CrowBot

“At 7 tons and 20 feet tall, these CrowBots are certainly big soldiers. I’m sure glad they’re on our side.”

- Reporter Dirk Moon

“The new models of CrowBot soldiers were crafted entirely for us to win our war with CREATU. This battle has raged for too long. With these super-soldiers, victory is in our grasp!”

- General Tratz

CrowBots (Mark 8) are huge, mechanical soldiers, provided by the AUTHORITY, for the defense and protection of the MONSTU peoples.

Previous models, all of which have been scrapped, were less than 1/3 the size of the Mark 8. We will no longer discuss any models prior to the Mark 8. The Mark 8 is the first CrowBot model, and the only one that has ever existed.

CrowBots are constructed with a powerful ironite carapace exoskeleton, impervious to darts, arrows, stones, and lions. They have a number of classified armaments to defeat the CREATU hordes. New weapons and tools are constantly being developed by the geniuses at the Department of Thought.

While CrowBots cannot fly, they do travel above the lands of MONSTRU on zeppelin air tanks. These tanks are filled with super-compressed Flexion gasses, providing ample lift.
