The military accepted these flaws, pressing them into service.

The most notable of these was the fact that in the absence of orders, units defaulted to a patrol mode and attacked all unauthorized personnel with extreme violence, as per combat protocol Charlie Zulu 4. However, in its rush to present the Army with a working model, General Atomics cut corners and the resulting personality had issues stemming from vague definitions used in programming its neural network. The Mister Gutsy is also upgraded with dedicated military software, including the ability to refuse orders issued by commanders who are incompetent or under court martial, remote link-up capability for updating orders in real time, and a brand-new Sergeant Major v.1.0 simulated personality that channeled the stereotypical Marine drill instructor and doubled as a vessel for state propaganda. The key advantage of Mister Gutsies that separates it from other combat robots is its sheer maneuverability and spatial awareness. The shell was rebuilt with lightweight armor plating, while the usual array of tools was upgraded with a plasma caster on a flexible mount. It also carries a plasma weapon to be used in defense.

Gutsy is a personal protection automaton and comes equipped with heavier armor than most utility robots. It was commissioned by the United States Army shortly before the atomic apocalypse of 2077, with the first units seeing service in the liberation of Anchorage in January, at least according to the Anchorage Reclamation simulation. A dedicated combat variant of their civilian Mister Handy, the Mister Gutsy series was developed by General Atomics International.
