My idea is that these guys are deployed to locations after the war moves away from there. They're there to salvage anything reusable, be it metal, plastic, electronics, in order to bring it back to Alliance bases where they can be processed and recycled.

They're deployed alongside Medics who search for survivors. Salvagers, as they rummage through all the wreckage Medics are not suited for, may expose those areas and find survivors. If the found Alliance units are non-functional, and Medics determine them as beyond saving, the Salvagers will scrap those bodies (after the identities of the fallen are registered and confirmed).

Salvagers use various instruments and tools to retrieve materials from old battlefields. They use multiple cutting blades to cut through metal, multimeters for electronics, or similar. The blades can be used as weapons in self-defense, in such a case that there're still Skibs/Astros hiding. They're equipped with thick gloves and durable boots. All Salvager units have mounted dual flashlights to secure visibility (and ensure visual identity). Salvager Cameramen wear jetpacks on their backs; Salvager Speakermen don't.

After stuff is collected, Salvager Large Speakers, who mostly function as haulers, carry these massive amounts of debris into vans or helicopters, or even containers to be teleported by the TV Men. Salvager Large Speakers have bright rotating floodlights on their shoulders, providing large-scale visibility for their smaller comrades.

The TV Men do not have their own Salvagers. The Cameras often lack large Salvager units.

The Salvagers are colloquially known as "Scavengers", but they hate the term because it assumes they just collect junk/trash—they don't. They're a vital part of the Alliance which makes sure the Alliance can survive and grow. Without Salvagers, there would be no resources.
