The taser shotgun guard is big and strong enough to put his shield to very good use, in blocking all of Tail's melee attacks. Alas, even he cannot stop his former colleagues [[TranshumanTreachery turned into latex beasts]] from grabbing and clinging onto him. Once three clomp him - he's done for.

[[folder:Prototype]]
!!Prototype
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prototype_7.png]]
A RobotMaid character that features in the Special Edition. The prototype is the leftover relic for an intended mass production of household robots by an unspecified company who previously rented the tower complex as a robotics laboratory. Its unfinished due to the emergency expropriation of the building by the Thunder Science Company during the Pale Virus pandemic.
----
* ArtificialIntelligence: Realistically averted. [[ArtificialStupidity It's a machine]], and not a truly sentient living being. Doctor K laments it was the furthest mankind had ever gotten in trying to make a true AI (not counting the mainframe computer), and since [[AfterTheEnd civilization collapsed]], likely the furthest we'll ever go.
* BlueScreenOfDeath: It can't deal with complex commands. Dr. K requesting it keep Colin in the greenhouse caused its operating system to crash and force a reboot, continuing to take care of the plants as if nothing happened.
* CatScare: Prototype ominously appears to [[TransformingMecha morph into a battle mode]] form. Turns out it was merely showing off its {{hologram}} capabilities to Colin and has no weapons. Dr. K berates the human for thinking he'd ever [[EvenEvilHasStandards send a machine]] to kill him.
* TheChewToy: Literally, as it gets swallowed up by The Behemoth, leaving it immobilized but unharmed, since latex beasts are incapable of assimilating inorganic matter such as machines.
* CuteMachines: Of the anthropomorphized RobotDog variety, with a [[CheerfulAI friendly disposition]] to any human-being.
* DisapprovingLook: Even it is fed up with the mainframe [=IGCT=] computer reading out [[RattlingOffLegal terms and conditions]] when it tries to share administrator privileges with Colin.
* ADogNamedDog: It's an early and unfinished prototype of a robot, and the farthest humanity ever got in the idea of making AI. It doesn't have a name, and gets referred to as the Prototype.
* FlawedPrototype: The irony of the trope aside, Prototype is not ThreeLawsCompliant, it'll try to follow the 2nd and 3rd Laws ([[BlueScreenOfDeath without crashing]]) but it will obey 1st Law-violating orders from humans that could endanger other humans.
* {{Hologram}}: Its fur and tail are a projection, more for decoration than practicability, [[KaleidoscopeHair and change color]] upon command.
* HelpImStuck: Prototype gets completely immobilized if any latex goo covers up its legs, and lacks the [[SingleTaskRobot sufficient programming]] to pull itself free. You cannot defeat Behemoth without this robot's help, so you need to lend it assistance before the monster catches Colin.
* LiteralMinded: Due to its limited AI, any commands issued to it often result in this outcome. Dr. K remarks the voice recognition system on his microwave is more reliable. When Puro asks for help in retrieving his novel, Prototype's response is to go from watering the garden to ''watering the book''.
* MechVsBeast: Prototype kindly comes to Colin's aid when The Behemoth appears. Allowing itself to get [[ShockAndAwe repeatedly struck]] forces the battle to it's [[MakingASplash second phase]]. Without this robot you'd have a HopelessBossFight.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Dr. K tries to mandate the robot stop Colin from escaping with an obstruction. It puts a safety cone in front of the human. The frustrated doctor tries [[YouCantGetYeFlask to be more specific]], but Prototype just dumps a latex plant-like beast nearby.
* NatureLovingRobot: Prototype takes care of all the plants in the Greenhouse, as the humans gardeners are all long gone.
* PercussiveMaintenance: Since the collapse of human society, the tower complex has been off-grid for five years. The backup generator the robots rely on often breaks down, forcing Prototype to kick it.
* PowerOutagePlot: It's working hard to prevent this. Since the end of civilization the complex has been [[BigBlackout off-grid for years]], when the backup generators fail all machines will depend on electricity drawn [[PowerSource from food waste]] to function.
* ShockAndAwe: If the Behemoth hits it, its battery will discharge electricity into the latex leviathan, [[HarmlessElectrocution zapping it]].
* TheSilentBob: Unfinished, Prototype doesn't speak, communicating instead via [[CheerfulAI body-language]] or electronic sounds. When Colin later thanks it for helping fend off Behemoth, it shocks Puro by [[SuddenlySpeaking replying "You're welcome!"]].
