A moment with my GW2 main, Glitch Sootpaw!

For those unfamiliar with them, the charr are a militaristic steampunk feline race, and for a long time as an Engineer(actual in-game class) and member of the charr's Iron Legion, she had been working on autonomous weapons. She started with deployable independent turrets, then (offscreen only, since I went straight to the Mechanist subclass) learned to make drones called gyros, but those were still single-function and limited, and she was never able to get full unfettered access to Asura golems to tear one apart.

Eventually her adventures took her to the cyberpunk-looking jadepunk land of Cantha, which had advanced technology powered by magical jade which had been charged with Elder Dragon essence(which is a Thing that would need its own explanation). They were also less exclusive with their tech, and she finally was able to build her Jade Sentry, run by a primitive AI and powered by a dragon-jade reactor.

In this image, she's back in an Iron Legion workshop, doing some maintenance on one of her Jade Sentry's arms while it tries to peek over her shoulder, not understanding what she's doing. Her Canthan Jade Bot helper is doing its best to help too!
