However, these efforts were ineffective: the only functional unit created by Doctor 0 was Muggy, a miniature, cookware-obsessed robot. Ī large number of PDQ-88b securitron units were acquired by the Big MT company for reverse engineering (fueled by Doctor 0's bitter hatred of Robert House), with the aim of creating a superior model. House and Yes Man, the combat effectiveness of each securitron unit is improved by 235% by the upgrade.

The Mk II operating system enables the M-235 missile launchers, the rapid-fire G-28 grenade launching system and the auto-repair system. The Mk I operating system lacks drivers for the auto-repair systems and shoulder-mounted weapons, limiting the robot's arsenal to the built-in X-25 Gatling laser and the 9mm submachinegun. The PDQ-88b securitron supports two operating systems: Mk I and Mk II. Thus armed, a securitron can handle nearly any combat situation. The robots also have onboard auto-repair systems to repair any damage sustained from combat. However, these are only secondary weapons: concealed compartments in its shoulders contain M-235 missile launchers for long range and surface-to-air engagements, and a rapid-fire G-28 grenade launching system for close range engagements. For close-range suppression and crowd control, the securitron mounts a 9mm submachinegun in its right arm. X-25 Gatling laser for medium range engagements. Its left arm contains a Glastinghouse, Inc. The PDQ-88b securitron is a large, monowheel robot with a titanium alloy housing, resistant to shrapnel and small arms fire, with a screen capable of displaying a wide array of images, from static images to pre-War commercials.
