Discobot

Discobot is a creature in Wasteland 2 and Wasteland 3. A former civilian-made robot, it was later sold and modified for the United States Armed Forces. Its modified purpose is to close distance and illuminate the enemy with lasers, giving other robots an enhanced chance of hitting the target and reducing the target's chance to hit at the same time, though certain models still function as intended for the public, such as the one in Little Vegas.

Background
While the mainstream never really accepted it, a group of hackers embraced the civilian model of the Octrotron after they leveraged the ability to program in new topiary patterns to add custom functionality to the nimble robot. Findley-Tek took a shot at mass-manufacturing the most popular version of these hacks, a fancy light-and-sound-show they called the Discobot. It failed miserably at market, so they added advanced target painting software and sold it to the military. Confused enemies of freedom died to the beat.
