Toy Dispenser's main ability is to control a large number of semi-autonomous combat drones. The exact capability of the Mastermind class Droid Control android may forever remain a mystery, however, as Toy Dispenser is usually seen with no more than six combat drones at his side. It is rumored that he has a much wider network of active drones and such rumors are true, though he lacks a direct connection at all times to the 'lesser' drones in his army. The key to Toy Dispenser's combat ability is his direct control over all six of his personnal combat drones. Toy is able to see through their eyes as easily as through his own and is just as aware of their surroundings as they are. No known countermeasures have been developed for this ability, as it seems to be impossible to identify the link between him and his six drones.
Able to coordinate with the speed of electronic thought, Toy and his six drones react like a hand controlled by a single mind when in combat situations. When not in combat, their individual personalities come to the fore once again as they regain access to emotional thought processes. This has resulted in Toy's dual personalities and he considers the way he acts while in combat to be the 'real' him, regardless of how more often he's been using his 'fake' personality.
--Personnal Minions--
Battle Drone: Mini Bot
Personality: Child-like, naive, inquisitive, sometimes utterly sadistic.
Brief Bio: Mini Bot was the first of Toy Dispenser's robots to gain intelligence through use of a lightning bolt. Having attempted this experiment several times before, Toy was unprepared for the battle drone to suddenly leap to its feet and start gamboling about like a six year old child. Since then Mini Bot has served in Toy's personnal entourage.
Upgrades: Mini Bot has recieved the second most visual upgrade of Toy Dispenser's drones. Painted a bright red, both of Mini Bot's hands have been replaced by a four fingered claw mount. Each claw has a single small laser gun attatched to it on the top of the wrist.
Protruding from Mini Bot's back are two whip-like tentacles with a three-pronged pincer at the end.
Capabilities: The 'gunslinger' laser set up appears to be able to function as well as the triple laser mount of previous models, allowing Mini Bot to fire a heavy laser burst and full auto laser attack as desired. In addition, the pincers on its tentacles can flatten out and spin rapidly, forming very powerful buzzsaws. These pincers are lined with some very strong metal and have so far been able to penetrate any and all Longbow armor within a second or two of contact.
"Heyheyheyheyheyhey! Let's play!"
Battle Drone: Toy Bot
Personality: Logical, precise, and even-headed. Toy Bot is the most robot-like of all of Toy Dispenser's drones.
Brief Bio: The second drone to gain intelligence, Toy Bot didn't seem to change much, which has always disappointed Toy Dispenser. But Toy Bot makes himself useful and manages to differentiate himself from the rest, so Toy keeps him around.
Upgrade: Painted bright green. In the most radical physical upgrade of Toy Dispenser's drones, Toy Bot's leg assembly has been replaced with a four-legged system. In addition, both arms have been replaced by what appears to be modified Rikti technology. As guns attatched to the torso by a thin, flexible looking arm, it does not appear that Toy Bot has been redesigned with melee combat in mind.
Capabilities: Firing bolts that look and act amazingly like Rikti Repulsor Rifle blasts, Toy Bot remains capable of the combat style attributed to early model drones. The only difference is that each individual attack has a much greater chance to unbalance and knock over its target, due to the increased mass of the projectiles. In addition, Toy Bot has been seen to climb up walls and ceilings. It is unknown how it accomplishes this.
"You have less than zero point five percent chance of victory. Surrender now."
Battle Drone: Small Toy
Brief Bio: Recognizing the need for a back-up sensor system, Toy decided to alter his third battle drone's chasis into what is now Small Toy. Unlike the other drones, Small Toy appears to have gained his personality from this reconstruction. Toy Dispenser, having included several parts of his own code in Small Toy's mind, considers those bits of code to blame. Small Toy works fine, though, so he's not overly concerned.
Personality: Unknown. In contrast to the other drones, Small Toy makes little to no small talk while fighting. It is theorized that Small Toy does not talk because it is too shy or can't think of anything to say. A more likely reason would be that's it's personality is more rudimentary than the others. Either claim is almost impossible to find out without speaking to the actual drone itself or Toy Dispenser.
Upgrade: Painted flat gray. The most drastic change to Small Toy's chasis has been the replacement of the right arm with a foldable bi-pod particle beam rifle. This lends credance to earlier claims by personnel that Small Toy acted as the sniper of the group, preferring to hang back and attack weak points for massive damage. The beam rifle appears able to fire as Small Toy is moving, though it is much more accurate if the drone has unfolded it and has the bi-pod deployed. The beam itself is very thin, but seems capable of punching through multiple Longbow troopers at once, making this a very powerful weapon. In addition, Small Toy has been equipped with a stealth system, more powerful sensors, and a small extendable 'Ghost Slayer' dagger in its left claw wrist.
