If there's ever a Team Fortress 3 it needs to carry the ironic retro nostalgia thing the series has developed to its logical conclusion and situate itself in a straight-faced pastiche of what folks in the 1950s thought the year 2000 would be like and show these chucklefucks what a real sci-fi shooter looks like.

The Seiko UC-2000 was one of the first "smart watches" to hit the market in 1984. The watch itself could store up to 2k data, perform calculator functions, and, of course, tell time.
The UC-2200 (bottom image) was an external keyboard dock that offered additional computer functionalities with its spool-fed printer, 4K of RAM and a 26K of ROM via a plug-in Application ROM pack (Microsoft Basic) – other ROM packs had games or an English to Japanese translation app.

Behold—the space station of the future! (…from 1973)
This artist’s concept gives a cutaway view of the Skylab orbital workshop, which launched 50 years ago on May 14, 1973. Established in 1970, the Skylab Program's goals were to enrich our scientific knowledge of Earth, the sun, the stars, and cosmic space; to study the effects of weightlessness on living organisms; to study the effects of the processing and manufacturing of materials in the absence of gravity; and to conduct Earth-resource observations.
Three crews visited Skylab and carried out 270 scientific and technical investigations in the fields of physics, astronomy, and biological sciences. They also proved that humans could live and work in outer space for extended periods of time, laying the groundwork for the International Space Station.

Robots have a tendency to team up when they have complementary abilities and similar objectives.
And no, they don't feel like they're missing something if they don't have limbs — they simply ask another machine!
The characters are RYUJIN, an interfacer who has wandered Mars for a century, and TOSHI, a security warbot that was broken out of its endless routine by RYUJIN.
They were produced by Hokota Group and Kasawi Heavy Industries, respectively; both are Pact machines.
Read the lore here.
