Bjarke Bjorn, first of his name

Constructed by Krøne Engineering Solutions (KES, based in Denmark) with the purpose of blending true, intelligent AI and combat-ready android; Bjarke Bjorn, or as he was known then as LoK-1E, was accidentally exposed to a series of images and films depicting Norse Culture. Due to the manner in which the artificial intelligence is able to create its own code through learning (much like a human) LoK-1E began to take a very different approach to its 'life'. It applied for human citizenship in 2212, ensuing in a legal battle lasting three years. The outcome of this long and heated debate saw LoK-1E have its name formally changed to Bjarke Bjorn (Bear Bear), split ties with its parent company Krøne Engineering Solutions, and receive a unique AI-citizenship - the first time a machine has ever been granted such a document. With its new rights and life ahead, Bjarke Bjorn decided (theorized to be due to the warlike attitude attributed to the AI) to join the Danish Armed Forces as a human soldier. It/he continues its/his role as a soldier to this day.

 

I've had this one sitting on my desk for about a month now so I decided to finally get off my backside and take photos of the thing. Overall I'm happy with it, though the legs don't work that well when it comes to posing.

 

Also, probably going to be my second and last contribution to Droneuary as I'm in the (slow) process of building a vehicle of a different nature ;)
