Is Skynet controlling the mechanoids?

[SpookCrow]

What's going on with the mechanoids. Are evil people sending them or is it skynet

[jzero]

well. The mechanoids are advanced AI killing machines created for just that purpose. They were being carried on whatever ship blew up and that is why they land in your land in the ship parts. Or they just get sent from orbitting ships to mess up yo stuff. So, sadly, no skynet as of now

[Klitri]

WRONG. mechanoids were created for work purpose. They are programmed to help perform tasks on glitterworlds

[A Friend]

They're ancient military bots that's gone haywire or misinterpreted an order and are going on a genocidal quest.

Oh yes, those inferno cannons and charge rifles really help out with domestic chores

"Honey! did you mutilate the dog with a minigun again?" *centipede hiding blood-spattered minigun behind back*

I suppose SOME were but not the ones we see

More or less. I just recited what they were from memory.

Depends if you class Tynan as people, both parts of your question could be stated as true. 
It's been theorized this "sabbatical" is really just a 6 month long charging and maintenance cycle that occurs every now and then.

Isn't the storyteller the one who send the mechs so they must be apart of SkyNet

[Tynan]

I kind of like leaving the mechanoids ambiguous.

I have some fun and hopefully interesting ideas for what they're about, but none of those are really represented in the game yet. You encounter them the same way the outlanders do: as mysterious, terrifying murder machines.

TYNAN HAS SPOKEN!

I have kind'a a idea of why they are on rimworlds and why they are even there...

*harp ascending notes*



The year is 3560... The first flight across the galaxy and back has been witnessed and people are wondering if they could do that. The next flight to the other end of the galaxy was to explore the new rimwolds. The explorers found mechanoids and they were friendly. They were created by a race of creatures that died before the first waking mechanoid was fully functional and an assembly line built more of them until there were no materials left. Time passes on and the year now is 4010. There are colonies of people on the rimworlds making lives for themselves and they worked with mechinoids for defense. On earth councils were corrupting to an empire. (I know, a little Star Wars story in there  ) Soon enough the leader commanded the rimworlders to give them all their goods or be killed by the military. At first the rimworlders were amused by this threat, but the mechonoids soon started turning on some of the colonies. The Earthens soon sent in blockades, many military men, mercenaries, and lots of mechanoids. The rimworlders soon lost supplies of good weapons, food, and hope as if they were rebellions to a "good" purpose. People on Earth were enraged and tried to stop it , but had to go underground to gain enough influence. 4050, the war is over and the Eartheners have won. people shut themselves in cyrosleep caskets and have mechonoids protect them. 5450, the underground groups begin to emerge after the Eartheners try to make progress happen by taking peoples' jobs away for machines to do it.

*harp decending notes*

That's my idea of why they are there...

You just made me spit on my computer a bit with that one. Good job. Also who cares about mech ships? Just crush them with a roof!

Yeah you are right. How the heck is a scyther programmed to help with tasks. The scyther is something you probably will see in a horror movie that is chasing you while it's shooting your limbs off and tearing you to bits with it's sharp blades.

That's not very USEFUL in preforming tasks on glitterworlds!!

They were just constructed with odd tasks in mind.
Scythers are your handymen
Their blades for hedge trimming
their charge rifles for nailgun related construction actvities

Centipedes were designed for flattening down walkways or roads due to their immense size and mass
their inferno cannons must of been used to bake the semi-liquid tarmac, Bitumen or Concrete so that it could be used.

Touche. But riddle me THIS. Why are they all armoured?. What, were the neighborhood kids a little too rough with old ms.Crabapples death machine?
