Rex Turbo

The final Rex robot before the plague was unfortunately never finished. The Rex Turbo was a highly advanced, redesign of the Super Rex. It was built from the ground up to utilize all of the technological advancements made since the release of its predecessor, and it even inmcluded some features of the T-Rex. It was set to be mid 2020. Some prototypes exist but no complete models were ever built.

History
After the T-Rex incident Rex began working on a secret project to create a replacement for the Super Rex who's sales had begun to stagnate. It had a similar framework but it would weigh far less and be much more efficient using an energy cell instead of a fuel tank.

In some designs it had numerous built in weapon systems for a possible military varient. These were never built into protoypes due to the fallout from the T-Rex incident.

There were about twenty prototype units in various stages of development at the time the plague hit. Some of these used a living brain similar to the Locust, while others used traditional AI and CPU. The Meteor AI was used in the these versions. It was a direct decendant of the Super Rex's Comet AI.

Features
The Rex Turbo was by far the most technologically advanced Rex ever desgined and arguably the most advanced synthetic being until the creation of the Posthumans decades after the plague.

Its face was similar to a gasmask, with two bug eyes and a vent that doubled as a speaker. Later prototypes can be mistaken for humans. It was a darker color than its predecessors and had a slimmer silhouette. It posessed five fingers just like the Super Rex.

It could lift slightly more than the Super Rex but it did so much more quietly, nearly silently in fact. A Super Rex lifting a heavy object sounded like a forklift.

In cyborg versions, the brain was wired into the fiberoptic cables that ran through its body. This inventive design gave the Turbo animal-like reflexes. It posessed synthetic muscles not unlike those in the similarly designed Simulants. They gave the Turbo a natural, flowing movement when it walked or moved, avoiding the jerky movements of older robots.

Like most advanced AIs and cyborgs, each Turbo had unique personalities that slowly fermented over time through a process called solidification.
