The Laughing Man
There are currently eight Tachikoma model robots in the command of Section 9. These highly maneuverable, spider-like machines possess an advanced Artificial Intelligence which allows them a great degree of autonomous activity. Highly mobile and equipped with numerous helpful devices and weapons, including therm-optic camouflage, the Tachikomas operate as mobile, sentient "Swiss Army knives."
