The desert lands S/E of Cape Corinth teleporter has now been occupied by what has to be the biggest robot threat to Planet Calypso, the L4190 Entropy The Purger. That is not a misprint - it has a difficulty level of
4190!
The red-dot at the extreme edge of the scope told me it was massive in scale, and a green-dot just below it getting ever nearer to this behemoth, told me that someone with far greater 'firepower' than myself was attempting to have a go - this was my cue to go and investigate closer...
Unfortunately, just as I was getting nearer, it turned out that the lone hunter had overestimated his or her chances, because the green-dot was suddenly no more, and so I had no cover to try and get a good close-up shot - but I pressed ahead anyway, hoping I could time it just right before I got retired myself.
As if this factor in itself wasn't enough, I soon realised that the Purger wasn't alone, but that it had an escort of numerous L82 Vanguard Commanders, at least three of them.
I then realised that
Robot Command may have used a Vanguard Commander as a blueprint or engineering and constuction guide, because the Entropy The Purger looked almost identical and it's movement is practically the same. However, I wasn't able to ponder the point much further, as in the next instance it hit me once with something; probably some sort of energy beam, that sent me back to the nearest revive point in no uncertain terms.
I have no idea how many highly skilled colonists it would take to get the better of this metal monster, and over what length of time, but it must be a lot and probably something in the order of an hour at least. CDF has a problem on it's hands!!! ...
