================================================================================================
Overview:
The ISBoxer Multiplexor is a mid tier command node for Autobot forces. Its able to transmit
commands to up to 11 other Autobot units while using its mobility to stay away from hostile
action. That mobility can also come into play if a region of Jamming needs to be
outflanked. It is considered a nearly expendable unit with an emphasis on low resource
costs over absolute suitability.
Capabilities:
In theory Multiboxing is the ultimate force multiplier. A single drone operator can use a
multiplexing unit to command multiple combat units at the same time. Sure there is a
significant degradation in the individual "Skill" of each unit, but that's what numbers,
suicidal willingness to close and pulse lasers are for.
The problem of course was scientists efforts to reduce that skill gap though enhanced
prediction algorithms, letting the drone control system take on more of the burden of
controlling each individual unit. Which was working out well until two Multiplexors were
wired into a 2-way control loop with each other...