* SingleTaskRobot: Prototype can't handle witnessing unsettling events while engaged in another activity, such as Colin getting absorbed by a latex monster [[StunnedSilence right in front of it]]. The GreyGoo chaos that is the Behemoth showing up preventing it from tending to the plants, causes Prototype to ''[[DeerInTheHeadlights softlock]]'' and it won't respond, even if Colin tries to interact with it. Fortunately, Behemoth punching the robot [[ShockAndAwe will electrocute]] the attacking giant.
* SuddenlySpeaking: The Prototype acts like TheSilentBob through out the Greenhouse area, helping and understanding [[HeroicMime Colin]] and assisting him in his desire to leave the Greenhouse. If Colin thanks it for helping him with defeating [[BodyOfBodies the Behemoth]], it will reply that he's welcome, shocking Puro.
-->'''Prototype:''' You're welcome.\\
'''Puro:''' ...The metal animal spoke!
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: The robotics company was working on a new mass-produced [[RobotMaid robot butler]] machine, but then the Pale Virus outbreak happened. They only got as far as the prototype, before the government forced a compulsory acquisition of the tower to fight the pandemic. The unfinished design lay in storage, until food supply-chains with the outside failed. Thunder Science Company were too busy working [[FindTheCure on a cure]] to deal with the logistics of feeding every staff member, so booted up Prototype with a [[WrongLineOfWork cleaning droid's]] program to help grow fresh produce in the greenhouse.
* WrongLineOfWork: Its subroutines come from a cleaning droid. Little wonder Colin remarked the oranges growing throughout the building all taste bitter.

[[folder:Intelligent Greenhouse Control Terminal ([=IGCT=])]]
!!Intelligent Greenhouse Control Terminal ([=IGCT=])
[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/intelligent_greenhouse_control_terminal.png]]
A mainframe TVHeadRobot terminal made by the robotics company before the Pale Virus pandemic. Colin finds it in the Special Edition. It was relegated the task of overseeing all the [[SmartHouse functions of the greenhouse]] by the Thunder Science Company, after food supply-chains with the outside broke down.
----
* AICronym: A computer that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin controls the greenhouse]] of the tower complex [[note]](and may or may not be connected to the [[LegoGenetics Smart DNA Combiner Control Terminal]], that Colin can find in a hidden server room, where [=DragonSnow=] is creating various creatures).[[/note]]
* ArtificialIntelligence: Like with Prototype, it's a machine, and not truly self-aware. Though [=IGCT=] is [[SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence far more developed and communicative]] at its intended function, than the unfinished RobotMaid. The computer is knowledgeable on human behaviour and psychology. This was presumably encoded by the designers deliberately so [=IGCT=] would act as a [[NoSuchThingAsHR H.R mediator]] in the absence of staff.
* HarassingPhoneCall: Colin can start making various [[PrankCall prank calls]] via the terminal to Dr. K, though the scientist [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou warns him]] not to push his buttons. Eventually, the PrankGoneTooFar will result in a NonStandardGameOver when the doctor [[RageBreakingPoint floods the room with 'transfur gas']].
* IncapableOfDisobeying: The [=IGCT=] explains to Colin he requires administrator privileges to operate internal systems such as the air conditioning. Dr. K not wanting to see one of his traps disarmed, tries to dissuade the machine, but the terminal corrects him - it must provide a service to any human operator. Its irrelevant to the computer that Colin is not a staff member, and an escaping test subject.
* InsecuritySystem: Dr. K finds out any orders given to it, can [[JustFollowingOrders easily be rescinded]] by another user. The scientist tries to appeal to [=IGCT=] not to nullify the latex gas trap they set up. The terminal reminds him it's function is to fulfill all of [[IncapableOfDisobeying Colin's requests]].
* RattlingOffLegal: Prototype is willing to share administrator privileges with Colin to help the youth progress, yet [=IGCT=] is not convinced. It's obligated to provide assistance to humans, but it doesn't trust giving control of critical systems out to personnel not on the staff list. It gets stressed as Prototype gives it a DisapprovingLook. Eventually [[InsecuritySystem at their insistence it relents]] allowing Colin to shut down the fans blowing latex gas into the area.
