The former are segmented and highly flexible. Its sub-assemblies include three arms and three eyes. In cases where the former are removed, but not the latter, the affected unit effectively becomes a slave or is forced to execute its duties until it can circumvent its programming. Behavior limiters act as a failsafe in case a Mister Handy or one of its derivatives gain knowledge beyond the scope of its programming. Special limiters are included in neural pathways responsible for learning to prevent such an occurrence. Handy is easily one of its most stunning features, theoretically capable of achieving true artificial intelligence.
It is an extremely compact design: The spherical main body houses not just the nuclear power unit, but also the single centrally-mounted jet thruster with a ground-effect skirt allowing it to hover, and a highly sophisticated neural network mimicking the functionality of a human brain. Handy is used for general maintenance and construction its many hands come equipped with buzz saws, flamethrowers, and other construction tools that can easily serve as weapons. Appearing only a few years after the original General Atomics prototype models, the next-generation Mister Handy is a radical departure from that of its ancestor, in keeping with its intended role as a domestic servant, rather than heavy-duty construction robot.
