Sonny is a variant of the United States Robotics NS-5 model robot. He was built by Doctor Alfred Lanning who wrote the three laws of robotics and ushered in the age of modern robotics.

He has some differences from the normal NS-5s namely he can simulate emotion, he dreams, he is constructed with a denser alloy, and he can choose break the three laws if he wants to.

This RT mentions Spooner a few times, he is a cop and in terms of physicals he is mostly just a pretty in shape human. But he does have some cybernetic implants, one of his arms, a few ribs and a lung which should be ether on par or worse than what the robots are using.

The guns in setting make capacitor noises yet still appear to have a muzzle flash and sound like a normal gun. There are a few possible explanations.

1. They are coilguns (they cannot be railguns because we see inside the barrel in a shot) that also use propellant for the added kick. This could potentially improve muzzle velocity and power. Albeit not really quantifiable improvement but still something to think about.

2. The writers/director wanted the guns to make sci-fi noises.

Strength:

• [Striking] Kicks a metal security door off its hinges.
  • Here is how thick the door is
• [Striking] Spooner punches a hole in the ground.
• [Striking] Knocks a human back a long distance with a palm strike.
• [Striking/other] Sonny puts his hand through a (relatively thin) metal door and splits it
• [Striking] NS-5s rip off limbs and punch through the metal casings of NS-4s.
• [Striking] Dents a metal table.
  • This table is fairly thick.
• [Striking] Punches a hole in a NS-5's head.
• [Striking/kicking] A one armed NS-5 disarms Spooner, kicks him and hits him hard enough to dent the weapon it is using.
• Kills a NS-5 by putting it in a head lock
• [Throwing] Throws Spooner a ways.
  • One armed NS-5 throws Spooner
• [Grip strength] This happens. This is actually pretty impressive when you think about how far Spooner got thrown and there was enough centrifugal force on Spooner (weighs 200 lb) to overcome gravity on even some of the early swings.
• [Lifting?] Sonny pushes open a security door
• [Lifting] A one armed NS-5 lifts up a car and gets it sliding fast enough to crack concrete.

Durability:

Note: Sonny is made from a denser alloy than normal NS-5s so presumably he is more durable than they are.

• [Striking] Head slammed into the ground by an NS-5.
• [Striking] Gets thrown into a wall so hard it gets dented (also a strength feat because scaling off the NS-5)
• [Blunt] A normal NS-5 (this is the one with one arm) survives getting smashed into a bent.
  • Slow motion because it is hard to see.
• [Falling] Jumps out of a high window and cracks the floor upon landing.
• [Penetrating] A bullet hits an NS-5's shoulder and it continues like nothing happened
• [Energy?] Able to reach into a Safety Field
  • This is what happens when a Normal NS-5 goes into a Safety Field.
• Limits
  • Even a single bullet to the right place can be nigh fatal. Sonny was losing a lot of fluids and needed to travel to a repair facility because of this shot.
  • Spooner with his robotic arm can damage the casing of a normal NS-5
  • Normal NS-5s can get cut in half by high tension cables getting cut
  • NS-5s will die from a single bullet to the head or a few to the center of mass.

Speed/agility:

• [Dodging/agility] Ether the SWAT team has some of the worst aim in fiction or Sonny is really good at aim dodging/dodging bullets.
• [Dodging/agility] Avoids most of Spooner's gunfire.
• [Jumping] Self explanatory.
• [Jumping/agility] Jumps of the underside of a support inorder to be fast enough to save Dr. Calvin. Note: Spooner jumped off first but Sonny beat him to catching up with Calvin by over a second.
• [Agility] After dropping down from the ceiling a NS-5 does some fancy gymnastics
• [travel/sprinting] NS-5s easily out run Spooner despite his long head start
• [Climbing] NS-5s start their climb up to the top of the building (which is very tall)
  • At the top
• [Reaction] Unfortunately this is a gif, but if you could hear Sonny he would be saying "by the time you fire, I will have moved Dr. Calvin's head into the path of your bullet"

Skill:

• [Hearing] Hears Spooner putting tension on his gun's trigger from a ways away.
• [Sensing] Robots have been said to be able to detect vital signs, and things like stress patterns in peoples voices.
• [Hand speed/fine control] Have very good fine control of their hands/arms.
  • Cutting vegetables
  • Drawing
• [Aim] Sonny is a pretty good shot.
