- The Robobrain is a combination of biological and mechanical components, designed for a number of different reasons both militant and domestic, but who came up with the design, how practical are they, and what issues does converting a living human brain into the CPU of a machine have on the converters and the converted?

"We must keep the fact that the Robobrains contain human brains a secret! That's why we called them Robobrains and put a big window in the head." -RobCo.
No one will ever suspect that the brain in the jar is the brain of a person!
Its only in plain view after all!
"We could just cover and shelter it or we could make it a glass cupola so that it heats up in the daylight. We'll be in for tons of hijinks when this sucker heat strokes."
“It’s just inflammation from the artificial cerebro-spinal fluid.”
I think the secrecy was revolving around where or who the brains came from.
"They say that the best hiding place is in plain sight."
Mr House: "I might be a living piece of jerky but at least Im not a crazy brain in a jar."
Lowkey, I think I'd rather be turned into a Robobrain instead of that _thing_ that House became while rotting in that tube for 2 centuries. (I know he wasn't literally rotting, im using that as a metaphor.)
@@apassionatenerd.3564 its literaly the same thing except house can control all the strip whithout moving a inche
hey, at least jerky is delicious!
@@climberly Valid
To what is House referring in this instance? The scientists in Big MT or the robobrains? Does House even know about Big MT? (I'm not too familiar with New Vegas lore)
"Man all these robobrains eventually deteriorate and show signs of aggression"
"I know, lets give them laser guns attached to their bodies"
Legit fall asleep to listening go these videos. Oxhorn is too "WHATS THIS?! AND WHEN WE TURN LEFT HERE WE SEE A DOOR!!"
100% man
still oxhorn is alright
Try thenthapple man he's really good to fall asleep to
@@Commrade-DOGE nah his vids dont need to be 1 hour long for some simple lore
I like Oxhorn because my job is boring and he does keep the enthusiasm throught out the video but I still love this guy because the information is quick and easy to understand
You know the phrase:
"Suffering a fate worse than death."?
Robobrains are the Epitome of that phrase in my mind, I couldn't imagine any fate worse than that.
Assimilation into the flood and a headcrab getting you are both honorable mentions
@@koyooko5160 I believe that Headcrab Zombies are still aware/sentient, and attempt to call out for help. But the Crab scrambles their thoughts causing the speech to come out reversed. ruclips.net/video/9CP30zgAw2o/видео.html
Well I would imagine being a Centuar is worse, at least with being a Robobrain, you can't feel pain, and you're a hunk of metal with funny arms, what pros come from being a Centuar
@@evanharrison4054 The Think Tank and robobrains are basically the same thing as far as im concerned except the think tank have way less practical bodies. The robobrains on far harbor are basically the same as the think tank, Jeezabel from automatron has a personality (A horrendously annoying one, but still a personality.). So even if the person they were originally is gone a robobrain is still capable of realizing what it is and the fate its been given, knowing that its old self is lost for ever (thats why they had to wipe the brains constantly). That realization would be horrendous, and thats what the think tank doesn't have. The think tank isn't that bad because they are so far gone that none of them even realise anything is wrong. Sure, you could argue that most robobrains are like that too, and they probably are, but we know all 6 members of the think tank are completely gone, but there were hundreds, if not more, robobrains made; id have to assume amongst that many, with the technology as unstable as it was, at least one of them must have figure out something was horribly wrong. In the end though its just the existential idea of being a brain stuck in a jar that I think is worse then death regardless of the lore.
@@nickrustyson8124 idk, just personally, the existential dread of being nothing but a brain floating in a jar beats the fear of body horror.
When you kill a robobrain without destroying the head the brain inside just sits there alive but unable to move.
Probably not
Where would it get energy to keep "living"?
@@boktorinator693 the goo. fallout 76 shows the brains just chill in the goo alive for years
@@boktorinator693 I think in the video it’s said that the power is only for the motors and weapons.
That's why out of guild I finish the mag, clip, next 3 rounds off in the head
I'd never considered that, whoops
I imagine the stoned conversation over the robobrain design went something like - woah, why don't we put the brain in a tank, but like one with tracks and guns
"What do we do with all these PoW and Commie prisons?"
