fucked up
>>341985039
Courier could have Archimedes what the fuck can even survive that?
>>341988280
overrated weapon, it's meant for splash damage it's not actually as powerful as you would think. i used to use it against Ranger and Legion hit squads and it never killed anyone. it's good for crippling legs though.
>>341988419
I ended up modding it to fit its lore description.
The one that's a goddamn cyborg (why did they even give you the option of going back to inferior fleshy bits?)
The Chosen since he can develop his Unarmed to such an ability he can 1-punch a Deathclaw.
Lets tally it up by their availible weapons, armor and feats
Dweller
>Went inside Mariposa with only a dog, came out alive
>managed to bamboozle an entire cult
>dealt with the Master
>survived the Glow without power armor
>Most probably had a hardened T51-b, and a turbo plasma repeater
>wandered the wastes ,then founding Arroyo
>Chosen
>Dealt with the rebuilt Mariposa
>Dealt with the Enclave on the Oilrig
>Beat Frank Horrigan
>came from bumfuck nowhere, became a village elder
>Did have a lot of followers, one of them fucking MARCUS
>Enclave armor, probably some Gauss weapon or the Bozar
>Warrior
Didn't play but
>Professinally trained soldier, has a smaller squad to work with, probably biggest arsenal
>Wanderer
>Blew up an enclave base that was manned by an inferior enclave force than the one on the oil rig
>Blew up the Mobile base
>Went to the Pitt, dealt with a slave uprising, dealt with pre-war spy fuckery and cults in PL, has an alien mothership with a laser cannon
cont
The one with a spaceship.
>>341989427
>probably armed with Hellfire armor, Fatman
>Most of his feats was done with help of the brotherhood, secret agents, giant robots etc
>Courier
>Shot in the head but survives
>Cyborg after OWB, has more implants than it was possible to get in FO1&2
>Participated in the biggest war after the apocalypse
>Survived the Madre, Tribal boogaloo, Divide
>Has Big Mountain working for him
>Stopped a second nuclear holocaust
>Can possibly have an army of securitrons, the NCR's support or the Legion's behind him
>could be a better unarmed/melee combatant than the Chosen
>could have an orbital cannon as a weapon
>Enclave Power Armor
>Survivor
>was pre-war soldier/lawyer
>errand runner for the BoS/Institute/Railroad/Minute man, but also has their support
>could have acces to a zeppelin, not to mention Liberty Prime OR an army of Synths, or a smaller army of randys from the wasteland from his own settlements
>Probably the most skilled crafters
Conclusion:
>>341985039
Holy Hand Grenade showed up in NV
>>341989963
Liberty prime would get rekt from the couriers space laser though
>>341989963
While the Wanderer does have a Space ship, that's probably his strongest point, and potentially ,the courier or fuck, even Liberty Prime could deal with that, so it's probably not him
If they have no backups/followers, it would come down Between the Courier and the Dweller. The dweller had the hardest time, because he had no help for most of his adventures, other than a retarded dog, or followers who die in two shots to regular Super Mutants
I think it would come down between the Courier, Dweller, and Chosen, and while the chosen and Dweller have more impressive feats, the Chosen has had a lot of help from others, so he could be the weakest of the three. While the Dweller has arguably the most impressive feat of all, dealing with the Master and his Army alone, the Courier is ridicilously powerful by the end of New Vegas, and could probably survive even a death blow if his brain was back in Big MT. The courier also has acces to better weapons and armor than any of these 3
