Mister Handy

Mister Handies are a type of robot found in the Commonwealth, on the Island, and in Nuka-World in 2287.   Background The first Mister Handy was introduced to the robotics market in 2037 by General Atomics International, as a general-purpose construction and maintenance unit. Used widely on both the American and Mexican markets, especially after the Mexico City earthquake of 2042.   The units only required one major hardware update in 2039, to eliminate a bug causing interference in the operation of the multiple arms. The robots utilized Calpower 238B nuclear power units and self-maintenance modes. To minimize maintenance overhead, each Mr. Handy was designed to perform its nuclear fuel replacement and radiation cleansing.   The programming was incapable of learning or executing complex tasks without extensive programming. In order to maintain their market share, General Atomics entered into a joint venture with RobCo Industries, combining its talent with General Atomics' experience in robotics. The resulting model was capable of self-programming and initiative, utilizing three arms. Despite its sophistication, it was also cost-effective, making it the perfect domestic servant robot. The success of this model resulted in the development of several additional models, including dedicated medical and military versions.   Characteristics This particular model of Mister Handy has a chromed coating instead of having a more common white coloration as seen in previous iterations of Fallout. With its cheery hello, It also appears to have the more human-sounding voice module from Fallout 3, rather than the more robotic voice from Fallout: New Vegas.   Variants Mister Handy A base, unmodified version of Mr. Handy.   Nurse Handy A version of Mr. Handy encountered at Milton General Hospital, with two saw blade attachments.   Dr. Handy, M.D. A unique version of Mr. Handy encountered at Milton General Hospital, with a pincher and saw blade attachment.   Mister Handy wrecker The Mister Handy wrecker is a hostile version of the Mister Handy.

At the end of each of its arms is a red fan, which were used in conjunction with pressurized tanks in Mr Frothy's torso to spray guests with Nuka-Cola before the war. The raiders in Nuka-Town USA can sometimes be heard commenting on this. In 2287, the spray deals direct damage in addition to radiation damage to its targets.   Three Mr Frothies can be found in the Star Market, two broken ones at the Galactic Zone's entrance.
