#redirect{{NecromundaPortal}}[[File:Ambot2.jpg|thumb|250px|Ambothead{{Fn|4}}]]The '''Luther Pattern Excavation Automata''' or '''Ambot''' is a heavy mining construct based on the [[Ambull]]. Its central nervous system is derived from the xenos creature, giving it an instinct for tunneling, but it is fitted with cortical limiters that prevent it from escaping and running amok.{{Fn|1b}}__NOTOC__==Overview==Ambots are built by a process perfected by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. A native Ambull is captured and then reworked and heavily cybernetically augmented. When the creature awakens in its new robotic shell, it retains its natural tunneling instincts while having its aggression suppressed by cranial governors. The biological core of the creature circumvents Mechanicum laws regarding bans on [[Artificial Intelligence]]. Ambots are typically employed for mining and ash excavation on worlds such as [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]].{{Fn|1b}} ==Scrapcode-Corrupted Ambots==Some Ambots are driven mad by [[Scrap-Code]], a tech-virus. On [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]], mining automata often fall victim to this corruption by [[Heretek]]s or tech-traitors, becoming abominations of iron and wires with deadly mining claws. These corrupted machines, known as Scrapcode-corrupted Ambots, are highly dangerous and coveted by outlaw [[gang]]s for their combat prowess.{{Fn|2}} {{Clear}}==Images==<gallery mode="packed" heights="230">Ambots.jpg|Ambot miniatures{{Fn|3}}Ambot1.jpg|[[Mr Chomper]] from [[House Escher]]{{Fn|1a}}</gallery> ==See also==*[[Cyber-Ambull]] ==Sources==*1: [[Necromunda: Gangs of the Underhive]]:**{{Endn|1a}}: pg. 82**{{Endn|1b}}: pg. 88*{{Endn|2}}: [[Apocrypha Necromunda]], pg. 112*{{Endn|3}}: [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/01/05/breaking-news-new-models-new-expansions-and-exclusive-revealsgw-homepage-post-1/ Warhammer Community: 05/01/2019 ''Breaking News!