>>341984145
Dweller > Courier = Warrior > Chosen > Survivor(man) > Wanderer > Survivor(women)
>>341990430
>Liberty Prime could deal with a spaceship
>Something so inmeasurably more advanced that it's like comparing a Laser Rifle to a stone axe
>While In Space
>From the Ground
>>341990430
How the hell could anything reach the spaceship when it's in space? Sure maybe the Big Mountain science brains could whip up a teleporter that could transport the courier into the ship itself.
>>341990640
Liberty prime recognizes Orbital weaponry, as seein in both vanilla FO3, Broken Steel and in FO4.
By the time of FO4, the BoS probably did something to counter orbital weaponry, because that's how he got blown up the first time.
Also, the courier has a fucking space laser, and has Big MT, where he can literally teleport to, and could probably have it target the space ship or something.
Not to mention that the wanderer doesn't actually understand how to controll the canon, let alone how to aim it, you can only fire it at fucking Canada or something.
>>341989578
>>341990430
>>341990640
>>341990862
Mothership isn't canonOr at least, it fucking shouldn't be
>>341990640
Isn't the ship from Zeta pretty much non-functioning at the end of the DLC? Half of it got blown off no?
I don't see what the ship is actually going to do. The part with the laser is kaput.
>>341984145
Wander because he literally has a spaceship with a death ray.
The Courier, objectively speaking, because he wields my raifu.
>>341984145
Survivor. The FO4 power armor is the real shit. ON a side note, all I want from FO4 is a fucking warhammer 40k mod, is that so hard?
>>341991224
The best Power Armor you can get is the regular Enclave Power armor that you can pimp out to the Enhanced one. Canonically, the Hellfire armor is the best power armor.
>>341990968
I think we all agree with you.
Sadly it is canon.
Ayylmaos caused the nukes to drop.
>>341991510
Its one fucking tape, and we don't even know if the ayylmaos understood human speech at all.Besides, wasn't it established in 2 that the chinks dropped the first nuke?
>>341991169
Also leads the wasteland at the end, pretty neato
>>341991649
>implying he didn't choose house or NCR
>>341991643
>Besides, wasn't it established in 2 that the chinks dropped the first nuke?
Are you suggesting Bethesda cares? Have you seen what they did to the lore?
>>341991510
Why does everyone say that?
I know they interrogated someone with the launch codes but to be fair they also interrogated a cow.
Is there something I missed?
>>341991643
I thought it was depressed ai.
>>341991753
>kid_in_fridge.jpg
BUT BUT OUR DEVELOPERS WERE HAVING FUN
>>341991787
I think you're giving Bethesda too much slack.
Their writers are not clever enough to leave something ambiguous. You know dam well they were suggesting it was aliens who launched those nukes.
>>341991643
Remember how it was established in 2 that Jet was was the result of the fumes from Cow Shit?
It's almost like it's been established already that Bethesda doesn't care about lore.
>>341992094
So why would anyone care about what they bring to the lore? I know I don't.
>>341992094
>Pre-war Chinese submarine in Fallout 4
>Jet inside
>Nuka Cola ads inside
>Pre-war vault tech computer entries about sending Jet and Psycho to a vault
>T-51b was established as being the peak of military engineering before the war, used only months before the nukes fell
>T-45d introduced in Fallout 3 as an earlier version that wasn't as strong