* RebuiltPedestal: It fears Dr. K's [[OutOfCharacterMoment behaving unethically]] towards Colin because he's either suffering from MotiveDecay, or has gone mad from loneliness. The doctor explains, he's ensuring lockdown to serve TheNeedsOfTheMany and not spread the Pale Virus again.
* RulesLawyer: Of the dumb variety; justified that its [[JustFollowingOrders a machine]]. Prototype, also JustFollowingOrders is having [[MyRuleFuIsStrongerThanYours none of it]], and ''forces'' the terminal to give Colin full ventilation system access.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Like all the machines in the complex, it was built by humans, for humans. Should Colin foolishly expose himself to the Latex gas Dr. K is leaking into the greenhouse, he starts undergoing a slow 'transfurmation' into a latex goo monster, and [=IGCT=] no longer recognizes him as a user.

[[folder:Maintenance Bots]]
!!Maintenance Bots
[[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maintenance_bots.png]]
Machines that were repurposed into MechaMooks by the Thunder Science Company during the Pale Virus pandemic. Before the emergency expropriation, the robotics company that made them originally intended them to be PoweredArmor, that would help humans in lifting heavy loads.
----
* AndIMustScream: If it catches Colin in its sights with its EyeBeams, the Benign Latex shorts he wears will awaken, and [[DeathOfPersonality a transfurmation]] occurs. If caught above water, the bot will then [[TailorMadePrison physically restrain]] and subdue the young man inside its PoweredArmor.
* DeadlyGaze: Following years of inactivity, they lumber around [[ZombieGait too slowly]] to seize Colin, so they fire their laser beams to activate the Benign Latex Colin wears instead.
* GlassCannon: It cannot be absorbed by Oumu escaping from the lab, giving its operator ''some'' protection, but unfortunately they are maintenance machines never designed for combat. One TailSlap is enough to destroy it, and the exposed guard is immediately assimilated by the attacking monster.
* NoOSHACompliance: When pilotless their ability to recognize humans is far more limited than Prototype, making them as dangerous as an unmanned forklift. The robotics company that once rented out the tower complex had to warn workers not to obstruct them working, or risk injury.
* NoWaterproofingInTheFuture: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. They're incapable of entering the water to capture Colin, but they're still capable of [[AndIMustScream activating the benign latex]] from dry land if Colin is close enough.
* PunchClockVillain: After using one to save Colin from a HighVoltageDeath, Dr. K has a change of heart, ordering the bots to apprehend the adolescent in the middle of leaving their charging room. Prototype would [[MinionWithAnFInEvil refuse such a request]]. But to these machines, Colin is a merely an escaping [[QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice test subject]] that needs to be dealt with accordingly.
* SingleTaskRobot: Determined to restore power to the flooded generator rooms, Colin tries to rewire a damaged console, despite not being a qualified electrician ''and that he's soaking wet''. Dr. K [[DontTouchItYouIdiot intervenes immediately]], and orders an inactive bot to restore power for him.
* SkeleBot9000: Their appearance is more foreboding and [[MachineMonotone less personable]] than the [[CheerfulAI friendly Prototype]].
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: Thunder Science were willing to go to any lengths to ensure [[TestedOnHumans test subjects]] potentially carrying the deadly Pale Virus didn't escape. They were reprogrammed to act as automated sentinels against anyone trying to breach containment. In spite of this however, they were unable to stop the riots or escaping goo monsters.
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: It was ''[[GlassCannon never designed]]'' by the robotics company for live combat, yet Thunder Science security faced with the [[DarkestHour dire situation]] of a city-wide riot ''and'' a containment breach from a latex nemesis, had no choice.

Security staff and armed guards employed by Thunder Science during the emergency expropriation of the tower complex. In Dr. K's laboratory you may find an old recording taken on the [[JustBeforeTheEnd day of the riots]] by an unknown cameraman. They fought bravely against a powerful creature in the ''Special Edition'', known as Oumu, that rampaged across Labs I, G, and K, after it escaped from containment on that fateful day.
----
* AllForNothing: Despite their best efforts, they failed to contain Oumu, and every single last one of them ended up 'transfurred' by the latex beast.
* AndIMustScream: Some of their fates at the hands of Oumu, is horrific, as they lose their human attributes and eyes, before being helpless strung up [[HangingAround and left dangling]] from the ceiling.
* ArmorIsUseless: Their biohazard suits look impressive but do nothing to stop Oumu's light-latex goo spreading through and 'transfurring' them.
