Below is a brief description of the many models of robots designed by Professor Atombender or by the A.I. themselves in the years following the physical death of the evil genius. This list is not complete as it doesn't include threats that hasn't been detected yet by previous agents killed in action too soon. Reports about rare robots vaguely hint to oversized models which have just been barely glimpsed before the death of the unfortunate spies witnessing them.
model A: SentryBot
movement: linear induction motor
weaponry: ionic plasma generator
behavior: various (can or can't shoot, at designated spots, toward the agent, at the edges of a platform; can or can't turn; can or can't detect the agent, when he enters the room, when he is in front of them at the same altitude; can or can't move; independently or only as long as he sees the agent; can move slow, very slow, fast or very fast; can or can't turn back while advancing to see if the agent is behind them; can either shoot or move when detect the agent)
notes: this has always been the most common robot model produced by Elvin; legions of these robots were created for his first stronghold and many of them are still operational almost four decades later.
model B: FloatBot
movement: magnetic suspension field
weaponry: ionic plasma generator
behavior: various (can or can't shoot, at designated spots, toward the agent, at the edges of a platform; can or can't turn; can or can't detect the agent, when he enters the room, when he is in front of them at the same altitude; can or can't move; independently or only as long as he sees the agent; can move slow, very slow, fast or very fast; can or can't turn back while advancing to see if the agent is behind them; can either shoot or move when detect the agent)
movement: linear induction motor
weaponry: freezing field
behavior: patrolling back and forth independently of the agent's movement
notes: while not lethal, these models make intruders lose precious time in a freezed status: once touched, the agent remains immobile for ten minutes (however the perceived time is a few seconds in which everything appears to frantically accelerate). Although unharmed by the FreezeBot, the paralyzed agent remains exposed to the touch of other wandering robots such as SpiderBots and BallBots, which can kill him.
movement: linear induction motor
weaponry: none; repulsive magnetic field
behavior: pushes intruders off the platforms with its magnetic field
notes: updated and smarter version of the ShovelBots previously used by Elvin in the L.A. eight towers
movement: magnetic suction cups
weaponry: high voltage field, lethal to the touch
behavior: follows walls and platforms
notes: spiderbots are very mischievous models whose movements must be carefully studied by intruders to avoid them
movement: linear induction motor
weaponry: high voltage field, lethal to the touch
behavior: while in thermo-optic camouflage mode they patrol back and forth independently of the agent's movement
notes: InvisiBots are even more mischievous than SpiderBots due to their permanent invisibility; though, the careful eye can spot them as thermal waves that slightly distort the vision of what's behind them
movement: magnetic suspension field
weaponry: high voltage field, lethal to the touch
behavior: slowly floats in air towards intruders; they are destroyed when touching other robots
notes: a little number of the old floating balls of the original professor's underground stronghold is still operational
movement: android legs
weaponry: high voltage field, lethal to the touch
behavior: runs towards intruders
notes: a rare model of replicant droid designed using the famous Agent 4125 as a reference; it's an irony of fate that these robots will now face for the first time the very clone of their original human template
movement: none
weaponry: ionic plasma turboray
behavior: detects intruders and aims at them in a few seconds
notes: a model created by the A.I. themselves, as is evident from the very abstract and minimal design style; very little is known about this strange machine since it has only been spotted once by Agent Bravo 98 mere seconds before being vaporized; on the left is the only available image
movement: magnetic suspension field
weaponry: high voltage field, lethal to the touch
behavior: slowly floats in air towards intruders
notes: another model created by the robots themselves, the Rover is an albino version of the classic black BallBot; it has been created specifically to patrol corridors which, in the previous strongholds of Elvin, were free from any robot
movement: rotating servomotors
weaponry: none
behavior: it rotates towards intruders to constantly focus them
notes: harmless device that allows Elvin's digitalized consciuousness to follow the agents, taunt and make fun of them during their efforts