"SCOOP OUT THEIR BRAINS FOR OUR ROBOTIC USE!" *stabs themselves with more med-x* 'Yeaaaaahhhh.... clean up the camps, Man. Clean up the camps..."
@@mcpossum That's not the kind of thoughts morphine fills you with, that's the kind of thoughts psycho or jet fills you with.
@@lurksnitchtongue8986 the morphine was to relax from all the coke they had to be ingesting
@@mcpossum the chems, they did all of them.
@@icurnvs776 had to be that mysterious prewar jet in Boston. I *knew* that shit was shady from the first terminal entry stating it was sent to a Vault
[I'm chuckling like a nut because that definitely had waaaaay more wit inside my head. But, hey, I'm currently running with a -3C debuff I can't get rid of]
The robobrain always seemed like a strange idea to me. With all the technology available, it just seemed so unnecessary. Though I always need to be reminded that the pre-war scientists were batshit insane.
A brain has several thousand times the processing capabilities of any CPU. It makes sense to make a robot that can understand you as a human, and use human weapons (as we see skynet do). You could make armored, heavily armed and autonomous, extremely loyal soldiers out of prisoners of war or criminals. Not such a stupid idea, to be honest
Fallout microprocessors really suck, so it's easier to adopt organic brain as a CPU
Basically creating immortality. I'd think plenty of people would be interested in that, so why not create some test subjects that also act as obedient soldiers?
I know it is mostly just because of design factor but it really bothers me that they have no armor in the weakest part of the robot
@@tarquilkorris2563 - I’m personally conflicted about the state of microprocessors in Fallout. They do exist and are wide spread (at least militarily) and have successfully given rise to Mr.Handy and assaultron levels of AI (general Atomics compared to Robco) while Robobrains seem to only partially give marginal versatility improvements via fine manipulation and faster processing which is still better used in administrative roles instead of combat… (though I guess it’s because they never got past all the testing stages) I don’t disagree that organic brains still have greater potential for processing speed, if not creativity, but I still wonder about how micro processors compare to ours, because super computers in fallout seem to still be more successful at getting results than ours are… perhaps the fallout world was not practiced or had time to refine the scale and efficiency of miniaturization before the resource shortages and then wars occurred which is why most of their super computers and other such auto tech is stationary/ out of sight? Then again, I wonder if it’s cannon that humanity had help by reverse engineering from and interrogating aliens…..
I never really thought about robobrains, guess this answers the questions I never asked about robobrains. Good job on finding this Synonymous!
I mean, compared to the rest of the freaky shit you see on the wasteland the robobrain falls under the radar
I always had a weird thing for them, was one of my favorite npc character or wtf ever you want to call them. I always had one that i made in FO4 following me😂
Ok.
You can easily gage the age of a fallout fan by how they treat robobrains
I pretend I'm releasing the stored brains and giving them a second chance of building a life in my settlements
I love how their first choice of brains to be put in these robots were murderers and other heinous criminals. I mean, how much more insane can Ted Bundy get after being turned into a cyborg?
Worked out well with Cain in Robocop 2
"Everyone's always in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but when you put it in the body of a great white shark, oooh, suddenly you've gone too far!!"
@@ShadeMeadows Fons probably did it and Hitler escaped captivity.
When I saw the robot assembly plant for the first time, it was genuinely disturbing, especially the brain extraction facility. Reminded me of the Cyberman episode of the second series of new Doctor Who.
YUP! When this started, I instantly thought:"Cybermen"! So maybe Robert House almost became something akin to a Cyber Controller, with a few differences! But, he smartly said:' No." He said no to the upgrade, lol!
Now, I'm imagining a Fallout/Doctor Who fan-fic crossover!
@@marystone860 in Fallout 2 you can encounter a TARDIS, and I think a Startleet Shuttlecraft as part of the random encounters.
@marystone860 there's actually a doctor who reference in the OWB dlc for NV. If you have the wild wasteland perk, the Y-17 Trauma harnesses will say "hey, who turned out the lights?"
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish you were a Robobrain.
Not really, I just can't help but make patrolling the Mojave jokes.
I rarely see funny patrolling the Mojave jokes fallout fans need to move on
@@DirtyDev Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a good joke.
@@DirtyDev Sorry you only put 1 skill point into your humor stat.
More patrolling the Mojave make me wish for a nuclear blast
You aren’t forgiven. On the cross. Now.