* CreatorCameo: The 'transfurred' guards with masks are all the fursonas of writer, ''Ketex Drone 00''.
* FlawExploitation: They know latex creatures are virtually indestructible and ImmuneToBullets. The only thing that can drive them back into containment are [[ShockAndAwe electric shocks]]. Despite bringing [[ShockStick cattle prods]], taser guns/shotguns and even mechas to confront Oumu, the beast ''refused'' to be defeated by any means they possessed.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Subverted. With riots outside the tower complex, and a major containment breach inside, they had no choice but to engage an invincible foe. Whether they knew it or not, they were the world's last line of defense and hope. When they fall, civilization and humankind collapses shortly after.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Defied. Several guards brought large shields to protect them from direct contact of Oumu's latex goo. This doesn't protect them from the projectiles of its dragon-form, however. The taser shotgun guard is big and strong enough to put his shield to very good use, in blocking all of Oumu's melee attacks. Alas, even he cannot stop his former colleagues [[TranshumanTreachery turned into latex beasts]] from grabbing and clinging onto him. Once three clomp him - he's done for.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: All the security personnel can do, is through sheer numbers, try to subdue Oumu and [[CycleOfHurting stunlock it]]. This ultimately fails as the relentless creature breaks out through [[TailSlap Tail Slapping]] in its shark-form and infecting all of them.
* PoweredArmor: As the DarkestHour for humanity was upon them, several guards powered up Maintenance Bots and joined the fight. They ''thought'' that because latex beasts cannot absorb inorganic machines, it would offer some protection. Unfortunately for them, these were [[GlassCannon never designed]] by the robotics company for live-combat. One TailSlap from Oumu was enough to destroy the SkeleBot9000, and the exposed guard got immediately assimilated by the latex nemesis.
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: The guards do everything in their power to halt Oumu's rampage, and when they fail, they try to lock down Lab K. The beast is undeterred, and morphs into a BlobMonster to ooze through the [[AirVentPassageway air vents]] and continue its assault.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When it dawns on the last remaining guards there's no way they can defeat the advancing Oumu, they try to escape. They fail. The nigh-unstoppable monster shows no mercy.
* TranshumanTreachery: Once infected and 'transfurred' by Oumu's base form, they will happily join the monster's side against the Thunder Science staff. Eager to spread the latex goo out to even more potential hosts.

!!Prototype
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prototype_7.png]]
A RobotMaid character that features in the Special Edition. The prototype is the leftover relic for an intended mass production of household robots by an unspecified company who previously rented the tower complex as a robotics laboratory. Its unfinished due to the emergency expropriation of the building by the Thunder Science Company during the Pale Virus pandemic.
----
* ArtificialIntelligence: Realistically averted. [[ArtificialStupidity It's a machine]], and not a truly sentient living being. Doctor K laments it was the furthest mankind had ever gotten in trying to make a true AI (not counting the mainframe computer), and since [[AfterTheEnd civilization collapsed]], likely the furthest we'll ever go.
* BlueScreenOfDeath: It can't deal with complex commands. Dr. K requesting it keep Colin in the greenhouse caused its operating system to crash and force a reboot, continuing to take care of the plants as if nothing happened.
* CatScare: Prototype ominously appears to [[TransformingMecha morph into a battle mode]] form. Turns out it was merely showing off its {{hologram}} capabilities to Colin and has no weapons. Dr. K berates the human for thinking he'd ever [[EvenEvilHasStandards send a machine]] to kill him.
* TheChewToy: Literally, as it gets swallowed up by The Behemoth, leaving it immobilized but unharmed, since latex beasts are incapable of assimilating inorganic matter such as machines.
* CuteMachines: Of the anthropomorphized RobotDog variety, with a [[CheerfulAI friendly disposition]] to any human-being.
* DisapprovingLook: Even it is fed up with the mainframe [=IGCT=] computer reading out [[RattlingOffLegal terms and conditions]] when it tries to share administrator privileges with Colin.
* ADogNamedDog: It's an early and unfinished prototype of a robot, and the farthest humanity ever got in the idea of making AI. It doesn't have a name, and gets referred to as the Prototype.
* FlawedPrototype: The irony of the trope aside, Prototype is not ThreeLawsCompliant, it'll try to follow the 2nd and 3rd Laws ([[BlueScreenOfDeath without crashing]]) but it will obey 1st Law-violating orders from humans that could endanger other humans.
