Page "Bolo (tank)" Paragraph 6

On several occasions, Bolos have turned against their commanders during combat: in Bolo !, a damaged Mark XXV loses its IFF capability, causing it to attack a fellow Bolo.

Similarly, a Mark XXXIII ( HCT / Hector ) was subverted by an alien AI and turned into a prison guard in Bolo Strike.

Conversely, Bolos have occasionally refused to carry out illegal or dishonourable orders, such as Unit NKE ( Nike ) in The Triumphant or Unit LEN ( Lonesome Son ) in The Road to Damascus.
