Description
Thought I'd try my hand at making the common robotic infantry of the Maliwan corporation, so here's a Maliwan Bot. They're one of several variants of robots created by Holloway Robotics, all of which are based on Gaige's Deathtrap robot. You see, Deathtrap started as a science fair project, intended to be an anti-bullying robot. Marcie Holloway, daughter of Holloway Robotics' president, built a cheaper knockoff of DT known as the Crime Buster Bot, designed to fill the void left by the shutdown of all Claptrap robots (barring one, of course... wink, wink). Various companies, including Atlas, Maliwan, and Jakobs, bought the robots to fill various roles such as firefighting, police work, waste management, and delivering food. At some point, Deathtrap malfunctioned and killed Marcie, which caused Gaige to flee to Pandora to become a Vault Hunter. Ironically, even though Crime Busters beat Deathtrap in the science fair (albeit thanks to Mr. Holloway bribing the judges), the knockoffs are weaker than Deathtrap, even though he's a junk bot and they're created in factories.

I do plan on doing Gaige and Deathtrap later on, I just wanted to do another enemy that wasn't a Bandit.