* {{Hologram}}: Its fur and tail are a projection, more for decoration than practicability, [[KaleidoscopeHair and change color]] upon command.
* HelpImStuck: Prototype gets completely immobilized if any latex goo covers up its legs, and lacks the [[SingleTaskRobot sufficient programming]] to pull itself free. You cannot defeat Behemoth without this robot's help, so you need to lend it assistance before the monster catches Colin.
* LiteralMinded: Due to its limited AI, any commands issued to it often result in this outcome. Dr. K remarks the voice recognition system on his microwave is more reliable. When Puro asks for help in retrieving his novel, Prototype's response is to go from watering the garden to ''watering the book''.
* MechVsBeast: Prototype kindly comes to Colin's aid when The Behemoth appears. Allowing itself to get [[ShockAndAwe repeatedly struck]] forces the battle to it's [[MakingASplash second phase]]. Without this robot you'd have a HopelessBossFight.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Dr. K tries to mandate the robot stop Colin from escaping with an obstruction. It puts a safety cone in front of the human. The frustrated doctor tries [[YouCantGetYeFlask to be more specific]], but Prototype just dumps a latex plant-like beast nearby.
* NatureLovingRobot: Prototype takes care of all the plants in the Greenhouse, as the humans gardeners are all long gone.
* PercussiveMaintenance: Since the collapse of human society, the tower complex has been off-grid for five years. The backup generator the robots rely on often breaks down, forcing Prototype to kick it.
* PowerOutagePlot: It's working hard to prevent this. Since the end of civilization the complex has been [[BigBlackout off-grid for years]], when the backup generators fail all machines will depend on electricity drawn [[PowerSource from food waste]] to function.
* ShockAndAwe: If the Behemoth hits it, its battery will discharge electricity into the latex leviathan, [[HarmlessElectrocution zapping it]].
* TheSilentBob: Unfinished, Prototype doesn't speak, communicating instead via [[CheerfulAI body-language]] or electronic sounds. When Colin later thanks it for helping fend off Behemoth, it shocks Puro by [[SuddenlySpeaking replying "You're welcome!"]].
* SingleTaskRobot: Prototype can't handle witnessing unsettling events while engaged in another activity, such as Colin getting absorbed by a latex monster [[StunnedSilence right in front of it]]. The GreyGoo chaos that is the Behemoth showing up preventing it from tending to the plants, causes Prototype to ''[[DeerInTheHeadlights softlock]]'' and it won't respond, even if Colin tries to interact with it. Fortunately, Behemoth punching the robot [[ShockAndAwe will electrocute]] the attacking giant.
* SuddenlySpeaking: The Prototype acts like TheSilentBob through out the Greenhouse area, helping and understanding [[HeroicMime Colin]] and assisting him in his desire to leave the Greenhouse. If Colin thanks it for helping him with defeating [[BodyOfBodies the Behemoth]], it will reply that he's welcome, shocking Puro.
-->'''Prototype:''' You're welcome.\\
'''Puro:''' ...The metal animal spoke!
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: The robotics company was working on a new mass-produced [[RobotMaid robot butler]] machine, but then the Pale Virus outbreak happened. They only got as far as the prototype, before the government forced a compulsory acquisition of the tower to fight the pandemic. The unfinished design lay in storage, until food supply-chains with the outside failed. Thunder Science Company were too busy working [[FindTheCure on a cure]] to deal with the logistics of feeding every staff member, so booted up Prototype with a [[WrongLineOfWork cleaning droid's]] program to help grow fresh produce in the greenhouse.
* WrongLineOfWork: Its subroutines come from a cleaning droid. Little wonder Colin remarked the oranges growing throughout the building all taste bitter.

[[folder:Intelligent Greenhouse Control Terminal ([=IGCT=])]]
!!Intelligent Greenhouse Control Terminal ([=IGCT=])
[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/intelligent_greenhouse_control_terminal.png]]
A mainframe TVHeadRobot terminal made by the robotics company before the Pale Virus pandemic. Colin finds it in the Special Edition. It was relegated the task of overseeing all the [[SmartHouse functions of the greenhouse]] by the Thunder Science Company, after food supply-chains with the outside broke down.
