Hi all,
This is my faction. It's still a WIP, but It all works, so enjoy!
INTRO AND HISTORY
Taking advantage of the lack of safety or quality standards in the Kepler system, Asplode Corp mass-produces cheap military equipment to be sold to the Tradestar corporation at incredibly low prices. In turn, Tradestar turns a blind eye on the exploitation of Asplode Corp's workers, prizing overheads over morals.
Asplode Corp's past lies in low-end appliances. As more and more people left behind their natural bodies in favour of Brain-jar or artificial bodies, the market for dangerous blenders or leaky microwaves diminished, so Asplode Corp turned to making military supplies for the growing resource war.
Asplode Corp is most famous for it's Scrapbot line, a moderately popular robot which ran on highly unstable conductor fluid. the were 2 or 3 versions of this robot, untill the fluid was scrapped entirely when it was discovered that exploding robots could occasionally cause EMPs, knocking out many computer systems. The last version of the scrap was released along with the SCAR, a mass-produced rifle and various versions of the SCRAP, including the hugely popular SCRAP-A.
Asplode Corp's next major success was the Oyster robot, which was a heavily modified SCRAP chassis covered in armour plates.
This is the second wave of Asplode Corp, finally bringing assorted products together into a whole.
ACTORS
From left to right: Oyster, Oyster JP, SCRAP
The Oyster Robot is a high-end robotic Juggernaut, covered in armour plates and designed to withstand small arms fire. A tough frame helps the Oyster to survive hard falls, but fire and shrapnel damage have been proven to damage the internal circuitry, making the Oyster vulnerable to explosive weaponry.
The Oyster JP is simply the Oyster with a jetpack instead of a jump pack, raising the cost slightly.
The SCRAP (Super Cheap Robot/Automated Personnel) is a light soldier perfect for mining or tasks where soldiers are not likely to return. A perfect alternative to a skeleton, it is weaker (usually being terminated by a single wound) but has a jetpack, increasing it's versatility.
DEVICES
AGR (Automatic Gauss Rifle)
Thanks to Rashaln for Gif!
Turns out a blunt slug fired at huge speeds REALLY HURTS. Relatively slow ROF.
Mine Launcher
Fires a proximity mine. Use with caution though, the mines do not descriminate between friend and foe, and will blow up your actors as well as your enemy's if they get to close.
Beast
Old Sprite, same function.
New sprite.A dangerous minigun which fires small, light but very sharp bullets and the occasional explosive round, creating a wall of bullets which tear apart anything caught in the spray in just a few seconds. Costs 100oz.
0GGL - Zero Gravity Grenade Launcher
Gif coming soon!
This weapon fires a timed grenade which is not effected by gravity. Excellent in underground bunkers. Takes a bit of practice to use though.
Nailgun
Fires Nails. A good sidearm or primary weapon if you're short of dough and don't value your life much.

This one looks a little odd though: (The gun on the middle one)