>Fallout 4 decides they needed to have T-45 on the cover again, so suddenly T-60 is a thing, and it looks exactly like T-45d, and it's not even explained away like "The institute made this after the war" or "this was a Brotherhood project" or anything, it's just fucking there and it's on shit like that painting at the museum of history
I HATE IT
I HATE IT ALL
>>341992094
In 2 Mrs. Bishop claimed Jet was at least pre Myron.
If BIS gets a pass on Jet so should Bethesda.
>>341992603
LOL WHO CARES NERDS IT'S A GAME WITH GHOULS IN IT, IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO BE REALISTIC!Someone pull the trigger. It needs to die.
>>341992628
BIS admitted it's a anachronism error. Bethesda said it was a fantasy game and only nerds cared about lore.
Courier literally becomes cyborg cowboy Jesus after the expansions
>>341992603
Literally t-60 could have been a brotherhood project. I 100% agree with you.
And it's even got a reason for being all over the wastes too cuz maxson was an idiot
>>341984145
Lone Wanderer has it because they had the Experimental MIRV.
8 FUCKING MINI-NUKES AT ONCE.
It's not even close to my favorite of the series but you just can't beat that.
>>341984145
No love for the Warrior? Guy had fucking tank, army of intelligent deathclaws and potentially an ass ton of killer robots.
>>341986705
Yeah, but it's not a great tank.
Ok, the only New Vegas DLC's I've played are OWB and HH.
Which one gives you that bitchin armor?
>>341993292
Lonesome Road.
>>341993178
Theres no explanation as to why it looks near identical to the t45 armor though. It's just Bethesda trying to shoehorn in their designs.
>>341992839
Not exactly.
Never let facts get in the way of a good argument though.
As to BIS what you ship is what matters.A post facto "whoops" doesn't mean a thing.
Is ship a game then explain what they meant to do a hallmark of old school RPG devs?
>>341993292
Lonesome Road, but the pattern on the back changes depending on who you side with.
NCR has a bear.
Legion has a bull.
Yesman has a 21.
House has the US flag looking one you can see in the picture.
>>341993346
There could have tho.
It's basicly a heavier 45 armour so it could have been a result of research on liberty prime or the tesla armour.
That would have at least made sense
>>341993536
I'm fine with the 21, always wished I could use the vault suit late game.
Does it make sense to do that DLC first in my current playthrough?
>>341993191
The Mini-nuke MIRVs can release 9, looks like FO3 and the Wanderer lose again.
>>341993536
Thinks the duster is bitchin.
Shit taste confirmed.
Anon clearly meant the riot armor.
>>341993675
I mean realistically you can do any first, but remember than NV DLCs, aside from Honest Hearts, do not level scale. LR has the highest set level of any of the DLCs, so going there at level 1 might be an issue.
Completing them in release order is fine if you going for a canonical run. I prefer HH > OWB > DM > LR, but it's up to you.
>>341984145
Courier has access to a fucking HELIOS orbital space laser weapon that can turn any other protag into cinder.
>>341990889
I doubt the brotherhood would have the foresight to expect another enemy with a friggin space laser. Maybe some sort of plasma shield, but that's a stretch.
>>341993512
It indicates a policy and attitude toward lore consistency. Also indicates how valuable authenticity is as a production value. This matters when the next game is made cause it indicates a trajectory.
It's the reason there's Super Mutants in Fallout 3 and why the Nightkin in NV have schizophrenia.

