History: The Starling Industries E.X.O-2MAW (Military Advanced Walker) was designed in 2231 to combat the rising tensions between East and West European countries. It went into active service in 2235 and would not be resigned until 2296, with multiple variations still being used by smaller NATO countries and US states in their reserve armies. Used primarily by the German Army, Polish Army, French Army and Marines, the Royal British Army, and the Belgian Army. The E.X.O-2MAW could neutralize tanks and small convoys easily and were even deadlier in packs of three or four. These war machines were so legendary that there were unconfirmed reports of two of them wiping out most of the Russian naval forces in Finland in one day without the need for orders. Starling Industries decided to have the mechanical "minds" of the E.X.O-2MAWs be semi-sentient, meaning that in a combat situation they make their own decisions, but still follow their orders (they really just find different ways to complete the orders while minimalising civilian and friendly casualties). They required no pilots, therefore there was no risk of human error or death. Sometime after the mechs were pulled from active service and shut down, sightings occurred where civilians either heard or saw several of these "rogue" robots sneaking around at night in West European countries, meaning that those robots developed enough sentience to break free of their orders to shut down.