It's actually Terrifying
The poor Prisoners that were used for this
A Fate worse than Death. For Hundreds of Years
For literally an eternity, as the brain will remain preserved but rotting and destabilizing slowly for thousands of years if left in a tank… love fallout, hate accidentally stumbling into information on a computer that fucks with my perception of self preservation. (Information found in the Big Mountain Research facility, in an unmarked building)
Most brains were wiped clean, so i don't think they aren't suffering since they aren't "there", all memories before "brain strapped to a robot" are gone
@@RIPMMC Yeah, but all the "being a robot" memory would be there, which still messes me up. These random stupid tin cans are roaming around as literal records of time and we're all just looting them for batteries and scrap metal.
@@wareforcoin5780 and ammo, don't forget the ammo
“They were never mass produced”
Lol tell that to the capital wasteland
The central computer is probably sending out signals to many robots of the wastes to go out and collect brains
*Laughs in West Virginia*
Cute Joke. Tell that to Watoga/West Virginia.
@@crusadergodx9795 76 doesn’t really count
@@BlackCowboy0 Well it’s Canon, so it technically does
Robobrains seemed to have been inspired by the failed robocops from Robocop 2. Also, they were originally found in fallout one in the deeper levels of the glow, guarding the FEV labs along with eyebots.
Yes, likely shipped over from Boston or the Sierra Army Depot 👍
@@Synonymous101
can we talk about laser lore?
ever since you did the power armor lore
I was wondering what weapon sliced through power armor in The Glow, they mentioned that the security turrets did the damage but how?
@@_Circus_Clapped_ probably heavy caliber ammunition,Power armor may be extremely bullet resistant,But it ain't bulletproof by any means
@@Mephiles343 it is bulletproof. T-51 onwards, at least, but high caliber high speed rounds (such a 15mm or higher) could probably pierce it with certain ease.
@@staringgasmask in terms of low caliber rounds it might as well be bulletproof,But dump enough and eventually something will get through
That "I really thought we could be friends" part in the end completely freaked me out, jeesh.
I honestly thought no one would watch that far, here's to you 😁👍
Quite a few of the things the Robobrains say are kind of sad, really.
Sometimes when you kill one, it may say “I’ll miss you.”
"But nooooooooo"
Robinbrains serve as a great reminder of the cruelty of the prewar world. I couldn’t imagine being just a brain floating in a tank slowly going insane for decades or longer
Ah the robo brain, what my boss thinks I am.. when I am a toaster trapped in big empty instead 😂
Your fallout lore videos are so enjoyable that it got my buddy who doesn't even game to play (and become horribly addicted) to new Vegas. Keep em' coming! Might I suggest feature videos on all the Major New Vegas factions?
Now that's an addiction I know all too well 😅 and that's a good idea, any particular faction you'd like to see first?
@@Synonymous101 So many factions! I feel like rather than going in straight away with obvious ones like The Legion or Mojave area NCR the symbiosis and sometimes rivalries between the Great Khans, The Fiends and powder gangers affects the Nevada wastes. There is a huge black market in the game that feels so much more organized than any of the other entry's.
A bit if a rambly reply but I'm all RUclips starstruck.
@@kylegreene1356 hmmm, a lot of good ones to choose from! 😅
@@Synonymous101 I would to love to see a video on the followers of the apocalypse and how Caesar used to be apart of them sounds very interesting
That’s three different fictional artificial intelligences named skynet that I know of. This, skynet from terminator and skynet from the movie skynet.
Don’t forget the one from moistcritical’s music video
@@enclavesoldier5737 skynut.
I was wondering why is the brain so exposed. 🤔🤷 I mean we all get it: -"It is a bio brain in a can". It could at least have a secondary non transparent "skull".
because it's a game, if the brain is not seen it will be called something else :3
@@yovitasrimulyani2663 you could still have a helmet, then shoot it off to reveal the brain.
Never got past all trials, never finished and ready for warfare, but the dome could have been bullet proof glass, and thus acceptable for guard duty in bases.
I kinda wana see a floating skull in there. Maybe a blood eagle varient?
The Omnissiah smiles upon the blessed Robo Brain.
One of the few times Interplay/Obsidian and Bethesda lore worked in harmony.