>>341984145
why are fallout characters always white? i didn't know bethesda was this racist
Finally decided to get around to playing 2
I heard a while ago that melee is very fun in 2, is that a fine build for a first time playing?
Also should I do a run without the restoration mod first or is it essential?
>>341984145
Generals belong on >>>/vg/
>>341994435
melee/unarmed is only for people who know the game on a moderate level. I didn't play the game with any mods and I had a good time.
Unarmed is fantastic though, you should definitely give it a go at one point.
>>341993894
I beat Lonesome Road on PS3 at level 8 for the laugh, was fucking hard and annoying but does sort you out with a lot of nice gear to power through the rest, makes all the other DLCs weirder though with the "hear about your future/past from characters in this DLC"
>>341993218
Don't forget that the killer robots can keep on building more killer robots including killer robot tanks.
The Warrior could probably turn into Enclave 2.0 if he really wanted to, he's got the resources and facilities for it.
>>341995259
The Midwest Brotherhood is basically its own country now, right?
>>341994523
Generals are allowed on /v/ dumb ass
>>341995918
Depends of Bethesda and their new canon.
But yeah, if the Warrior decided to donate his brain to the Calculator, he is probably Skynet levelthe movie one, not the fallout one
>>341995918
Tactics is semi canon, meaning that it's major events are canon, as long as a main line game doesn't contradict it.
The Mid-western brotherhood itself is canon though, because it's referenced in FO3 terminals. Also the BoS in NV references it too, if i remember correctly
>>341995259
Is Tactics even considered Canon anymore? I remember there being like two references in NV, and nothing in mainline 3 or 4.
>>341994523
Read the rule dumbass, you can have a general discussion about a videogame on /v/, so very sorry we're not talking about E-Clebs opinions on Fallout.
>>341996012
Cool. I'll go ahead and inform all of /vg/ that they can come back to /v/ together.
The one in the game I like the most in the series, because nobody here is biased.
The Courier is definitely the strongest but the Dweller is responsible for the massive changes that happened in the wasteland, if it wasn't for his actions, none of the other protagonists would be even alive by the time their adventures took place.
>>341996105
>Midwest BoS show up in Fallout 5
>turns out General Barnaky is the canon brain in the Calculator
>spend half the game getting yelled at by Lee 'make the Wasteland great again' Emery
I'd play it.
>>341996129
Caesar said that the Legion had a run in with a scout or scribe when they went looking east, Centurion armor has pieces of power armor but it couldn't be from the Mojave chapter as they're unaware of Caesar's Legion.
I want a Midwest BoS vs Caesar's Legion, but not the Midwest power armor its gross.
>>341996216
It's a matter of coincidence that the Fallout 4 protagonist is the weakest and is in the worst game.
>>341985042
Kek
>>341984145
Doesn't the Wanderer have control of an alien ship that can raze continents? He's probably the strongest if we count that.
The rest ranked:
Courier
Chosen One
Vault Dweller
Sole Survivor
Melee high luck jinxed vault dweller
>>341984145
They team up
>>341984145
The Chosen with +10 Luck would absolutely be the sole survive if it came to a fight. The rest would probably accidentally shoot themselves or fall on their Rippers.
>>341996832
The Courier is super human and also (potentially) owns an orbital laser cannon, an army (of either super death-robots, the entirety of the NCR, all of Caesar's Legion and your own personal posse), all of the weapons available in New Vegas, all of the implants and more importantly; Implant GRX
>>341992013
>>341992094
So conjecture. Great job, guys. I don't know why I expected more from /v/.
>>341988048
>Thumbnail made it look like he was wearing a giant funnel hat
>>341997428
Jog my memory, what does the GRX do again?
>>341991169
You mean the Anti Material Rifle right anon?
>>341997530
possible to have Turbo for 6-seconds, with maximum 10 GRX to activate that restores itself every 24 in-game hours. Or, activate all 10 GRX altogether for slow-mo, the game
>>341987814
>the guy's also battled way stronger enemies than all the others.
Someone's forgetting who the Chosen One fought at the ending of their game.
>>341997446
You know Todd if you didn't put in place a bunch of stupid shit to begin with, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
>>341997428
I hope that laser canon is actually strong lorewise cause it's just barely stronger than 1 bullet from some of the strongest guns gameplaywise.
>>341991169
Why does everyone love the medicine stick?
>>341997742
yeah the Courier also a few perks that put people into a permanent ragdoll/stunned state
>>341997659
That sounds fucking awesome, I might pick that up on my next playthrough
>>341998070
I don't know, it doesn't put out enough led in under a minute for me.
>>341998070
Because it's a good gun
>>341998070
Good design
One of the strongest guns in the game
Is lever action so it satisfies the cowboylust that New Vegas tends to give
>>341998159
I recommend doing an unarmed run, and pumping the shit out of your Endurance to withstand all Implants, and shitting all other points into agility so you can Fist of The North Star everyone who opposes you.
>>341997525
>>341998070
Because everyone likes to role play as a cowboy in NV and the medicine stick is the best gun to use in a cowboy build.
Chosen...he actually caused his creation by going back in time and accidentally breaking FO1s waterchip.
All the super weapons of later games can be negated or counted as a negative thanks to the Jinxed trait. Causes weapons to miss big time, lose all their ammo, explode, or hit their own user.
>>341998153
And the Chosen One has a few perks that make you constantly miss and punch yourself in the face.
Which is why these debates never actually accomplish anything.
>>341996548
> Centurion armor has pieces of power armor
Could be recovered from NCR heavy armor.
>>341998627
10 luck is equal to 5 when it comes to jinxed, Fallout 3 onwards makes it too easy to hit 10 luck.
2 words, fuckers:
>Securitron
>Army
>>341998857
Possible since its a T-45d piece and hardly any BoS use that model
>>341984145
survivor because he can launch a real nuke
>>341998404
Sweet thanks
Isn't the Survivor an Advanced Synth according to the Fallout DLC which explains why he is able to take out raider camps like Coursers. Survivor wins.
>>341999793

