The Jaws of Laceration Instrument of Focal Energy is a powerful tool proposed as an addition to troubleshooter teams requiring the ability to cut through synthsteel or plasticrete walls, doors, or whatever else might be in their way. The tool is a massive pair of blades mounted on a swivel head on a huge arm system. The arm can move the blades in a 180 degree arc, but cannot move from side to side. The entire system is fantastically powerful and extraordinarilly heavy.

Part 1: The treads
Moving from bottom up, the treads are a huge contraption including a massive nuclear-core engine and a dual set of steel-tipped tractor treads. The system is needed to power the enormous hydrolics that move the arm and power the blades. The driving (as well as all other controls) are managed by a VR helmet worn by the clone in charge of this beast. There are, by the way, no seats on this tank. The platform can be driven at around a meter (3 feet) per second (around 2 MPH) which is a slow walk.

Part 2: The arm
The arm system can move in an arc along the middle axis of the platform. It can reach in front of, above, and somewhat behind the tank platform, but it cannot turn. In terms of raw power, the hydrolics are more than enough to move the blade system around, but little more, so troubleshooters trying to launch themselves upwards are in for a slow ride.

Part 3: The blades
Ah, the important part, right? The blade system is mounted on the arm so that it can spin (to move the blades horizontal or vertical) and the blade can move 45 degrees from side to side. Once aligned, the blades can open (slowly) to a maximum of 1 meter between the cutting points. Generally, whatever the troubleshooters want cut will need to be between the blades, or there must be enough of a difference in the surface for the blades to get a grip. Closing the blades is also a very slow process, but one which nothing can resist. Given a cutting force of 940,000 lbs (4170 kN) focused between the blades, no material known can resist. This is the unstoppable force.

Part 4: Command and Control
Control of the system is done via the headset and glove. The headset projects basic stats over the clear lenses, offering easy viewing of the machine's status including speed, balance and cutting force being applied. There is really no training required, alignment is done with the glove, opening the hand opens the jaws, closing, shifting, etc. VERY easy to use.

Part 5: Abuse
The system's main drawback is that it is very...very slow. Movement proceeds at a crawl, the blades close in a steady, determined snail's pace. The whole thing is ponderous. Clones will, no doubt, try to use it to break into places, open doors and locks, and potentially as weapons. As follows:

• As a door-opener, the blades must have some sort of purchase, or be able to MAKE a purchase. The blade can "edge" it's way in by cutting small chunks out of the wall for greater grip and leverage, and there's almost no way to prevent this. Whoever's on the other side of the wall, however, will have AMPLE time and AMPLE warning that something's coming.
• As a weapon, there is a huge "why bother" factor. If someone is unable to escape the not-quite-lightning pace of this thing, then they're incapacitated ANYWAY. This just makes the whole thing slightly more gruesome.
• It is possible that someone will have locked themselves into something for safety and this could be used to cut them out. Examples include closets or a bot. Regardless, the person with the controls can pretty much execute them at will... eventually.
• The helmet and glove are not extaordiarilly shielded against damage or interference. If someone will tries to attack this weakness, the bot might be sent on a mad cutting spree that R&D will have plenty of time to stop.
• For cool gladiatorial games, give two differnt clones on the same team a Jaws'o'LIFE bot and see how long it takes them to attack each other.
