The Dropcloths get their name from their design featuring an apron-like cloth around their hips. They are the most common type of self-controlled artificially intelligent robots made by the Rothchild Corporation. Their size and proportions are similar to those of humans, and they often take the role of cheap soldiers or medics on the battlefield.
Before RPU 23 and 87 joined the SHITTY 9, they were members of the RPU (Rim Patrol Unit). They were the first robots known to go AWOL, leaving their unit during a clean up job on a Martian incursion off the coast of New Zealand. They were later found on the coast of Taiwan, but how they got there still unknown. How and why these robots were able to make their way to another country through their own will is of great interest to the Earth Coalition - some believe their programming has evolved, or at the very least new levels of self-awareness surfaced as a part of some hidden programming in their systems. The war evolves...
The second release in the SHITTY 9 series of figures is a set of two RPU Dropcloths. The one is marked as "23" and the other as "87". They are both 1/12th scale figures and are fully articulated down to their individual fingers. Each is equipped with one machine gun and two pistols.