To be fair big MT has
One who is baffled by Zero
One who can be beaten by showing a teddy bear/and or breathing in the general vicinity of.
One who can be beaten by waggling your penis fingers at.
This is what passes as genius on the west coast.
The Lone Wander and The Courier would both annihilate every other protagonist.
As for a match between those two, I'd say The Lone Wander would win since he's survived situations that are far worse than being shot in the head and because he literally owns an alien mothership.
Basically, the powerlevel goes:
Wanderer>Courier>Survivour>Dweller>Chosen One
Chosen One with high agility and luck, the sniper perk, better criticals, bonus rate of fire, and an end game weapon can one-shot entire squads of Enclave soldiers before they can even get a shot off.
>>342000567
1950s Americans, that's who.
>>341990968
That's for Bethesda to decide and you know damn well how only their version of the Fallout matters while they try their best to bury the legacy it was built on

>>341991753
>Have you seen what they did to the lore?
nothing changed until 4, and it's considered the worst in the series, I'm pretty sure Bethesda knows had badly pete fucked up.
>>341984145
Dweller has himself and perhaps a few really good friends, a party no more.
Chosen probably has his village and MAYBE the NCR if you are incredibly generous, a start-up, initial stages NCR.
Wanderer probably has the BoS (gay chapter), almost certainly. He could probably wrangle some assets from either Tenpenny or Megaton too. Vault 111's shitty people too maybe.
Courier is definitely capable of calling on the boomers, and is likely capable of calling on one of either: Legion (and probably the spearhead of their forces) the NCR (their desert rangers and a considerable detachment) an entire legion of almost CERTAINLY loyal robots, or maybe possibly House if he feels like it.
Mr/Mrs baby gon bad have the same BoS as the wanderer (with balls returned from purse) a giant factory full of gay robots that know how to fight but not how to plot, and SCIENCE!(?), a bunch of peasant militiamen who are incapable of their most basic requirement, or edgy robot teenagers.
I think its an honest toss-up between the Courier and Survivor, if we're talking all-out all-resources battle. In a straight fight its probably the Chosen, since you could make a seriously, seriously SERIOUSLY broken Chosen with the right stats.

