Description
So gone and done some more of these. Rather getting back into the swing of it! Added back-story as well of a young man developing the series.Also sorry for the SUPER SIZE, wanted it to at least be the enjoyable size to appreciate the detail.
Enjoy!
---------
DM4
The Dm4 tactical computer core is my latest pet project to improve upon the Dm3 standard.
Dm3 has proved to be suitable for military capability but requires the control of the ‘Hive Mind’ to keep its feral nature at bay. I find if we are to prove that drones in the field can trump a soldier’s instinct simply adding emotion and human characteristics instantly is ineffective in the feral like state it results in. Instead I aim to let the Dm4 grow and evolve from a child like state in hope that this process can be copied and applied to other models.
Father is unaware of this yet and stealing the DM3 ‘white rabbit’s programing is something I don’t think he would be to fond of.
Lv.1 ‘ Core ‘
First Initial rig for Dm4, its currently still in a child like state, very curious and still managing its emotions. With its current research it has taken on a more aggressive state but what is most important is it’s ability to mimic a more human reaction.
The rig itself is very flexible in what it can provide for the Dm4. Original idea’s were to use a smaller condensed version of the ‘hunter’ model but I felt it would limit it’s ability to an animal like stage. So far no major damage has been done, as its rig is limited in its potential to cause serious harm.
Further tests will be withheld until the basic fundamentals of empathy and a civilized attitude start to bloom.
Lv.2 ‘ Scutter ‘
As Dm4 has been developing I have also found a more suitable rig to expand his learning. The rig in question has improved Combat Effectiveness, maneuverability and CPU as a ‘step up’ from it’s the Core rig.
(note: A reminder that the function of Dm4 or any of its rigs isn’t for combat and intent to harm it is merely to document its ability to perform defensive techniques in the body provided and the elements provided to it.)
On another note it’s Cpu foundations have far outreached ‘Hive Minds’ when it was at this stage. I prove hopeful that the Dm4 series will replace Dm3’s military line and hopefully remove Dm3’s feril emotion and re-assign that series into a retail market such as labor or trade.
Its behavior has become much settled than its prior state as it seems to have pushed itself away from its aggressive nature, this is a good improvement to the learning process.
From this point on Dm4 has grown intelligent enough to aid in the development process of each rig based on feedback and evolving its skill to adapt itself.
Lv.3 ‘ Hive ‘
Dm4’s power of understanding has far out matched anything I would have hoped. Its Cpu power has doubled and reached that of the level of the ‘Hive Mind’. This is however a slight setback in planning its position as a military drone but I feel it could be better suited as a commander or even a Hive unit.
The foundations and upgrades for this were heavily influenced by Dm4, such as more advanced limbs for better movement, its heavier frame and smaller processional limbs for tasks beyond computer hacking. This is a very exciting development as it is starting to think beyond its basic programing as computer, being able to interface with the environment around it!
Its attitude how ever is troubling, it has become quieter and calm I am unsure if it is an improvement or set back as I dare not run any combat strategy simulation, its strategy in non-military based programs has proven to be extremely effective in an aggressive maneuver. I am currently working on a set of combat restrictions whilst its current frame unable to cause any physical harm.
p.s. Father has finally found out about my plans and has asked that all my research to be sent to him along with these personal reports, he seems pleased with my process but refuses to aid with any other programing connected to hive mind or the Dm3 series. I think he fears Dm4 is too temperamental.
Lv.4 ‘ Predator ‘
By choice of Dm4 its next rig design has been influenced by the Dm3’s Raptor model which seems fitting given its function to infiltrate. With the added addition of legs and more adept hand the key limbs have been slimmed, as they are not vital for the frames movement anymore. This unfortunately has narrows its Cpu in exchange to be a much lighter weight and maneuverable rig. I feel this is a good way to test its need to balance its ability to what function it feels is better suited, and being around the campus it has adapted to its environment in a physical and mental nature.
I feel better at ease that the three combat restrictions are now in place, it has allowed me to test combat demo’s with Dm4 and it has produces (as expected) good results. Its military capability has proved to be useful and with the added its combat restriction it is performance in the field isn’t restricted to violent action.
However its attitude has grown rather concerning, Now that I have given him barriers he cannot cross he seems intent on pushing up to them, for example I asked him to perform a disarm maneuver with restriction level 1 lifted (the use of non harmful action), which resulted him a pinning the dummy to the wall and near crushing it .. Rather than the desired slapping the weapon from its wrist. These are all stages that will be improved upon as time goes on.
On a brighter note father is pleased with my process and has even shown the design team the Dm4 so far, I’ve even been invited to a conference to show him off as a tester for the new Dm4 model and with the results I don’t feel worried for competition.
Lv.5 ‘Raptor’
Words cannot express how proud I am of Dm4, he has evolved and grown so much and has finally reached his maximum potential with the rig and function of its design.
Its new rig ‘Raptor’ has been equipped with thicker limbs again for better movement around obstacles. Its shell has been better enforced and power cpu better adept. Most importantly is its understanding is far beyond the ‘Hive Mind’ but is more accessible as it is has out shown Dm3’s best.
Its attitude seems to be working much better than how it started off as it has a better understanding of were its restrictions are needed. I still have them in place but even if I let him off restriction level 3 (the use of lethal combat) he still assess a situation to disable or disarm depending on the target (no fatal or lethal action has been taken yet on a living specimen.
I am currently working on a more basic Dm4 core now to replace the Hunter models as a standard military unit as Dm4 is far more specialized and over qualified for such tasks, not to mention constructing him was far more costly that it needed to be for a drone unit.
I have grown a much stronger bond with him now, and he has provided me wit h a life of better security. Not to mention his A.I makes for interesting idea’s and convocation.
P.s. I do some times wake up at night to see him there watching over me me, even after I directly request he shut down. I am unsure if his conclusion believes my orders to be irrelevant or if he’s trying to protect be against my consent.
… Further tests into this will be taken over time with caution.

Is this part of a series, or is it independent?
I think it's really cool!

I love this sci-fi tech stuff! It looks so well-established, I really thought it was part of something larger.
Well, I hope you get back to it some day. Even if you don't, I hope you enjoy your art!

Amazing, I really like the unusual shapes and concepts you created. I would really like to model something similar, this is a great inspiration. Make more like these!

of course! you can model them if you wanted could provide the front view to if you needed (least thats what friends of mine have asked for in the past). and I plan to in the future
re-do the entire series again

A re-do would be awesome. But I don't need the front view, I just wanted to get inspired. But thank you very much.

I have a couple ideas already~
I'm excited and nervous about them too.
I'll sketch them out after I fix Rikki's app.
