General Appearance: Cerberus resemble their namesake, a dog of some sort, they’re lean to the point of being naught but a skeletal structure, wired and paneled, leaving very little place to put synthetic skin. One person, on sight of the androids thought of them as an Idog or Ifish, except with claws and a lot more than cute little barking. When Running a Cerberus can take on either an upright stance or a quadruped stance where it gallops or leaps.
Upgrades: 5 Gig Information storage, 3.0 Alpha sensors (hearing), Lotus Tracking sensors. Nickel Mesh plating (Lighter build), Psy-trans (computer link to anyone with a cyberinput)
Vocoder: They Make wild barking and yipping, never usually making a sound unless giving directive to a citizen. In which case it’s awkward and sounds like a static snarl. The “Alpha” of the group is the only one that can talk properly.

Personality/rules: Their Personalities reign very close to being nothing more than a wild pack of dogs, though each has it’s own glitch, on how it behaves towards a catch. Some are rough and tumble others and careful and precise.

Ni-ice...

Do they have a "collective mind" of any sort? Do they always travel as a pack, or do some "hunt" alone? How many are there, approximately? How many are constantly active?

[Tropico]

All Androids have a "Collective mind" because basically it's all Wi-fi computers chit-chatting to eachother.

There does not need to be more than one for it to already be a threat. Cerberus are armed with long claws to claw and maime; but not sufficiently enough to kill the target. the number of Cerberus put into a hunt mostly depends on the threat of the fleeing suspect.

Citizens only need two - three, assumed Military require more, and the more top-notch the threat the more there are to pacify. As example, the highest threat, which would either be Samson, or Seven, there would probably be 50 to the full force.

The full force ammount, around 100, at least. They are, what one would say... "Devistating en masse"

None are constantly active, they require a supervising subject to awaken them. such as what Bandit did.

[The Nobody]

Okay, this answers most of my questions. Except two.

So, do the Cerberus ever travel alone, either on "regular patrol" or for any other reason?

What is the minimum number of them to be awake at the same time?

[Tropico]

1 and 2) One can be awake/'on patrol' or the afformentioned hundred. But again, they will not raise up for no specific reason and wander. they need to be awakened by a supervising subject.

Within a hunt, a team might split up within the hunt to pincer a fleeing suspect. thus a singular one might be seen running.

When awakened, again, depending on the target. 1 is min. for Civ. 15 min. for high rank Civ. 35 min for military (the amount increases by 5 depending on military rank), etc.

If a Hound is destroyed, then the number awakened for the suspect is immediately bolstered to higher numbers, 10 per destroyed hound, until there simply cannot be any more awakened.
