1: Gave 2 Mod Slots in exchange for 4 points of Hindrances; there's nothing in the rules for that, but what's good for the PCs is fantastic for the nameless minions of evil.
2: Dropped the SFC Vulnerability to Electricity that all bots are supposed to get stuck with. This is the future, shielding and grounding are things.
3: Ignored the fact that Edges are supposed to be 1 Mod Slot per Rank, and just called it one Mod slot, period. Call it the "Born a Bot" rule and move on.
4: Looked at Pat's contributions and changed the carried weapon load-out, making Rock'n'Roll useful for at least some of the bots. And made the laser rifle a 213, with the only difference being that there's explicitly no Snapfire. The Deadman is just the TX-50 with a new coat of paint. I leave it to the purists to decide if the stats should be adjusted in some fashion.
5: Not a squib, I just felt that First Strike made more sense than Steady Hands. Sure, SH gives them the ability to run-and-shoot with only a -1 penalty, but FS means that charging a line of Skelebots to engage in close combat is a risky proposition.
6: Survival serves two purposes: It lets them provide basic foraging duty to assist troops in the field, and it also gives them a die to roll to recognize supernatural monsters common to central North America (per TLPG page 66).
