Let me get that off the top shelf for you.
Developed by the Luna-Tesla Corporation to deal with their massive warehouses without fear of human casualties and OSHA violations, the heavy loader is a fine replacement to the stocker. Dutiful and needing little to no resources, these durable machines have served for a long time. Some models have even shown up in other roles, such as the fire department to handle evacuation from high up floors, and moving companies.
Heavy loaders are centaur-like construction and maintenance robots, with four powerful stocky legs ending in wheels that can easily tilt to become feet, a headless body with three red optics on a disc for a "face", and with arms that end in forked metal slats not unlike a forklift. It's not exactly designed for fine manipulation, but for the large boxes they are expected to work with it is perfect.
Heavy loaders are about 7 feet tall and weighs about 8,400 pounds.
Combat[edit]
Heavy loaders are not programmed for combat, but if forced into combat or malfunctioning, they are powerful if dumb brutes who excel at heavy attacks with their grabbing slats.
Heavy Lifter (Ex): Heavy loaders are designed for, well, heavy loading. The heavy loader acts as a creature a size larger with a +8 higher strength for the purpose of carrying capacity. As a result its light load is 3200 lb. or less, its medium load is 3201-6400 lb., and its heavy load is 6400-9600 lb.
Programming: The heavy loader possesses the following programs: Collect, Identify Object, Reposition, Search, and Sort.
Stability (Ex): Heavy loaders have stability as a dwarf, gaining a +4 bonus.
Stretch Legs (Ex): Heavy loaders can stretch their legs out as a move action, growing progressively taller but being much slower and delicate in their movements until they shrink. They can stretch up to 50 ft tall, allowing them to reach things normally out of reach. Their movement speed drops to 5 ft and they lose their stability bonus until they shrink again.
Construction[edit]
Heracles-216 Heavy Loaders are build out of a composite of many different metals, plastics, and alloys which must be processed in a factory. In addition its computer core requires special components and programming. The cost of the base material components are worth 800 gp.
Assembling the body requires a DC 19 Craft (technology) check, a DC 19 Knowledge Engineering, or a DC 19 Knowledge Xeno check.
CL 7th; Craft Construct, enlarge person, lesser geas; Price 8,000 gp; Cost 3,600 gp + 288 XP.
