Self-Destruction

Several Killbots have a Self-Destruct System equipped. It is a module which, when activated, destroys the entire Killbot, forcing it to explode, either to prevent capture, to prevent a much more catastrophic demise or to cover a deniable mission. Generally, it is activated by any high-value Killbot upon the presence of a live enemy (which is probably aware of the Killbot's whereabouts) while the Killbot is disabled. It can also be externally deployed on a Killbot by another one for use in operations.

Procedure
On self-destruct, a Killbot flashes two red lights while emitting a high beep. It continues for two seconds before it suddenly increases in tempo. This lasts two seconds (for regular Killbots) until a black light flashes once, after which the unit explodes.
