The IF Prototype LQ-84i, (IF standing for "Interface") also known as the Bladewolf, and once referred to informally as the K-9000 by Kevin Washington, is a quadrupedal robot with a learning optical neuro-AI and a prototype verbal interface, resembling Crying Wolf's beast form. Known weapons systems included a chainsaw attached to his back that could be used to cut opponents, spring-loaded HF knives, a rail gun, This can be seen in the Bladewolf blueprints from the viral marketing site. as well as extendable claws. His tail also acted as a manipulator arm similar to that of the Gekko units. Similar unmanned gears called Fenrirs existed as well, apparently being mass-produced models of LQ-84i. This is implied by both their overall similarities and the LQ-84i referring to itself as a prototype.
Blueprints for LQ-84i were downloaded into Raiden, an agent for the PMSC Maverick Security Consulting, Inc., during or prior to being severely injured in a mission. Maverick later recovered the cluster file via Raiden's arm, although they not only had to input a password to bypass the encryption process, but also enact an override system in the process.