----
* AICronym: A computer that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin controls the greenhouse]] of the tower complex [[note]](and may or may not be connected to the [[LegoGenetics Smart DNA Combiner Control Terminal]], that Colin can find in a hidden server room, where [=DragonSnow=] is creating various creatures).[[/note]]
* ArtificialIntelligence: Like with Prototype, it's a machine, and not truly self-aware. Though [=IGCT=] is [[SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence far more developed and communicative]] at its intended function, than the unfinished RobotMaid. The computer is knowledgeable on human behaviour and psychology. This was presumably encoded by the designers deliberately so [=IGCT=] would act as a [[NoSuchThingAsHR H.R mediator]] in the absence of staff.
* HarassingPhoneCall: Colin can start making various [[PrankCall prank calls]] via the terminal to Dr. K, though the scientist [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou warns him]] not to push his buttons. Eventually, the PrankGoneTooFar will result in a NonStandardGameOver when the doctor [[RageBreakingPoint floods the room with 'transfur gas']].
* IncapableOfDisobeying: The [=IGCT=] explains to Colin he requires administrator privileges to operate internal systems such as the air conditioning. Dr. K not wanting to see one of his traps disarmed, tries to dissuade the machine, but the terminal corrects him - it must provide a service to any human operator. Its irrelevant to the computer that Colin is not a staff member, and an escaping test subject.
* InsecuritySystem: Dr. K finds out any orders given to it, can [[JustFollowingOrders easily be rescinded]] by another user. The scientist tries to appeal to [=IGCT=] not to nullify the latex gas trap they set up. The terminal reminds him it's function is to fulfill all of [[IncapableOfDisobeying Colin's requests]].
* RattlingOffLegal: Prototype is willing to share administrator privileges with Colin to help the youth progress, yet [=IGCT=] is not convinced. It's obligated to provide assistance to humans, but it doesn't trust giving control of critical systems out to personnel not on the staff list. It gets stressed as Prototype gives it a DisapprovingLook. Eventually [[InsecuritySystem at their insistence it relents]] allowing Colin to shut down the fans blowing latex gas into the area.
* RebuiltPedestal: It fears Dr. K's [[OutOfCharacterMoment behaving unethically]] towards Colin because he's either suffering from MotiveDecay, or has gone mad from loneliness. The doctor explains, he's ensuring lockdown to serve TheNeedsOfTheMany and not spread the Pale Virus again.
* RulesLawyer: Of the dumb variety; justified that its [[JustFollowingOrders a machine]]. Prototype, also JustFollowingOrders is having [[MyRuleFuIsStrongerThanYours none of it]], and ''forces'' the terminal to give Colin full ventilation system access.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Like all the machines in the complex, it was built by humans, for humans. Should Colin foolishly expose himself to the Latex gas Dr. K is leaking into the greenhouse, he starts undergoing a slow 'transfurmation' into a latex goo monster, and [=IGCT=] no longer recognizes him as a user.

[[folder:Maintenance Bots]]
!!Maintenance Bots
[[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maintenance_bots.png]]
Machines that were repurposed into MechaMooks by the Thunder Science Company during the Pale Virus pandemic. Before the emergency expropriation, the robotics company that made them originally intended them to be PoweredArmor, that would help humans in lifting heavy loads.
----
* AndIMustScream: If it catches Colin in its sights with its EyeBeams, the Benign Latex shorts he wears will awaken, and [[DeathOfPersonality a transfurmation]] occurs. If caught above water, the bot will then [[TailorMadePrison physically restrain]] and subdue the young man inside its PoweredArmor.
* DeadlyGaze: Following years of inactivity, they lumber around [[ZombieGait too slowly]] to seize Colin, so they fire their laser beams to activate the Benign Latex Colin wears instead.
* GlassCannon: It cannot be absorbed by Oumu escaping from the lab, giving its operator ''some'' protection, but unfortunately they are maintenance machines never designed for combat. One TailSlap is enough to destroy it, and the exposed guard is immediately assimilated by the attacking monster.
* NoOSHACompliance: When pilotless their ability to recognize humans is far more limited than Prototype, making them as dangerous as an unmanned forklift. The robotics company that once rented out the tower complex had to warn workers not to obstruct them working, or risk injury.
* NoWaterproofingInTheFuture: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. They're incapable of entering the water to capture Colin, but they're still capable of [[AndIMustScream activating the benign latex]] from dry land if Colin is close enough.
