Berzerk

A Berzerk, formally designated as EB Model No. 0045 Berzerk, or Berserker as it was sometimes called, is a Terminator heavy support unit, and inadvertently Prasiolite's most iconic foe, mainly because it has an asymmetric design; a large cannon arm at the right and a clamp at the left. It was also famous for having digitigrade legs, and a primitive voice synthesizer with highly constricted vocabulary.

Design
A Berzerk was designed as a humanoid heavy support unit, but has some physical characteristics that were not found in any machine. Its torso and head were all convex-shaped, albeit more pointed. The head, though, was protected by gray armor, giving an appearance of what looks like it is wearing a helmet of sorts.

The Berzerk has a somewhat beefy build, with its shoulders resembling somewhat like that of samurai armor when viewed from the front. The design for its legs were rather awkward; they were arranged in a digitigrade position, making it resemble a little like a Protoss Zealot from the StarCraft series. More awkward, the design for the Berzerk is asymmetrical. On the left arm, It is armed with a heavy blaster cannon that can prove devastating against unarmored Rebel vehicles, and fire 3-round bursts. On the right arm, however, it is also armed with a clamp that can crush opponents in close-quarters combat, as well as crushing through even the thickest vehicle armor. It stands up at 2.75 meters — an imposing sight in the battlefield.

Combat Characteristics
Berzerks were designed as the muscles of entire Grunt battalions. They were heavily armed and armored, and can devastate unarmored Rebel vehicles with its heavy blaster cannon grafted onto its right arm. They were also superhumanly strong, being able to kick away main battle tanks without effort, as well as throwing them out of the way and crashing through walls intact. For close quarters combat, it was also armed with a clamp that can crush even through the thickest vehicle armor. This makes dealing with it in close combat extremely hazardous, as their clamps were strong enough to crush even bones.

Origin of the name
Little is known about the origins of Berzerk's name, but is was believed that its name came from the namesake arcade video game made by Stern Electronics in 1980, mainly because it revolutionizes the early use of voice synthesis in the video game industry. This gives out the hint that the Berzerk was given a primitive voice synthesizer with highly constricted vocabulary, counting up to 25 in total. The Berzerk's primitive voice chip makes them sound very robotic, varying from deep and low to high and fast.
