PRU (photo recon unit) has history with the Royal Air Force's photographic reconnaissance units. These units would fly over Europe and capture images or enemy positions, movements, and were also used to see how much damage was done after bombings. In WWR it seems the PRU has switched places from the skies to the ground. That or they continue as an aerial unit and their bots guard their aircraft and personnel at airbases.

The PRU's main color is pink and white. Decals show up as pink, white, or black.

Decals

Note the decal on the lower abdomen armor

The most prominent decal found on PRU bots is the half bullseye. These decal can also been seen as eye with the eyelid drawn halfway down over it (giving it that annoyed look). The decal being an eye would tie into what the PRU does. They are the eyes of a combat force providing them with vital information and intelligence before combat even begins.

Note the two circles on the cloth

The two circles decal retain the same bullseye like image of the eye decal. However, there is a line either pointing from the small circle to the center of the big one or vice versa. These two circles look like the Earth and the Moon. Now is it the EC keeping an eye on Rothchild? Or is Rothchild keeping an eye on the EC?

A initials PD can be spotted on all PRU bots. The most logical words coming from this acronym would be Photo Department or Detachment.

Note bullseye on left shoulder (our right) and the ZW on the right shoulder (our left).

Another initial found on PRU bots is ZW. This might be the initials of their unit commander.

A full bullseye can also be spotted on PRU bots. This ties back in with the PRU providing intelligence and information on what needs to be hit... putting a bullseye on them so to speak.

Note the Type G on the Bramble's arm in the left most image.

Type A or Type G (as seen on the Mighty Square) is quite the mystery decal. It might possibly refer to a bots personality type.

Note the 4748X on the head. Photo Credit: Yee

Lastly their is the 4748X decal. I've scoured high and low for a real world reference but I've come up dry. This might be just be a unit designation.

Sayings 

Note Bromwich on the launcher

Bromwich could be referring to a couple of things. First is West Bromwich which is a town located in Great Britain. Then there's Castle Bromwich which is a suburb (both West and Castle Bromwich are located in West Midlands). Castle Bromwich was home to the Castle Bromwich aerodrome which leads credence that this might be the home of this military unit.

The other saying on PRU bots is PRU with it's acronym being laid below it: photo recon unit.