Your way of explaining stuff is way more quick and dynamic, when compared to other Fallout lore channels, even if i already know the subject you are talking about in the video, i can re-watch it 4, 5 times, you deserve way more than 60k subs
(sorry for any mistakes spelling, im brazilian and english ain't my first language)
Thanks! And I understood everything you said don't be so hard on yourself 😁👍
I dont think anybody would have even noticed that English isn't your first language if you hadn't mentioned it lol
I don't know why but I've always had a fondness for robobrains. I guess they hit a similar level of retro-futuristic aesthetic as protectrons but without being as clunky.
I just like their insults during combat in F:NV
I'm basically a new player in fallout 3, and a beginner in the fallout lore, i'm so glad i had found this channel, so informative, thanks very much
I shudder to think of that horrifying memory wipe procedure...

I combined the human and the robot in Old world blues and when he died I was devastated.
Oh i didnt hear of that
Honestly sounds really scary imagining my memories and personality being flushed and washed out of my brain so to speak. One fear I have is the idea of essentially losing my consciousness, what essentially makes me..me either through death or amnesia or some other method where I am no longer who I currently am so hearing that the brains inside Robo-Brians had everything about them removed and at best (or worse) they could develop an inferior and deranged personality sounds horrifying to me.
Also, due to recently reading a Doom Patrol comic, this made me think of the DC character Robot Man who is similar to the Robo-Brains in that he has his human brain inside the body of a machine though his body is completely humanoid and near identical to a humans in shape though clearly robotic in appearance. Given the later retcon that the Chief, the founder of the Doom Patrol who personally saved his brain was actually responsible for the accident that left everything but his brain irreparably damaged, Robot Man should be thankful that the Chief never played a Fallout game, lest he be inspired to scrub out his original personality for a perfectly obedient slave though even with him retaining his personality and memories, he still has to struggle living in a lifeless metal shell as well as phantom limb syndrome which for him is brought to the extreme because he still feels bodily sensations he no longer has which are maddening to him in their own right. Makes me wonder if the Robo-Brains that kept their personalities and memories suffer something similar, do they remember the various sensations and bodily functions their bodies used to feel or has that been completely forgotten?
Honestly, I just never want to be a brain in a jar or a robot body of any shape or form, find me a method of immortality that allows me to still be me, I don't want to be a trashcan on treads, a ghoul or a super mutant.
Every other comment on your videos is someone dragging Oxhorn through the mud, and its god damn amazing

Amazing video as always, you've definitely taught me a lot about the robobrain lore, which I lacked much knowledge on.
Hey Synonymous. I just recent discovered your channel and I love every video. I really enjoy your restricted play throughs and would love to see something like random speed runs like “defacing the humble stone” or activating Fisto. Thanks for all the great content and I can say I have learned something new from your videos being an avid Fallout NV player.
Not even joking I was wondering why we didn't see many robo-brains in fallout 4. This explains it very well. Very nice!
You left one question unanswered… how did the sole survivor woohoo one??
I'm sure there's an exhaust around the back somewhere 😅
Thank you for doing these videos, truly helps me immerse myself deeper into the fallout world.

The robobrain in the research center in fallout 76 during the wastelanders quest is fucking hilarious
Always nice to see upload from you, sir!
I like all the content you make. Keep up the great work.
Whoa!! I'm just gonna comment on this video but THEY"RE ALL AWESOME lol Dude these are the perfect companion for me while I work. Thank you for posting these mini documentaries. Keep up the good work!
I am glad that this video was recommended to me! The Robobrains are an extremely interesting part of the lore to me! Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Subscribed for sure! :D

Skynet was also developing a metal endoskeleton surrounded by living tissue but that abandoned until the Institutes own project took off
Ha!
love these videos, great to watch when youre bored
I just started watching they's videos and they are really good please keep up the good work
Played over 300 hours of fallout 3 and still didn't know vast majority of the research you doing
Fantastic as always 🙏🙏
I've always been interested in knowing more about them thank you 👍
Very interesting video! Great job Syn!
Thanks man! 😁👍
I absolutely love the effort you put into these videos! I bought you a few coffees today as a gesture of my gratitude. Hope you enjoy and keep up the great work!
