Fictional biography
Hench was another of Medical Specialists experiments downsizing a regular bot into a smaller form to conserve energy.
Amazingly he kept his original quota of strength, but he also found he helt the need to constantly shot off, and tell everyone how strong he was for his size.
Medical Specialist dubbed it the very first case of "short 'bot syndrome". Amred with a close range SMOG-gun, for close combat concealment.
