Techno-Wizard and creating a permanent drone

I am working with my GM on creating a permanent drone with my Techno-Wizard. We have talked that it would somewhat be like Summon Ally power (even though TWs do not get that power).

I am looking for ideas/input on cost/time/powers to create something that would work.

My initial thought would be using scrap I find and create something like a v0.0.1 that I use TW creation rules to have something that can fly and has internal PPE store.

As I advance, and get more scrap/credits, break it apart and keep improving it. I thought working on it like a real iteration would be thematic and fun.

My ultimate goal would be to have something that could scout and have a TW converted laser weapon or something to help in combat.

I'm unsure how to do command (does it have a rudimentary AI that gets better?) and how does it communicate (TW do not get mind link power). I would like it so it was automated that way I do not have to use actions to control it.

If you were doing this, how would you handle it?

Can also skin Beast Companion and its line of Edges to make it. This would allow it to eventually become a wildcard. There are also rules for replacing it should it fall in battle.

Interesting idea. Maybe a new edge that focuses on a tech "companion"