I can't thank you enough! Much appreciated, friend 😁👍
The terrifying thing about the RobCo Robobrain project in Boston is not only were they using unwilling prisoners but they also had a preference for using the more unstable ones. Which explains why those Robobrains ended up being quite murderous. Like many pre-war science experiments, I have no idea how they thought that was gonna be a good idea.
Robobrains are easily my favourite robots in the Fallout franchise the fact that they can use weapons such as rifles is amazing it’s a shame we don’t see that in the modern Fallout games
Great video, thanks!
Ah yes, now this is keeping me on edge just imagining a society such as this where intelligent beings that differ from us exist.
New synonymous video? Yes please
Dude your channel blew up! You were under 10k subs when i subbed and that wasnt long ago. Keep up the great work!
A lot of people just sort of showed up! 😅
Lovely stuff mate
You should do a video on vaults or on the enclave I've always been interested in both of those and another great video man love your content
Ok question, was the Ai in fallout actually called sky net? Like…. Terminator sky net?
Yeah.
I heard that, and I was like:' OH S%#@!' The world of Terminator and of Fallout have many scary similarties!
there were a lot of pop culture references in fallout 2
thanks for not acting over the top surprised about everything in your videos like oxhorn. its extremely appreciated
@Sakata Gintoki yeah exactly. did they close the facility ? is today monday ? what where they searching for ? i mean come on. i want to watch a video that gives me information i might have missed not someone questioning everything endlessly like they are a fish that makes his first stepps on land.
@@l.h.9747 😂😂😂 I hate when oxhorn "nappa" does that
Nothing worse that the shitty forced over acting.
@Sakata Gintoki to be honest i think most of those views are just because he has videos about nearly everything fallout related. Not shure but i think he can do fallout videos fulltime and has with that just an edge of what the videos are about. I gladly take videos from somewhere else like this channel to avoid the acting bullshit and get the lore information i want
@@l.h.9747 I disagree. Acting, no matter how over the top it may be, can only serve to better enhance a documentary-type production. This is regardless of the fact that little of the Fallout universe is true in the real world.
Never knew i needed this great video.
Excellent! Thanks for the upload!
Great video man
I have a video suggestion (if you haven't already done it): the lore of chems.
They'd definitely be a good discussion, considering the roles they play in Fallout.
Definitely!
Edit: spelling because I'm dumb
i imagine being a robobrain is like that one scene in robocop where you see from his perspective when, well, his brain was in a jar
Ok but now I want someone to mod a side story about a scientist who made a robobrain without any wipes because the donor's brain was just too fascinating
Absolutely brilliant! 👏👍 You should totally try lore for locations as well. Say for example, Big M.T or Raven rock.
Skynet? I heard that right?
I give this video a juicy hitchhiker thumb!
This guy keeps on delivering!
Can’t believe I’m 6 days late, when this was the one I was most interested in.
They reminds me of Star Wars droids. Developing personalities and all. Minus the need for a brain.
Robobrains remind me of Daleks which are creatures placed inside of a metal casing.
Exactly! Like a f-ed up combo of Daleks and Cybermen!
I love your channel and am glad I found it. ❤ Carrying Thenapple torch
I hope he would agree 😁👌
Fuck yeah, a new Synonymous upload
these videos r like crack to me.. def new best lore channel in youtube, growing quick too- very happy know that before here 100k.. or even million!

Makes you feel bad for Biv E Ridge from 76 doesn’t it?
The only friendly robobrain and he’s destined to one day not be.
Nice video, dude. I don't even play Fallout anymore but here I am watching a Fallout lore vid.
The "opposable claws" are a brilliant touch.
The only way to really describe them, pincers would also work I guess 😂
For whatever reason, I've always considered these bots to be the creepiest enemy in fallout, especially 3 due to the voice acting.
Another amazing video
Awesome videos you make.
It's nice to see this kind of deep analysis format.
Can you make on about some other machines?
Like, what about vehicles? Cause to the player, there is a car on Fallout 2, and some Vertibird on Fallout 4 and 76.
But why people don't use vehicles anymore?
That's my ideia for a video.
I just want to say synonymous I love how you went through and read all the comments and liked them. I think that's amazing cuz a lot of people don't do that
They, just like you, have taken the time to comment so the least I can do is show some appreciation! 😁👍
