Ares Leviathan: Finest Hour
TB-41 "Kappa" Nano Bomb (actual size)
Nano-technology can be scary stuff. Especially when your a tyrant of an oppressed nation somewhere! Developed by the best at a secret military base within Japan, these little buggers specialize in taking out the enemy when they are at their most vulnerable...the toilet.
Almost undetectable, this machine uses it quick robotic legs to scurry and climb into the toilet bowl and hide under the water or the seat. To ensure it isn't accidentally spotted, it's exoskeleton is camoflouged white-ish gray.
Though very simple in design, the TB-41 (Toilet Bomb: Type #41) is packed with a minimal amount of C4 to act as a large cherry bomb. When placed in the right spot, it turns the innocent white bowl into a chair of death. When detonated it combines dangerous chemicals with the unstable gases found in the sewage to create a devastating explosive reaction. In theory, the blast should also turn the porcelain into jagged pieces of shrapnel.
It can be activated by either remote detonation or chemi-analytical activation. The latter refers to the sensor the bot contains and process the chemicals and minerals found in the water, particularly iron, found in urine.
It's name derives from a Japanese Yokai (Monster) called the Kappa, a water goblin / water demon. It was a combination of a turtle, a frog, a duck and a man. It's notorious because it targetted people who went #2 by the river (which was common in ancient Japan). It would stick it's arm up the @$$ of the victim, grab them by the tongue and turn them inside out!!! While the poor soul flopped around, the Kappa would take the liver and eat it. Now that toilets have been invented, it is said that they will try to reach through them. Sometimes even through other drains, leading to showers or sinks, whenever possible.
It seems only fitting that this bot be given such a name.
