The Sonic organ allowed them to create massive shockwaves to cause AOE damage to their enemies. Speakers could come out from set places in their bodies to do all this. Looking at the AEP units with the XF-07Fx model as a mother were different. It was a special X-frame. It probably manifested a bit differently than all of the normal electric X-frame couplings. 4 of them had the ability to charge PEP and PEA units with their hands from a huge battery in their guts. The other 4 AEPs could direct strikes of electric discharge from their hands. It appeared that the AEP units were set to be instantly hostile to all of the humans. Since these ones were part of our clan it was set back to simply negative. They did not want to be near us unless they wanted us to do something for them. That could range from simply observing us, escorting them around the clan building, showing off our magic or gossiping about the other humans in the clan. Even though they were fully developed at birth, they had the mentality of a bunch of precocious children. Hunter was a target for most of their bullying. He was 5'9.
All of the AEP units were over a foot taller than him. So when they shoved him out the way or actually insulted him harshly, Hunter could do nothing about it. Sometimes they would try to provoke us all into a fight. They did this by walking up and flexing, engaging their organs but not firing off, using fighting words, or by blocking our path deliberately and trying to trip us. Paul, Brett and I were stronger than them. When they postured to us, they were just kids. We did not mind them. All we did was just pat them on the head and baby them. I honestly wanted to get them to like us more. That usually infuriated them, and they would go off in a huff. Hunter got it the worst. He was now a high level person, but he was not aware of it. He also was more of a technocrat and not an athlete. When surrounded by 3 of them, all he could do is crouch and whine. The AEP units were keen on "conquering" him for fun. When the reprogrammer would crouch down, they would just put their feet on him and cheer. "Stupid human!" they would chant at him. Could not be any of us here. It was actually a bit funny.
I thought that this was pretty cool. We had 13 new AEP units with hybrid powers. Each of their organs were only 50% of the power of a purebred AEP unit. That was to make up for having 2 powers instead of 1. We did not enforce their body types. Some took a gynomorphic, or female presenting, form. There were about 6. The rest took an andromorphic, male presenting, look. We needed to give them some new names. Bryson, Parker, Grant, Aidan, Chase, Kyan and Bryar were the names that we gave the boys. I came out with only 2 names. Paul and Brett also got to choose some. They were a bit willful and needed to be wrangled a bit before they would stand still long enough to get their name. The 6 girls that we had were named Rebecca, Courtney, Hannah, Megan, Allison and Caroline. The girls were just as antsy as the guys. None of them really liked being limited by humans in any way. They did not really seem to even want human names. However, we were the leaders of the clan they were born into. They took them and answered when called. I was glad. They looked totally identical.
