If you think that's ridiculous, than try these. Smaller variation first.

Name: N/A Wielder: Someone within the Atlesian Military, either a human soldier or one of their robotic troops. Maker/Smith: Atlesian Military Type: Automated Protective Reconnaissance Drone Weapon Derivation: In the template for the second variation below. Holstered/Inactive Form: Two variants exist: A smaller Form 1: Shield. The device uses the Dust inside to project an energy shield around the lower arm. Form 2: Drone form. The device converts into a flying, automated robot. In this form, it's pretty much a spy-bot. Once deployed, it'll leave behind a sort of control device on the user's lower arm to control them. Dust Capacity: Like many pieces of tech, it still requires Dust as an energy source. When in "shield" mode, it can harness its reserves to conjure up a small hard-light projection, using it as the shield. Ammunition: N/A Usage: Pretty much for the sneaky kind of folk; Spies, assassins, and the like. The Drone form can be used to gather Intel on the enemy and allow the user to develop a plan. The shield function can be used to defend the user while their in combat. Planned/Possible Upgrades: As said, there's a larger (though more costly) variant. Notes: In the Notes of the second variation below. And now for the larger boy.

Name: N/A Wielder: Someone within the Atlesian Military, either a human soldier or one of their robotic troops. Maker/Smith: Atlesian Military Type: Automated Protective Attack Drone Weapon Derivation: Wolf and Saint of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Promethean Watchers of Halo 4. Holstered/Inactive Form: Shield Form. Attaches to the upper arm. Form 1: Shield. While the smaller Reconnaissance drone variant uses Dust to project an energy shield, this model is the shield. The user's Aura may also add to its durability, since it can be extended to weapons as well. Form 2: Attack drone form. The shield converts into an automated drone, with a sort of laser cannon or blaster on it. Once it's deployed, it'll active it's own energy shield, giving it additional protection against enemy fire. Dust Capacity: Like the smaller model, Dust is used to power its systems. Ammunition: The lasers fired from the drone are fueled by Dust. Usage: The drone's size and flight capabilities can be quite useful for dealing with melee-bashed enemies. However, enemies with ranged weapons or great strength may prove to be troublesome for the drone. Planned/Possible Upgrades: The attack-drone variant ain't as common as the recon drone version due to its size, weight, and cost of resources. The Atlesian Military currently trying to make a less costly (and more light-weighted) version as of the present day. Notes: Just some crazy idea I came up with.
