Over Kill began as an experimental prototype for the third generation of
B.A.T.s,
but because of his advanced micro-computers and enhanced tactical logic
programs, the cost projections were too high for profitable
mass-production. He might have continued to gather dust on a shelf in
the Cobra research labs if Cobra
Commander hadn't decided to utilize him as a battlefield commander for the
android troopers.
Being the
leader of an entire unit of android troopers comes quite naturally to Over Kill
since more than fifty percent of his body has been replaced by mechanical
parts. Over Kill has been implanted with techno-cerebral intelligence and
wireless modem in his brain and he is required to wear an oxygen regulator
mask in a self-contained breathing unit. A targeting computer is hard
wired between his right eye and his trigger finger. His left eye
functions as an image intensifier, infrared night scope, infrared scanner, and
telescopic analyzer. He is also equipped with integral body armor and the chest plate opens to reveal two .50-caliber machine guns. His arms
feature a sophisticated strength activation system, and his turbo hydraulic
legs also feature a hidden flamethrower and shin-based fuel porta-packs.
He is also outfitted with a mind control, memory drain unit and psychic sensor
backpack. It was Cobra Commander's idea to add a voice synthesizer
program to repeat demoralizing slogans at deafening volumes.
Having command of a small
army of mindless robots has affected his mind, making him overly
sentimental and protective of his "troops." Over Kill sees them as
individuals and gives them secret names, picking out some for special
attention. Over Kill's primary job is to operate the destructive Earthquake
construction vehicle.