It just goes to show what happens when west coast super cyborgs come east.
Courier should stay a big fish in a small pond and not try to play with the big boys.
>>341997292
Better question: If all of them teamed up, where would they rule? What would each on be in charge of? How would each deal with threats differently? Would there be in-fighting? Basically, how would they work as a team?

It's simple. See they abducted a kid from a vault to make synths from his DNA, then killed his biological and equally preserved parents plus all other occupants in the cyrovault, then they made a perfect synth copy of the father that had been rotting in a tube for decades before synth tech was mastered for the explicit purpose of psychologically torturing it with a synth version of what it thought was it's own son. That way when the synth the institute made and programmed might choose to take over as head of the institute that oppresses synths.

I think it was a dumping ground for all the quirky references that would be too disruptive to have in the base game. Take Fallout 2, for example. Just about everyone agrees it's a great game, but the #1 complaint by far was the constant pop culture references. At least with Wacky Wasteland, base game is spared about a dozen or so of them.
>>341986705
don't forget still functional NORAD center inside of Cheyenne Mountain with built-in fully autonomous robot factory at his disposal.
>>342001791
You forget that Big MT also made the Cazadors and the Nightstalkers. Their bioengineering is only rivaled by the guys who made the sentient Deathclaws in FO2. They also have a shit ton of old tech stashed away like the stealth suit MKII. Big MT may be run by idiot robots, but they're well armed idiot robots.

im kind of confused about who decided the t-60 was a great idea....after all the upgrades that went into the t-45 to make it the t51...then they decide to backpedal and use the same design they replaced?
i would have taken a renamed t-60 as a stop-gap version between the t-51 but this is just silly

The GECK is a supplementary device that contains data, schematic and the technology to produce to items to help repopulate the waste. It is not a fix everything maguffin.

Nope.

Fact. Todd said so.

>What about them?
They were in the west using mutie army rejects, specifically created by the mutie army
>>West Tek and Vault Tech are now apparently the same thing
Lord Todd said it to be so.
>East Coast use caps as a currency
That was a west thing, they could have used something else. Lord Todd is lazy.
>That Lovecraft building
Howard Powell was an autist.
>>Building a town around a fucking bomb
That was more a rule of cool decision by lord todd laws of logic need not apply
>t45 power armor
They were discontinued before the nukes and entirely replaced by the t-51 if they were to exist they should have been a rare item. Everybody has one.
>Mothership Zeta as a whole
It killed some of the underlying darkness in the lore where humanity kek'd itself, replacing it with a silly ayy lmao. Lord Todd is amused by the idea.
>Ghoul and Synth dindus
A murderer is murderer, being a nigg- synth is not an excuse. Tenpenny tower ghouls had it coming.
Why is there no all female BoS squad?
>>342003857
Anyone claiming the GECK was always a terraforming device is either baiting or a 3 babby.
That was the point of Fallout 2. A primitive tribe turned a box of seeds and a portable generator into a legend, it was being reunited with the V13 dwellers and the chosen one's leadership that saved Arroyo.

Chosen with Slayer and Sniper. Aside from the almost guaranteed criticals, he's able to aim for the eyes and the groin to blind/incapacitate opponents.
If we're including Tactics, then Warrior.
>>342004285
Whats wrong with fan service?
>>342004205
Cause the Brotherhood cares not for your political views. Plus its a "Brotherhood" every squad should have a brother.

If this is strictly a big MT vs Inst then the Cazadores "Oh Fuck" poison factor is mitigated by the gen 1 and 2 s being immune to poison.
If it is East v West the Assaultrons can be retasked to pest control.
Cazadores are only problematic on the west coast.They struggle with Deathclaws so it is no surprise.

>>342005072
>Drab, boring visual design
Visual design in 4 is about the same.
>Poor NPC interaction
It's worse in 4 because of the gimped dialog system.
>Uninviting 'open world'
I don't even know what you mean by this.
>God awful 'dungeon' design
It's basically Skyrim in 4.

If you think the inventory and healing in 3 is "tedious" I'm surprised you can even read this post.

Vault 87 muties was a lazy, dumb, nigger decision cause Bethesda can't into creativity.
>That was a west thing, they could have used something else. Lord Todd is lazy.
>People can't travel anymore? No one can think alike?
Yes. Again its bethesda not wanting to cast the lure to far into open waters.

The facts are stupid and i'll thought, it was made by a board of people afraid of losing a playerbase by simply being different. 10/10 loyal drone.

What this guy >>342005456 said
Securitrons have rockets, bullets, and grenades.
Assaultrons have a laser.
Also this makes me want a Securitron mod for Fallout 4's robot workshop
As bad as Fallout 4 is it sure has a lot of cool ideas
>>342005072
Visual design is much improved
NPC interaction is worse
Open World is p good now
Dungeon design is Skyrim
Item management still tedious, but improved

Bullshit, 4 is much more colorful than 3.
>>342005723
They'll use their machineguns as propellants to fly. Also Protectrons are a RobCo product, Securitrons could probably just control them.
