TimeSplitters Wiki

Aliens are normally-different humanoid species that do not originate from Earth, and vary wildly in appearance throughout the TimeSplitters series. The aliens in TimeSplitters 1 have unique characteristics that make them individualistic, while the aliens in TimeSplitters 2 (excluding Calamari, Drone Splitter and Baby Drone) can be lumped into two main groups: the Mox and the TimeSplitters (despite the TimeSplitters actually being genetically-altered humans). TimeSplitters: Future Perfect featured only one new alien of note, the Koozer Mox.

TimeSplitters 1[]

In TimeSplitters 1, there are several markedly different alien races that appear.

2020, Planet X[]

Aliens first appear in 2020, during the Planet X Story mission, in which they are presented as being seemingly hostile to the human species, taking a cyberbrain hostage for unknown reasons. The aliens that appear here are the Green Alien, Red Alien and Pillar Alien. Whether these aliens are native to Planet X or not is unknown. This marks the earliest point in the series in which alien creatures are encountered (barring the TimeSplitters themselves).

2035, Spaceways[]

Aliens appear in Story mode again, fifteen years later at the Spaceways space port in 2035. Alongside the same species mentioned above, two more unique Alien races are encountered: the Female Aliens and Float Aliens. Yet again, those that are encountered are hostile, but no reason is given.

TimeSplitters 2[]

In TimeSplitters 2, none of the original alien races make a reappearance, although several new species appear to fill the void.

2280, Planet X[]

A new species of alien is introduced in TimeSplitters 2 that is shown to be fighting a civil war on Planet X: the Mox. Little is known of their history or culture, except that there are (seemingly) two main races of Mox: Ozor and Meezor. They are an advanced species, possessing state-of-the-art infrastructure and space craft.

2401, Space Station[]

The final Story mission introduces another race of alien: the Drone Splitters and their offspring. Despite their name, they are a separate species to the TimeSplitters, being formerly peaceful amphibians that have been forced into slavery through the use of spinal implants. Also, while not shown in the level, another creature called the Calamari (a large cephalopod) is described as being an alien creature of the time period.

TimeSplitters: Future Perfect[]

Although aliens do make a reappearance in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, only one new alien is introduced, who does not appear in Story mode: the previously-unmentioned Koozer Mox, who are said to have taken over Planet X after the Ozor and Meezor fought each other to extinction.

TimeSplitter Race[]

Before their backstory was changed in Future Perfect to turn them into "mankind's genetic superiors" created by Jacob Crow, the TimeSplitters themselves were originally an alien race in the first games. Their creation spanned two and a half centuries, and they are hostile to all humans, seeking to wreak havoc by altering history.

The Scourge Splitters are mentioned as being the TimeSplitters' leaders, presumably answering only to Jacob Crow himself. They are a constant presence throughout the series, but radically different types appear in each game. The first TimeSplitters features TimeSplitter 1 and TimeSplitter 2; TimeSplitters 2 features the aforementioned Scourge Splitter and Reaper Splitter, while TimeSplitters: Future Perfect features the Berserker Splitter.

TimeSplitter 1, TimeSplitter 2 and Reaper Splitters behave just like each other, using electrical powers instead of weapons. Berserker Splitters act this way as well, but seem to be more wild and brutal, as well as being much larger. Scourge Splitters are the most human-like variant, mainly due to them using guns and their lack of electrical powers or teleportation.
