History Fallout4 / TropesQToZ

* TacticalSuperweaponUnit: [[spoiler:Returning from ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' is '''LIBERTY PRIME'''. Not even getting destroyed and reduced to pieces by the Enclave's KillSat was enough to keep him down, as the Brotherhood recovered what they could of the HumongousMecha and kept it stored until they could rebuild it. 10 years later, in the Commonwealth, if the player opts to follow the Brotherhood questline, they once more contribute to the revitalization of Liberty Prime, only this time not just to power him up, but to give him a complete remodel into Liberty Prime '''Mark II'''. And once he's powered on and turned in the direction of the Institute, a CurbStompBattle for the third time around ensues!]]

*** Also, the T-60 model was never mentioned before ''Fallout 4,'' with all previous games stating that the T-51b was the pinnacle of Pre-War Power Armor. In game, the T-60 is mechanically superior. The fan theory that the T-60 is a Brotherhood of Steel modification to the T-45 is thrown out the window by the two guards wearing T-60 suits outside Vault 111 in the prologue. Some of the terminals encountered throughout the game suggest that the T-60 was a {{Super Prototype}} developed just before the Great War and was intended to replace the T-51b before the nuclear apocalypse intervened. It's also stated that the T-60 isn't a wholly new model, instead being more of a refined upgrade on the T-45. Relatedly, the Brotherhood's use of the T-60 is explained as being due to them recovering schematics & learning how to effectively recreate/reproduce them.

** A holotape found in Shaun's room indicates the Synth was a prototype, and considering it was only two years after Shaun was taken from Vault 111 (nearly 60 years before Fallout 4 properly begins), it's very likely said Synth wasn't truly a Gen 3 - just another [=in-between=] step, like Nick and [=DiMA=], but much more advanced. This is backed up by the fact that Nick claims that the Synth involved, had "servos and sprockets", which should be very easily detected by anyone with medical knowledge - yet even with the Brotherhood's technology, they weren't able to tell that Danse wasn't human. Still, the fact that Synths are established as having enough differences from baseline humanity (such as [[TheNeedless not gaining or losing weight]]) that it can be argued that they're clearly not perfectly organic creations.
