Common Pipbuck Models

Pipbuck 2000 -One of the first successfully marketed personal spell-matrices, the Pipbuck 2000 is a large and ungainly module that almost doubles the diameter of the wearer’s foreleg. It is both less durable and slightly less powerful than its 3000 predecessor, but still has a functional inventory sorter, auto-mapper, SATS, and even an eyes-forward-sparkle as a part of its basic functions. It lacks a radio receiver and the majority of the medical analysis systems integrated into all subsequent models, and is not capable of accepting upgrades or attachments meant for later-model pipbucks.

Pipbuck 3000 - By far the most widespread model of pipbuck still in use (or, indeed, existence) today, the Pipbuck 3000 was present in more than 60% of equestrian households by the end of the war. Nearly all stables came equipped with a thousand of these devices and large quantities of replacement parts. These devices are powerful and durable, and their utility in combat is unquestionable. They are even capable of delivering injected drugs into their wearer during combat. The Pipbuck 3000 is the first model of pipbuck released that was designed to interface with attachment modules, and its revolutionary and durable spell-tube driven spell matrix is easy to repair given the proper tools.

Pipbuck Alpha- This model of pipbuck is slimmer than the 3000 model, but considerably less durable as a result of compromises made in design. The alpha model was the first popularized usage of integrated magical circuits instead of the more conventional spell energy channeling tubes. It was very popular in Canterlot in the months immediately before the war’s end due to its sleek appearance, concealability, and (very important to those in Canterlot’s social circles) high price tag. Its sales in other regions were far less successful.


Pipbuck Delta - The delta model pipbuck was the sleekest, most streamlined model available when the bombs fell, never having even made it to mass production. While the durability was not significantly improved over the alpha model, the spell processing power of these devices was unmatched by any other portable device in existence, then or now. This is the only model of pipbuck with an integrated broadcaster. Unfortunately, the model was never shipped; when the Stable-Tec manufacturing facility was hit with a direct balefire blast, almost all of these intricate machines were lost forever.

 

Golden Pipbuck – There are only six of these devices in existence, created as a new generation of housings for the six facets of the elements of harmony. Their exact function is uncertain; it is known that they possess basic SATS, inventory management, and EFS capabilities, but anything beyond that point is dependent on the needs of the bearer and the element. They lack the programmability of a standard pipbuck, making them totally impossible to hack or trace at the cost of utility, but often provide bonuses on skills to make up for what their bearer lacks. They cannot be destroyed or damaged via conventional means.
