When Bulletbike was abducted and transplanted into a lowtech body, he took advantage of the Mark III's design flaws to disable a Vehidrone and remove its Processor Matrix.

When the impostor who'd replaced Bulletbike got wind that the real thing was coming for him, he had a large proportion of the security forces in the Nexus pulled to protect RoboCo HQ. The dozens of Vehidrones protecting the building slowed down Stungun and his men as they tried to enter. I, Lowtech
