Here is the first of a series of constructs. As I have already anticipated, the Hyperboreans in my setting are extremely few but to compensate for this they have become masters in the creation of constructs as the backbone of their army and in the creation of biological and bacteriological weapons including even viruses and poisons that destroy the divine ranks of the infected creature. The first in the series is the Man of Iron. Even though it is only considered the low-grade cannon fodder in the Hyperborean army, it can go against a Demi-Deity, and when tens of thousands are released simultaneously, with perhaps a Man of Adamantine or a Man of Orichalcum as well, the Pantheons also tremble.

Adaptive Defensive Programming (Ex)
Three times per day as an immediate action, a Man of Iron can change one of its resistances to any other energy type for 10 minutes.
Atomizer (Ex)
As a full-round action once every 3 rounds, a Man of Iron can fire a ray as a ranged touch attack. On a hit, the ray deals 1d6 points of damage for Man of Iron’s HD. When used against an object, the atomizer disintegrates as much as a 10-foot cube of nonliving matter. A creature or object that succeeds at a Fortitude save DC 29 instead takes only one-quarter normal damage. Any creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this attack is entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. A disintegrated creature’s equipment is unaffected. The save DC is Intelligence-based.
Auto-Destruct Core (Ex)
As a full-round action, and automatically without any action when reduced to 0 hit points, a Man of Iron can cause its central power core to overheat and self-destruct in an explosion that destroys the robot and deals 1d10 points of damage per HD of the Man of Iron to all targets in a 30-foot radius. Half of this damage is fire damage and the other half is slashing damage. Creatures in this area that succeed at a Reflex saving throw DC 29 take half damage. This explosion subjects those affected to severe radiation. The save DC is Intelligence-based.
Booster Jets (Ex)
As a swift action up to 10 times per hour, a Man of Iron can gain a fly speed of 60 feet (good maneuverability) for a duration of 1 minute.
Cling (Ex)
A combination of magnetic pads and electrostatic emitters in its feet allow a Man of Iron to climb and travel on vertical or horizontal surfaces without having to attempt Climb checks, even allowing it to traverse these surfaces while upside down.
Electromagnetic Pulse (Ex)
Every 1d4 rounds, as a standard action, a Man of Iron can unleash an electromagnetic pulse in a 60-foot radius that bypasses any active force fields (or similar effects) and deals 20d6 points of electricity damage to any robots, creatures with electronic circuits, creatures that use electricity signal in their body (like humans) or creatures with cybernetic implants. Creatures affected by this attack that succeed at a Reflex save DC 29 take only half the normal amount of damage. This effect doesn’t harm the robot itself. Any technological item within this radius is drained of 1d12 charges unless the item succeeds at a Reflex save. The save DC is Intelligence-based.
Ego (Ex)
Unlike other weak construct, a Man of Iron has good Fortitude and Will save, and add its Charisma modifier to hit point and Fortitude save in place of Constitution.
Flexible Programming (Ex)
Ten times per day as an immediate action, a Man of Iron can gain the benefit of any feat for which it qualifies but does not have. Each feat remains in effect for 1 minute. In addition, it counts its racial Hit Dice as fighter levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats. If it has levels in fighter, these Hit Dice stack with these levels.
God Killer (Ex)
All the damage dealt by a Man of Iron count as magic and epic (artifacts) for the purpose of affecting Immortals. When a Man of Iron kill a deity this counts as if it killed him in his native plane (godly realm) to make sure he really died.
Hyperborean Celerity (Ex)
For 1 round every 10 minutes, can make a double action just as if it had the Time Dilation Cosmic ability.
Hyperborean Construction (Ex)
This construct is fashioned with the knowledge of the lost Hyperborean empire. This construct use d20’s for Hit Dice and has maximum hit points per Hit Die. It gains an antidivinity bonus to attack roll, save, checks, AC, DC, PR/SR, CMD, CMD equal to ½ its HD. Antidivinity is like a normal bonus but that work only against creatures with a divine rank. This antidivinity bonus its not calculated on this sheet.
Integrated Weaponry (Ex)
A Man of Iron’s has integrated weaponry. These weapons cannot be disarmed, removed, or sundered. A Man of Iron’s programming allows it to wield these weapons as if it were proficient in their use. All the integrated weaponry are recharged as a free action that does not provoke attack of opportunity. Unlike normal integrated weaponry, a Man of Iron can make iterative attacks with the machine gun and plasma sword.
Laser Cannon (Ex)
Mounted on his back, a Man of Iron has mounted a laser cannon. These weapons emit beams of intensely focused light waves that resolve as touch attacks and deal fire damage. A laser can pass through force fields and force effects like a wall of force without damaging that field to strike a foe beyond. Objects like glass or other transparent barriers do not provide cover from lasers (but unlike force barriers, glass still takes damage from a laser strike passing through it). Invisible creatures are immune to damage caused by a laser weapon. Fog, smoke, and other clouds provide cover in addition to concealment from laser attack
Machine Gun (Ex)
One of the Man of Iron’s arms ends in a powerful machine gun. This weapon has a range of 150 feet and deals 4d6 points of damage. Because the ammunition is ejected from the Man of Iron’s body, the machine gun add the construct’s Strength modifier on damage rolls. This weapon has the automatic property and because is integrated, never suffer misfire, and does not impart the -2 (from the automatic property) and -4 (from the use without being mounted) penalty to attack rolls.
Plasma Sword (Ex)
One of the Man of Iron’s arms has mounted, a sword that as a blade has plasma and deal damage with the mere touch. Its damage is half electricity and the other half is fire. The Man of Iron can retract inside the arm or extract the blade as a swift action to free the hand and allow precise manipulation of objects.
Prana Generator (Ex)
The Man of Iron gains a perfection bonus equal to 1/5 its HD to attack roll, save, initiative, checks, AC, DC, PR/SR, CMD, and CMD.
Remote Communication (Ex)
Using radio signals, invisible lasers, or other means, a Man of Iron is capable of communicating with other robot with the Hyperborean constructed trait that also have this ability instantaneously and without making any sound over long distances. This ability has a range of 100 miles. This signal is blocked by 1 foot of metal, 5 feet of stone, or 20 feet of organic matter.
Shield (Ex)
The Man of Iron use technological shield. This provide a 100 hp barrier that surrounds this construct. Damage done to the Man of Iron is applied to the shield first. It regenerates 5 health per round. This replace the force fields of the robot subtype.
Superior Optics (Ex)
Man of Irons see invisible creatures or objects as if they were visible.
Suppression Fire (Ex)
As a full-round action, a Man of Iron can give up its regular attacks and instead make one machine gun attack at its highest base attack bonus against each opponent within reach of its weapon. It must make a separate attack roll against each opponent. When it use the Suppression Fire, the machine gun lose the automatic weapon property, and also the Man of Iron forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities. Suppression Fire can be used at will but must wait 1d6 rounds between uses.
Sustenance (Ex)
A Man of Iron’s core can process scrap metal into new ammunition, effectively giving the construct infinite ammunition with its integrated weapons.
