The Sociopath: Major Green sees nothing wrong with turning four robot soldiers loose on a village full of innocent people as a test of their functionality - or with siccing them on the American citizens who just happened to witness the massacre.

Power at a Price: Invoked with the plan to use BR-03 to hunt down BR-04 - its upgrades make it faster and stronger, at the cost of burning through its battery in only five hours.

Artificial Intelligence: Each of the four robots possesses an AI so advanced that they have to be kept cut off from any outside sources of information in order to keep them from learning anything that might affect their performance. Naturally, one of them loses its Restraining Bolt - and then finds an Internet connection.
