Rovers are the first drones, repurposed to quickly reclaim post-apocalyptic territory. Cheap and effective, they are a wonder of technology, and a humiliation to intelligent design.
Cloakbots are robots meant to replace human warfare, gone wrong. The drones borrow the same design with different weapons. The drones gain similar advantages as a human troop. They became widely used, due to lack of need of human supervision.
Tanks are a classic. Tanks are designed to take a beating and dish out heavy damage. Robotic crew allowed for tighter chassis designs.
Ships are the first automated vehicle. Over time, they grew stronger, but remained relatively unchanged. The ships are made specifically for sea, to be able to house the clumsiest of guns.
Shieldbots are a protectorate army gone wrong. Initially meant to reduce human losses, they ended up being used to abuse power and strength, with minimal losses. They are appropriately renamed to "thugs," down from defenders.
Spiders are designed for besieging the mountains. They were used to patrol inaccessible "safe havens."
Jumpbots are experimental weaponry. From flamethrowers to police units, from self-replicating drones to melee fighters, the design varies. They were not made to be strong, but to confuse and surprise the enemy.
Hovers are revolutionary tech built for a niche. Meant to quickly surf the seas & terrorize islands, then get out, without getting damaged. Hovers are designed for blitzkrieg.
Amphs were made to assist in all situations, sea and desert, mountains and plains. Much of its tech is meant to support more specialized factories, with tools ranging from hulks to moblity tools.
Planes are made to assassinate key targets. Prolonged use is ill-advised.
Gunships are made for difficult terrain. They make best of mobility and speed. Some designs utilize high altitudes for increased performance.
Striders are experimental weaponry. Deployed by wealthy nations, each strider is designed to perform a single task superbly.
Dante was designed to eliminate hives.
Scorpion was designed for assassinating targets.
Paladin was designed for general warfare.
Funnelweb was designed to assist general armies.
Detriment equips all the best tech, at the expense of absurd cost.
Ultimatum was designed to assassinate hefty targets.
Athena was designed as a general-purpose engineer and scout, for advanced warfare.
Over time, metal overtook life. Then life overtook metal. Then
metal became life.To protect the jungle,
many obstacles were devised.