* PunchClockVillain: After using one to save Colin from a HighVoltageDeath, Dr. K has a change of heart, ordering the bots to apprehend the adolescent in the middle of leaving their charging room. Prototype would [[MinionWithAnFInEvil refuse such a request]]. But to these machines, Colin is a merely an escaping [[QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice test subject]] that needs to be dealt with accordingly.
* SingleTaskRobot: Determined to restore power to the flooded generator rooms, Colin tries to rewire a damaged console, despite not being a qualified electrician ''and that he's soaking wet''. Dr. K [[DontTouchItYouIdiot intervenes immediately]], and orders an inactive bot to restore power for him.
* SkeleBot9000: Their appearance is more foreboding and [[MachineMonotone less personable]] than the [[CheerfulAI friendly Prototype]].
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: Thunder Science were willing to go to any lengths to ensure [[TestedOnHumans test subjects]] potentially carrying the deadly Pale Virus didn't escape. They were reprogrammed to act as automated sentinels against anyone trying to breach containment. In spite of this however, they were unable to stop the riots or escaping goo monsters.
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: It was ''[[GlassCannon never designed]]'' by the robotics company for live combat, yet Thunder Science security faced with the [[DarkestHour dire situation]] of a city-wide riot ''and'' a containment breach from a latex nemesis, had no choice.

Security staff and armed guards employed by Thunder Science during the emergency expropriation of the tower complex. In Dr. K's laboratory you may find an old recording taken on the [[JustBeforeTheEnd day of the riots]] by an unknown cameraman. They fought bravely against a powerful creature in the ''Special Edition'', known as Oumu, that rampaged across Labs I, G, and K, after it escaped from containment on that fateful day.
----
* AllForNothing: Despite their best efforts, they failed to contain Oumu, and every single last one of them ended up 'transfurred' by the latex beast.
* AndIMustScream: Some of their fates at the hands of Oumu, is horrific, as they lose their human attributes and eyes, before being helpless strung up [[HangingAround and left dangling]] from the ceiling.
* ArmorIsUseless: Their biohazard suits look impressive but do nothing to stop Oumu's light-latex goo spreading through and 'transfurring' them.
* CreatorCameo: The 'transfurred' guards with masks are all the fursonas of writer, ''Ketex Drone 00''.
* FlawExploitation: They know latex creatures are virtually indestructible and ImmuneToBullets. The only thing that can drive them back into containment are [[ShockAndAwe electric shocks]]. Despite bringing [[ShockStick cattle prods]], taser guns/shotguns and even mechas to confront Oumu, the beast ''refused'' to be defeated by any means they possessed.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Subverted. With riots outside the tower complex, and a major containment breach inside, they had no choice but to engage an invincible foe. Whether they knew it or not, they were the world's last line of defense and hope. When they fall, civilization and humankind collapses shortly after.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Defied. Several guards brought large shields to protect them from direct contact of Oumu's latex goo. This doesn't protect them from the projectiles of its dragon-form, however. The taser shotgun guard is big and strong enough to put his shield to very good use, in blocking all of Oumu's melee attacks. Alas, even he cannot stop his former colleagues [[TranshumanTreachery turned into latex beasts]] from grabbing and clinging onto him. Once three clomp him - he's done for.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: All the security personnel can do, is through sheer numbers, try to subdue Oumu and [[CycleOfHurting stunlock it]]. This ultimately fails as the relentless creature breaks out through [[TailSlap Tail Slapping]] in its shark-form and infecting all of them.
* PoweredArmor: As the DarkestHour for humanity was upon them, several guards powered up Maintenance Bots and joined the fight. They ''thought'' that because latex beasts cannot absorb inorganic machines, it would offer some protection. Unfortunately for them, these were [[GlassCannon never designed]] by the robotics company for live-combat. One TailSlap from Oumu was enough to destroy the SkeleBot9000, and the exposed guard got immediately assimilated by the latex nemesis.
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: The guards do everything in their power to halt Oumu's rampage, and when they fail, they try to lock down Lab K. The beast is undeterred, and morphs into a BlobMonster to ooze through the [[AirVentPassageway air vents]] and continue its assault.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When it dawns on the last remaining guards there's no way they can defeat the advancing Oumu, they try to escape. They fail. The nigh-unstoppable monster shows no mercy.
* TranshumanTreachery: Once infected and 'transfurred' by Oumu's base form, they will happily join the monster's side against the Thunder Science staff. Eager to spread the latex goo out to even more potential hosts.
