Tigri-Exploring Manakala

This is the un-cropped image of D-XpQ 09 "Tigri" drone seen exploring Manakala (p)universe used in my previous deviation:loone-wolf.deviantart.com/art/… .

It was named Tigri because its laser scanner device on both side of its cheek making an appearance similar to feline's whiskers as they activates.

D-XpQ 09 "Tigri" is a quadrupedal drone powered by 3-cell plasma reactor unit. After the war on Earth stopped and humans finally get to explore the planets, these drones are the primary scout and exploration of new areas including hazardous and hard-to-reach areas such as dark and cramped cavern, such as depicted above. The initial variant of Tigri has seen widespread use from combat and reconnaissance to search and destroy operation. Mainly used as a supporting unit during the 5 years drone war from 2020 to 2025. It is originally powered by one small plutonium cell. Later it was upgraded with 2 and 3-cell plasma reactor unit for better efficiency and lesser operational hazards.

In June 2035 it finally get a totally new role. Rather than to take lives, it is now on a mission to search for lives. One example, shown above is the exploration variant with much of the chasis unchanged only with no weapon equipped. Major modifications are being done with the operating system and the sensory array in it's head, such as the Ultrascan optical sensory in the middle of it's head that able to detect traces of DNA and analyze it on the spot, even doung molecular analysis and sending near-lab quality data real time back to the controller. It is also equipped with two 3-point laser scanning device on each of it's cheek to map any terrain found in new areas. Some D-XpQ 09 are equipped with special manipulator and container mounted on it's back and under it's belly to collect samples.
