Why hello there, dA! I believe I was in the middle of some kind of sketchdump... a year ago, so I'd better finish that before anything else. 8'D

SO HERE WE HAVE the Spotlighter Containment/Lab division! They are certainly more for keeping things in than keeping them out- the original thought behind the name (Lab) was that in this setting, you find several genetics/other type labs that have large beasties in them; it would be nice to have a non-lethal way of containment that didn't put actual personnel at risk. 'Containment' division seems a much more fitting name though, especially considering these guys could be useful anywhere containment was an issue, not just labs! 8T

I'm honestly just going to copy-paste what I wrote over at Artslam about them, since it's late and I've got a few other things I'd like to upload.
-So like I said, these guys are more for containment purposes than anything else- while Common (security) Spotlighters are focused on keeping things out of buildings, these guys are intended to keep things in them; they have a variety of non-lethal means to do this, and are also the second heftiest Spotlighter granting them a good deal of force and strength as well. They were probably originally intended for use against more beast-like things, but they'd certainly be effective against people too. (Come to think of it, lab-monsters aside, they'd probably make very effective prison guards. 8'D) They can also 'sync up' with a facility's alarm system using the same hardware that allows Spotlighters to communicate via radio frequency, and can set off the alarms if they notice something happening.
-One of their most noteworthy features is the pair of retractable grappling 'claw-arms' housed in their torso; not only do these give them an extra long reach in a chase or otherwise, but they're also useful for pinning or otherwise restraining something once they've caught it. For more feisty targets, they've also got some electrically conducive metal contact plates on their feet, which act much like a very short-range taser; and when something REALLY doesn't want to behave, these guys also come equipped with a hidden needle they can pop out and sedate a target with, knocking them out completely.

These guys are probably the creepiest division, not gonna lie. 8'| (An excellent way to return to dA! <3;)
