Auto

Brief overview of the character. Try to "sell" the character.

Overview
General breakdowns of passive abilities, gimmicks, and their movement + health.

Main
Auto Bazooka

Auto's mainfire is the Auto Bazooka, which dispenses slow rockets that deal hefty damage, along with also doing splash damage in a radius around them. He can shoot 4 of these on a full clip before he needs to wait for his ammo to regen. Consumes his green ammo.

Alt
Bolt Repeater

Auto's secondary attack is the Bolt Repeater, a rapid fire attack that shoots a burst of 5 bolts. Does not consume ammo.

Crafting

Crafting is what actually makes Auto ban-worthy. Using screws, he can craft a variety of items to help support his team. The item crafted depends on what weapon you have selected.


 * Eddie Bomber (Costs: )
 * Eddie Bomber is different from vanilla, instead of bombing the area ahead, Eddie stays your side, acting as defense against unseen threats.


 * Tango Roll (Costs:
 * Tango can be used to throw into a crowd, possibly dealing HEAVY damage.


 * Wire Adapter (Costs:
 * Wire Adaptor has two uses, and enables much more movement for some classes. Try getting a Dark Man 3 to a high spot, or give a Hard Man an escape option.


 * Item 2 (Costs:
 * While not nearly as commonly used as Wire Adaptor, it has infinite horizontal range and costs less. Two uses.


 * Screw Pickup (Costs:
 * Screw Pickup shoots out 2 small screws. Incredibly useful for a communist playstyle. Auto can make use of his bulk and a wire adaptor to collect screws for his companions, not risking otherwise delicate healer's lives. Even better, is that it always shoots 2 small screws, meaning a large screw can be split between two people. Definitely a reason to let a trustworthy Auto collect screws.


 * Reggae Trick (Costs:
 * Quite possibly Auto's defining annoyance, works just as it does in vanilla, completely closing off parts of the map by covering it in fake explosive tanks. Less of a trick in TLMS, considering no tanks spawn, but still amazing area denial.

Depending on your playstyle, you can either be offensive assist or escape assist.

 * Auto's tagline Invention Maniac is actually lifted straight from the Japanese translation of Rockman Forte.
