Counting with a heavy arsenal and an improved energy core, Killobot is a tenacious and tough enough robotic warrior enhanced for physical combat with his hefty hands and legs, and able to attack with big energy blasts with the artificial orbs located o the palm of his hands and the blaster over his arms.

STORY
First constructed as an assault and strike robotic soldier, this unit was meant to replace human soldiers in future Borgan invasions and other possible extraterrestrial conflicts, replicating both tactic and technology already applied by Borgans in their last attempt of invasion to Earth.
Due to a fail on his warfare protocols, the experiment developed a unique algorithm that boosted his warlike inclinations, making him potencially dangerous due to he now started to seek for what he himself called, a satisfactory victory, claiming that once a target is set, it should be eliminated as soon as possible, at all cost.
This behavior was not acceptable neither for S.A.F.E. who provided the technology to create him, nor for Stanford, who financed the project, but they agreed that there is potential that they could still exploit from him, so they proceeded to deactivate him and put him in a store.
After Genetius turned away from Stanford's direction, the scientific stole the unit with the help of Scorter. Then, after getting his programation altered by Genetius and the reactivated, the unit now renamed Killobot, swore total loyalty Genetius' command.

CHARACTER BUILDING
Most of the reasons of his existence are spoilers for now, so I'll just that I needed Scorter had a partner instead of going solo, and Killobot will also be the kind of character that becomes annoying along the story, the one you wish he died for good.
As for his design, I always imagined him being similar to a Medabot. So if you had that impression before your read this, then you're half the way to know how I created him. I made a previous concept, but in one moment, I ran out of inspiration or sight of what I wanted, so it was put aside. The other half of his design -like most of my characters- is based on Heavy Metal , since they are their own equivalents in both universes, a killing machine whose actual target is a slippery, basic lifeform called Marx Hogarth.
And last, but not least, his name derivates from an assignation of names that Genetius gives to his creations, and scales according to how new it is: Kilobyte Killobot (you may be assuming right now), Megabyte for Scorter, Gigabyte for Gigatron, and Terabyte for Genatron. The codename assigntion begins with Killobot, as his name is a combination of the words Kilobyte, and killer robot.
