* {{Magitek}}: Thanks to her fascination with Eldrid magic, she developed tech that utilizes magic-like capabilities.

** MX.Elite Bots are basically the large fat versions of the regular M1 line of minions. They're even referred to as giant minions by Nova in the PvP modes.

** M3.Shepherds in PvP modes resemble the MX.Raptors in the PvE missions but function completely differently. The former focus more on being straight forward supports capable of buffing every nearby ally unit with an overshield at regular intervals as they move, while the later are airborne enemies that act by themselves. The M3.Shepherds outside of PvP modes though are capable of providing overshield buffs to fellow enemies as well as being individual threats.

* {{Retraux}}: WordOfGod states he's inspired by old school console heroes. He's basically a 8-bit character realized as a full 3D model. Everything about him from aesthetics to audio is based on that idea.

** WordOfGod states he's inspired by old school console heroes such as Franchise/MegaMan especially in design. In fact, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBxmVZbNF7c an interview with Randy Varnell about Nova]] addressing a certain topic related to both characters, Randy states that Kid Ultra is heavily inspired from ''Mega Man''.

* ArmCannon: His primary attack are Wrist Cannons that fire off laser blasts.

* GadgeteerGenius: Phoebe is a genius inventor who has created a variety of fantastical tech, a number of which have been inspired by Eldrid tech that seem almost [[MagicFromTechnology magical in nature]]. Among her inventions include phasegate tech which allows her to teleport around the battlefield; her high tech and fashionable BattleBallgown which aids her when fighting; and a cybernetic implant which allows her to telekinetically control four of her five rapiers. She's also a skilled roboticist, having been the brains behind Kid Ultra's original design and purpose.

* GirlyBruiser: She's a very feminine and proper lady in a fancy dress that also happens to be a sword wielding ActionGirl.

* SwordStorm: Blade Rush lets her shoot out four of her swords forward while Blade Cascade lets her rain swords down on a specific area.

The Magna Carta is a trade-specialist artificial intelligence that ran the LLC for many years. It officiated all of the trade compacts and agreements for the faction. To join the LLC required an established permanent link to the Magna Carta who administrated the position within the organization. It is also the governing A.I. that once kept all the Magnuses in check. From Magnus ships such as Nova to company operation overseeing Magnuses like ISIC, it kept their programs running in top working condition and prevented them from going berserk via working as a limiter, a kind of buffer that prevented them from pursuing infinite potential infinitely. The Magna Carta was thus a vital cornerstone of the LLC which is why everything went wrong when it for some reason disappeared in a event called "The Great Severance".

She's a very feminine and proper lady benefiting a rich heiress however she's also an inventor and adventurer, creating fantastical tech and spelunking in ancient ruins. She can sometimes be a bit too into battle when fighting and has a thing for flying death machines. Furthermore, for a character that would be perceived as very dainty, her [[InfinityMinusOneSword Legendary Challenge Gear]] is a pair of sneakers.

* SpiritedYoungLady: A very prim and proper lady who happens to be also a very spirited badass on the battlefield.

* {{Emoticon}}: He has emoticons in the names of his various skins and augments. His Energy Aegis also projects an emoticon on it when activated. He's basically somewhat similar to Zer0 from ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' in his use of emoticons.

* ShoutOut: A number of Battleborn characters will get ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' inspired skins in [[https://mentalmars.com/game-news/new-battleborn-patch-includes-borderlands-skins/ an upcoming patch]]. For El Dragón, his Bicicleta de Carne skin turns him into a Psycho albeit a very large one. Incidentally, this Psycho inspired skin gives El Dragón actual arms as opposed to robot ones.

* ShoutOut: A number of Battleborn characters will get ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' inspired skins in [[https://mentalmars.com/game-news/new-battleborn-patch-includes-borderlands-skins/ an upcoming patch]].

MINREC is a Magnus in charge of running LLC recycling facilities and the main focus of the Meltdown multiplayer mode. He is a crazed Magnus who believes himself to be something akin to a volcano god of sorts and is feared as such. In Meltdown, he's the main incentive of the entire mode as the objective is to sacrifice more Minions to him than the opposing team else he'll incur his wrath.

* ScienceHero: Kleese is an InsufferableGenius MadScientist type of character who aids his fellow Battleborn both off and on the field. He is brilliant physicist and tech expert. When it comes to quantum physic related problems and the sort, such as the universal law breaking capabilities of the Varelsi, he is the man his comrades turn to regardless of their feelings towards him. Being the former CTO of Minion Robotics, Kleese is an expert on Magnuses and their programming. His skills as such include knowing the effects of Varelsi portals have on Magnus A.I. and reprogramming rouge Magnuses to aid the Battleborn. On the battlefield, Kleese rides upon his hovering [[CoolChair Battle Throne]] which is capable of firing a Shock Taser as well firing a barrage of energy mortars. He also uses a laser firing Wrist Cannon as well as deploy tech that can open up Energy Rifts that support allies' shields and tech that can summon miniature Black Holes against opponents.

* {{Seppuku}}: Performed by [[spoiler: Heikegani]] in Oscar Mike's DLC Story Operation. [[spoiler: When [[the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WwkAFg1l0Y the Sentry's health hits zero]]]], it will shove its own swords into its body to commit suicide.

* TheBusCameBack: In Oscar Mike's DLC Story Operation, [[spoiler: both Geoff and Wolf come back as bosses]] despite seemingly been destroyed in the main story. In an operation playthrough, [[spoiler: either Geoff now more identified as Arachnis, or Wolf now called Dire Wolf]] is faced off against as the final boss for the session.

* FreudianExcuse: His very existence lies solely on the reaction of [[ForWantOfANail neglect that Phoebe's receiving from her father]], and a notch of her deep fascination to flying death machines. Thus, a product line of Kid Ultra units come after her line of work as an engineer.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Before Kid Ultra came to be, Phoebe is arguably the most comfortably approachable LLC compared to her cynical, AxCrazy counterparts.

* OnlySaneMan: He's this, or rather the least insane one, among robots who have all gone crazy. Kid Ultra, like the rest of his fellow LLC Magnuses, got their connection to the Magna Carta severed due to some unforeseen disruptions in the universe. However, while the others may have gone all-out crazy as a result, such as the case with ISIC, Kid Ultra seems to have made it out with just a rather skewed perception of the real world.

* AmbiguouslyGay: It wasn't brought up in commonplace but Kleese did mention about making a fanfic dedicated to Rath, up until he realized Rath is not a vampire. He also gets disappointed when an LLC member Captain Ghalt was hiring turns out to be female (Phoebe).