Capabilities: Although powerful, Small Toy's weaponry is limited. The beam rifle can be fired only once every six seconds and the dagger is only useful for close range combat. The stealth system is most often used to remain undetected for as long as possible before releasing at least one, perfectly aimed and timed shot. The advanced sensors improve Small Toy's usage as a scout, mainly because whatever Small Toy can see, Toy Dispenser can see.

Protector Bot: Large Toy
Brief Bio: Third drone activated overall, Large Toy developed a very useful personality after being hit multiple times for a very torqued off Aurora Borealis' psychic blasts. Toy Dispenser was never really able to work out how that happened, but Large Toy's personality is ok and so Toy has let it keep on.
Personality: Large Toy has the personality of a professional soldier, neither as excitable as Mini Bot nor as bloodthirsty as Combat Toy. Among all of Toy Dispenser's drones, only Large Toy calls him 'sir'; the others always refer to Toy Dispenser as 'boss'.
Upgrade: Painted light blue. Little seems to have changed on the outside of Large Toy. It is theorized that Toy Dispenser considered the 'out-of-the-box' protector bot model almost as perfect as could be and stuck to making only minor alterations.
Capabilities: Along with what a normal protector bot can do, Large Toy's nanite beam has been altered to work on organic targets as well as inorganic ones. In addition, each standard Seeker Drone launched from Large Toy's internal bay is accompanied by a modified Buzzer Drone. A Buzzer Drone is effectively a Seeker Drone without the flashbang explosives and mounted with a buzzsaw blade a lot like that of Mini Bot.
"Engaging on your order, sir!"
Protector Bot: Block Bot
Brief Bio: Toy Dispenser wants to hit himself in the head for ever thinking of integrating that alien metal he found into Block Bot. Sure it made him almost completely impossible to be destroyed, but it also made Block Bot one of the most annoying people Toy has to put up with. It's interesting how the metal has merged with Block Bot's structure, though, so Toy keeps him around if only for the sheer unknown factors that he can learn.
Personality: Depressed, inconsolable, annoyed. A Longbow grunt once described Block Bot as "The emo one". This is based on Block Bot's tendancy to complain about how much it's life sucks, among other, more trivial things. Typically the first thing a patrol hears when Toy Dispenser is not worried about stealth is Block Bot whining about something and Mini Bot giggling.
Upgrades: Painted dark blue. As with Large Toy, there are no distinguishable physical upgrades made.
Capabilities: Standard protector bot fare once again. The nanite beam has also been upgraded to work on organics and the power of its laser gun upped by about 75%, making it more powerful than those fired than Mini Bot. No modifications to Block Bot's seeker drones have been made. However, there have been several disturbing reports about Block Bot; mostly about delivering what would normally be fatal damage to the drone and watching it continue to fight. In addition, there have been several unconfirmed reports of Block Bot literally pulling itself together after having been destroyed by some attack or another.
"Oh great... I'm going to die... /Again/..."
Assault Bot: Combat Toy
Brief Bio: Toy still isn't entirely sure how Combat Toy got to be what he is, but considering the big robot's effectiveness in battle, the mastermind is quite willing to overlook his orneriness.
Personality: Gung-ho, bloodthirsty, aggressive. Combat Toy enjoys fighting, and winning, almost as much Michael Jackson loves little children.
Upgrade: Painted pitch black. Referring to the image at the top of this file, Combat Toy's missile racks have been lowered to lay flush against it's shoulders and given a more rounded look. Both plasma cannons have been moved into the torso on either side of Combat Toy's chest. The arms have been replaced with sturdier models equipped with heavy, grooved fists, an extendable 'Ghost Slayer' sword (Right arm) and a heavy shield (Left arm). The flamethrower has been moved to underneath the shield for extra protection. A sizable compartment also seems to have been added to Combat Toy's back, as several times security cameras have seen Toy Dispenser take things out of it's back, usually explosives of some sort.
Capabilities: Combat Toy remains just as capable and deadly as a normal model assault bot. The only real difference here is that the weapons fire from different places of the body. Melee combat is where the most changes have taken place as Combat Toy seems to be quite fond of breaking skulls with its fists or cutting through things with its sword. The shield only raises it's survivability, which is detrimental to the survival of those fighting against Combat Toy.
