Mechonoid Colony

Mechanoids are machines. They do not eat, do not feel mood or pain, and are immune to fire, toxic buildup, and temperature extremes - despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. As machines, they are vulnerable to EMP attacks, though will "Adapt" after 36.67 secs (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes.

All Mechonoids of this specific unique colony, possess feminine traits and builds. On a spectrum, lighter models are more lean and petite, whereas heavier models are more curvy and solid.

Sycther - Fast, spindly, human-sized combat mechanoids specializing in rapid approach and close-range combat. Their bodies are covered in points and blades, but they mostly use their two arm blades to lop off limbs or gut their victims alive.

Lancer - Fast human-sized combat mechanoids built for medium and long-range combat. Their bodies are light, making them vulnerable targets at close range - especially in melee combat.

Centipede - Heavy combat mechanoids that glide on dozens of tiny legs. Their thick carapace and firepower makes them very effective against bunched-up static defenders. They are somewhat vulnerable to mobile hit-and-run tactics.

Pikeman - A clunky multi-legged combat mechanoid specialized as a long-range weapons platform. While effective at distance, it is weak in close-range fights and in melee combat.

Veterans of mechanoid wars know that often, the safest place to be around a pikeman is touching it.

Termite - A medium-sized mechanoid. Termites specialize in burrowing, digging, and breaking through defensive structures. Defenders need to decide whether to try to eliminate the termite before it can dig through their defenses, or take it where it emerges.

Militor - A small combat mechanoid armed with a low-powered mini-shotgun. Roughly four feet tall, militors lack the power, range, and toughness of more senior combat mechs. However, it is cheap to gestate and maintain, and so is often used as a rear guard or swarm attacker.
In war, mech armies are known to send militors into urban ruins to hunt down survivors after breaking the human defenses. For this reason, they are considered by some to be the most cruel of all mechanoid patterns.

Legionary - A combat support mechanoid with a wide-range bullet shield and mid-range needle gun. Designed to support other mechanoids, the legionary is vulnerable to anyone who can get inside its shield.

Tesseron - A light, medium-range combat mechanoid. While it is fairly vulnerable to attacks, the tesseron's sweeping beam graser can pierce thick armor and even ignite shielded targets.

Scorcher - A close-approach war mechanoid that specializes in incendiary attacks. Its flame burst attack has little reach, but once it closes on a group of defenders it can ignite and disrupt them with blasts of searing flame.

Tunneler - A heavy mechanoid built for mining in treacherous locations. While intended for excavation, the tunneler's gigantic power claws and ultra-thick armor makes it a dangerous force in combat.

Centurion - An ultraheavy mech with a built-in shield bubble generator. The centurion carries a point-defense bulb turret capable of firing while the mechanoid is moving

Diabolus - An ultra-heavy mechanoid with an ultra-powerful hellsphere cannon. Made for siegebreaking, its hellsphere cannon takes time to charge up a shot, but can melt concrete and vaporize bone. The diabolus dissipates the hellsphere cannon's waste power in a heat column mounted on its back, which can pulse to ignite flammable objects nearby.

War Queen - An ultra-heavy mech with a built-in mech gestator. Fed with appropriate resources, the war queen can form small war urchin combat mechs within its massive carapace and deploy them into combat. Even more than other mechanoids, the war queen resembles a giant, living insect.

Apocriton - A mechanoid commander designed to coordinate and motivate other mechs during long extermination campaigns. Its most obvious power is its ability to resurrect recently-killed mechs by supercharging their self-repair processes. Less obviously, it is intelligent and psychically present, radiating hatred into the minds of anyone in a wide radius. It can also move quickly with its built-in jump launcher.

Cyclops - A front-line combat mechanoid named for its large optical array. The cyclops specializes in counter-shield attacks. It takes a long time to lock onto a target, but once locked on, it fires a near endless barrage of shield-piercing beams.

War Urchin - A small, deployable combat mechanoid usually manufactured inside an ultra-heavy war queen mech. War urchins are expendable fighters designed to swarm-attack enemies. They are mounted with short-ranged spiner guns and have a non-rechargeable power source.

Naturally distrustful of organics from past interactions. Although they do have a natural curiosity about organics, which can override typical distrust and hostility.

Appearance: Varied builds based on Model. Ranging from petite and lean to curvy and sturdy. All Mechonoids are covered in a mix of armored plating, and synthetic skin. With a sterile White, Grey, and Red color scheme. All Mechonoids from the colony possess feminine traits, such as Beasts, Thighs, and Butts. A major part of their design philosophy.

The advanced Mechonoid Colony. Located in a temperate mountain range, partially dug into it. Clean and advance, very utilitarian design. inhabited by Mechonoids.
