    His name may be Eddie Richards, but everyone just calls him Moneydicks

    probably an experimental bot with a construct. I mean it’s arasaka… they don’t really care about morals and ethics lol

  3. The bots at the Arasaka waterfront are weird like that. From what others have told me they’re named after their remote operators bc they aren’t autonomous like the other mechs.

    If you kill one, you will see they are mech suites. Eddie Richards is driving it.

    Eddie Richards was grafted into the bot like the Big Daddies from Bioshock.

    Leave my boy Eddie alone. He’s just doing his thing.

    As an actual answer, it’s probably a reference to the ED-209 from Robocop. Why Richards? I don’t know.

    How dare you disrespect Eddie like that, robot lives matter

    The real reason is it’s a minor glitch. The fun/lore reason is it’s a experimental robot with a implanted construct.

    Bot like that are being remote controlled by people, unlike bot that walk around and says, “LOCATING SUSPECTS, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND REVEALING YOURSELF”

    Eddie Richards was a blackjack dealer at the Black Sapphire. One day Saburo Arasaka sat down to play blackjack. He was at 15, and asked for a hit but Eddie forgot to take the joker card and the rules and instructions card on how to play stud poker out of the deck causing Saburo to lose a small fortune.

    He had Eddie kidnapped and his consciousness put into a security Droid that was the monetary equivalent to how much money Saburo personally lost.

    Maybe an actual full borg conversion, like Adam Smasher, just more weapons platformy than human frame.

  15. Dry-Satisfaction-633

    Because he’s not called Richard Parker?

    “Eddie” is just sounds friendlier than “Ed” or “Edward.”

    Eddie’s is another word for money. And Richard is another name for dick.

    This dude name is money dick

  18. Lebrewski__

    Eddie = money in cyberpunk

    Richard = Rich

    Maybe a pun?

    There was probably a contest to name their new mech and that beat Mechy Mc’MechFace

    Me being Corpo V and straight up walking through the front gates and into the terminal that had the float route to install the malware. 🤣 Corpo V is fucking badass in NC

    At least it did not rename itself to MechaHitler.

  22. Astral_kaleidoscope

    Perhaps it’s a RoboCop reference… ED-209.

    Eddie = ED (209), Richards = Richard (Jone)s. Maybe? Perhaps?

  24. DisCultQC

    They pulled a Martinez on th guy, and now he’s trapped in full borg working for the company he once tried to take down.

  25. KLINGELNBERGG

    Because Eddie Richards is inside that Dreadnought sarcophagus.

  26. jaraxel_arabani

    *started chanting*
    His name was Eddie Richards….

  27. Eddie = ED-209
    Richard = Richard “Dick” Jones (the main villain in Robocop and head of the ED-209 project).

  28. my_name_is_murphy

    Eddie is a good boy and he’s doing his best.
