Robot

From TimeSplitters Wiki

Robot characters have appeared in all the TimeSplitters Games. In the games, there are a few Robot Scenarios, such as The Machine Wars and the Robot Factory. Robots are usually under the control of a more intelligent something, such as Jacob Crow or the Machinist. In the games, robots are mostly used as war machines, so they are very capable fighters.

[edit] Series

There are several different robot series. The most different characteristic in each series is appearance alone, not the actual function, as almost all robots are meant as war machines.

[edit] R-100

Main article: R-100 Series

The R-100 robots are some of the more common robots in the games. They are featured in each TimeSplitters game, with R-108 in TimeSplitters 1, R-109 in TimeSplitters 2, and R-110 in TimeSplitters Future Perfect. These are some of the more bulky and powerful robots. Due to R-109 in TimeSplitters 2, and R-110 in TimeSplitters Future Perfect, this series is thought of as an ally, although they are actually enemies in the games.

[edit] Gretel

The Gretel series feature Gretel, Gretel Mk II, and Gretel (third generation). These are actually some of the good robots, and they are on the humans' side. Additionally, these appear to be the only "female" robots in the entire series.

[edit] PROMETHEUS

Main article: PROMETHEUS

The PROMETHEUS series are sort of basic battledroid-style robots. Like most robots, these are also against humanity. There are two PROMETHEUS models in the games, PROMETHEUS SD/7 and PROMETHEUS SK/8. They sort of resemble bulkier versions of the INSETICK series. The PROMETHEUS robots are only featured in TSFP. As with all Ultranet robots, "SD" is the standard edition, whereas "SK" has extra features.

[edit] INSETICK

Main article: INSETICK

INSETICK robots come in two models, INSETICK SD/10 and INSETICK SD/12. INSETICK models are skinnier than the R-100 and PROMETHEUS series. Some speculate that when looking at an INSETICK from the back, they resemble a Reaper Splitter. As with all Ultranet robots, "SD" is the standard edition, whereas "SK" has extra features.

[edit] GOLIATH

The GOLIATH series contain giant robots. It is fought as a boss in TimeSplitters Future Perfect level Something to Crow About. Goliath is the only Ultranet robot that has an "SD" edition but not an "SK" edition. This could be because the "SK" edition is the giant version, so could not be playable.

[edit] Med-Unit

The Med-Unit series are hovering robots created by Crow. There is only one type present in the TimeSplitters Series, Med-Unit 6, and appear in only Something to Crow About.

[edit] Machinist's Robots

The Machinist owns a Robot Factory, where he produces several types of robots, ChassisBots and SentryBots. Both of these are black with red vision cameras. The ChassisBots are skinny, and more like foot-soldiers. The SentryBots are large and bulky, more like tanks.

The Machinist creates other types of non humanoid robots. They are, though unofficially named, the Hoverbots, Robot Turrets and Motion Robot Turrets.

[edit] Robofish

Robofish is a small robot, presumably created by someone not related to the TimeSplitters series as he does not appear or get a mention in the main storyline, only appearing in Challenges.

[edit] R-107

Despite Robert One-Oh-Sevens's name and appearance, he is not a robot of the R-100 Series and shares no attributes with other robots. Instead he is a deranged human who thinks he is a robot living at the time of the Machine Wars and fighting on the Robot's side.

[edit] Special Abilities

All robots have special in-game abilities when character abilities are turned on. For one thing, most robots are immune to fire. Also most robots have high stamina, although other characters have this, too. Additionally, most robots are especially damaged by the ElectroTool.
