And Meditron emerged to hunt all those who would hunt him.
Meditron the Repair-Bot is a Cyber Tempest He was a retired medic who inhabited Infinity, but a pack of the Darkspore mutants hunted him down when he returned from an event. Repurposing his healing system as a weapon, he soon found himself joining the Crogenitor Insurgency to fight off the Darkspore invaders.
He shares his genesis type and class with SRS-42. Despite having three pairs of legs/feet, he could only equip the standard payload of one of each weapon, hand, foot, offense, defense and utility slots.
Revelation[]
He was seen fighting alongside Arakna and Sage when Darkspore's demo at GamesCom was first displayed, but his name, abilities, and backstory were not revealed until later on.
Lore[]
From Zelem's Nexus. An explorer, Meditron returned to his home enclave on Infinity to discover that the Darkspore had mutated every intelligent species into genetic slavery.
Horrified, Meditron escaped, warning every creature he'd previously encountered of the impending Darkspore Armageddon. But while fleeing through the canyons of Iktotom, Darkspore creatures shot him down, making Meditron crash inside a crevasse called Iktotom's Skull.
And there inside the Skull lay a discovery beyond reckoning.
Iktotom's Skull was an abandoned laboratory of what had obviously been a vast alien intelligence. The lab gleamed with indecipherable technology run by almost unfathomable science. Yet there were fragments Meditron could understand, including one word: "Crogenitor."
Meditron calculated a plan. Knowing that his pursuers were closing in on him, he redesigned and repurposed the nanobots he had once used for detection, healing, and perception-amplification. Accelerating nanobot production from millions to billions per minute, he lay in wait for those who planned to destroy him.
And when the Darkspore attacked, Meditron penetrated their central nervous system with nanobiotic beams that amplified their sensory perception, especially the sense of pain.
Those Darkspore experienced such agony that they ripped themselves apart.
And Meditron emerged to hunt all those who would hunt him.
