Kevin and Suzy were trapped in a tight spot. On the speedway behind them, stood the saw-wielding death machine, while the road in front was being prowled by a pack of dangerous hunter robots.
During the machine invasion, the Zaphounds had been deployed to hunt down all human civilians hiding in the ruined buildings and parking lots. These robots always hunted in packs which made them even more dangerous. If one ran into one Zaphound, it was a sign that others were lurking nearby.
Suzy counted eight hounds in the pack, all searching the ruined buildings nearby. Luckily, they weren't led by a Galvatron, the oversized robot wolf that usually accompanied the Zaphounds during hunts.
"I don't know how you want me to take out all these dogs without firing my main weapons. This is never gonna work out," Kevin said, carefully watching the hounds as they went about their business unbothered.
Zaphound: A Zaphound is an autonomous hunter class robot that is deployed to hunt down humans hiding in the ruined city. It can reach speeds of over 150 miles/hour and leap over great distances.
Zaphounds hunt in packs and are usually led by a Galvatron. They are lightly armored, but highly mobile units. They excel at close quarters combat, but lack any ranged weapons.
