| Designer Notes |
| Developed by Paxton Arms in the 1890s, the Fire Egg bomb drone has replaced most other similar machines on the market thanks to Paxton's massive advertising and public relations departments. Essentially a simple bomb-layer on treads, the radio or wire-guided Fire Egg is designed to deliver a massive explosive charge to a dangerous location. This is used mostly in demolition or mine-clearing exercises, as the massive explosion is sure to detonate any local ordnance. Unlike most other bomb drones, the Fire Egg does not explode itself when a charge is activated. Rather, it serves as a small compact platform for a heavy-duty demolition charge with a timer device which is dropped at a target locaiton. The drone then flees the scene to avoid being destroyed. Of course, this is not always possible when clearing a mine field, but the resulting detonation may do the job even if the drone's explosive charge(s) could not. It has become stereotypical for military demolitions experts to use Fire Egg drones for practical jokes. The canister holder can easily be used to lay stink bombs, gas canisters, or anything else one's imagination can come up with. |
