Drones

The Drones are the main antagonists of the 1983 video game for the Commodore 64 Benji: Space Rescue. They are a group of robots from another universe who want to kidnap and kill every scientist on Earth.

Description
Benji's mission is to save a number of scientists that are being held by robot drones somewhere in the solar system. Once they are on board, the player take them safely back to Earth. This can be done by going into the engine room and selecting the planet of the player's choice, and the player can modify the warp and jump settings to get to the planet faster or slower. When cruising the planet's surface, Benji's ship's alarm will sound if it detects enemy movement. This is followed by the drones chasing Benji and shooting at him with their lasers. While fighting the drones, the player can use the keyboard's function keys to either fire torpedoes or phasors.

Also while transporting scientists, the player must supply them with rations in order for them to survive. Benji is constantly running out of fuel, meaning that the player need to stock up while orbiting space. Higher ranks have the player rescuing more scientists and navigating an asteroid field. Benji have a specific number of star days to rescue the scientists. If Benji runs out of time or fuel, the game will be over. The higher the rank, the more difficult Benji's rescue mission becomes.

Personality
The Drones are shown to be homicidal, selfish, traitorous, and violent.
