Insectoids (Challenge of the GoBots)

Revision as of 11:06, 12 May 2008

The Insectoids were a mechanical insect race that featured in GoBots Invasion from the 21st Level.

History

The history of the Insectoids is largely unknown except that they are inhabitants of the 21st level, one of the parallel dimensions adjacent to Earth. Xor as well as four drones were ripped from their realm and onto Earth by Dr. Braxis's Interphaser device which was used by the Renegades to bring in vicious creatures to attack the Guardian as well as Earth. Once there, they began their own conquest of the planet.

Background

Their armoured bodies appeared mechanical which were typically dark graish in colour mixed with a lighter grayish tone on their heads, arms as well as their legs. Their eyes were typically yellow in colour and it was where they were capable of shooting out powerful energy beams. Their mouths consisted of mandibles.

The creatures were quite capable of understanding technology with the Queens at least aware of dimensional technology stating that the device that brought her to Earths realm was primitive yet effective.

The creatures spoke their own language as well as english.

Drones

These were the smallest of the Insectoids with stockier bodies, domed heads and reverse jointed legs. Their antenna were very small and appeared as two little stubs on their heads.

A typical Drone tactic was to hop and ram their enemies which was quite a devastatng action though one that could be turned against them through the proper use of magnetic energy nets which they struggled against. Simply stated, the easiest way to handle the drones was simply to get out of their way when they attempt to ram though this is easier said then done.

The drones were completely loyal to their queen and followed their orders even when defeat was apparent or when they were outnumbered.

Warriors

The warriors had more pronounced armoured features which were capable of surviving GoBot weapon fire as well as bladed attacks like those of Cop-turs which barely dented their armour though ship cannons like those on Rogue-star could vaporise them.

Insectoids were intelligent though somewhat single minded as well as capable of being outsmarted. Their nature meant that while pursuing their foes they did not take care to watch out for others of their kind which meant that they crashed into their own forces.

Queens

The Queens were taller then the other castes and somewhat more feminine in appearance. They possessed a cowl by their necks making them more regal looking as well as longer antennae. Like the other castes, they were capable of shooting energy blasts from their eyes. In addition, they had psionic powers strong enough to move objects, resist dimensional portals by overloading the generators creating them and even severly damaging a starship the size of Roguestar.

The only known member of this caste encountered was Xor, its unknown if she is the only member of this group or if there are others like her in her home dimension. They were quite intelligent and were aware of a science far above Humanity as dimensional technology was within their understanding.
