Liberty Prime: The U.S. Army's Unseen War Machine
A Colossal Robot Left Behind
WEB Liberty Prime, later known as Liberty Prime Mark II, was a remarkable creation of the U.S. Army. Completed but never deployed, this massive robot stood as a testament to American engineering ingenuity. Its lack of a suitable power source ultimately prevented it from seeing active service, leaving behind only a legacy of what could have been.
Dual Primary Weapons
Liberty Prime possessed an arsenal of fearsome weapons. Mounted on its head was the potent Liberty laser, capable of delivering devastating beams of energy. In addition, a storage bay on its back housed a supply of Mark 28 nuclear bombs, modified from standard aircraft variants. With firepower like this, Liberty Prime was intended to be an unstoppable force on the battlefield.
Legacy in the Fallout Series
WEB Liberty Prime's legacy lived on in the Fallout video game series. In Fallout 3, the Brotherhood of Steel came into possession of its remains and repurposed it as a formidable weapon in the Capital Wasteland. Its imposing presence and overwhelming firepower made it a force to be reckoned with, symbolizing the United States' once-unfulfilled desire for technological supremacy.
