YONBOTS

A typical YONBOT soldier

The YONBOTS are a hundred-strong army of Z-bots encountered by Yon in the Shattered Mirror Universe and reprogrammed to avenge him in the case of his death.

Design

With their capabilities, any one YONBOT soldier is a threat, let alone a hundred. The Z-bot models that make up the bulk of the YONBOT army are equipped with cold fusion-powered jets in their legs and torso, scanning equipment capable of scanning surfaces up to 5000 miles away, and a variety of old-fashioned weapons stolen from Peacock's ship. Their optical units can generate and fire intense laser blasts as well as see in the dark with perfect clarity. Each YONBOT also has two missile launchers, one mounted on each shoulder, capable of tracking and chasing down multiple targets. In addition, they can also transform into stationary turrets, with the option of being manned by allies.

However, the YONBOTS' programming is somewhat flawed. While they have been programmed to eliminate their targets with extreme prejudice, they are unable to fire upon any targets who appear to have only one eye. Yon added this command to prevent them from turning on him, other Terugans, or each other in combat. This served to hinder the YONBOTS during Boltman's battle with Double: because they could only see one of her eyes, they could not bring themselves to attack her until more of her eyes were revealed to them.

History

The Z-bots that would later become the YONBOTS were once part of a larger force that ruled the SMU's version of Earth. When the native humans rose up against them with the help of several other species, the Z-bots were deactivated and shot into space by the hundreds. When the Terugan named Yon drove through a plothole into the Shattered Mirror Universe, he stumbled upon a hundred-strong army of deactivated Z-bots floating through space. He brought them aboard his ship one at a time to reprogram them to suit his needs. At the time, Yon's only enemies were the Brotherhood of Makuta (who attacked his ship), Vok (for chasing him across the universe), and anime characters in general for trying to steal his stuff or start fights with him. Yon injected himself with a microchip that, in the case of his death, would transmit a signal that would activate the YONBOTS and cause them to go about eliminating their targets. After Yon escaped from the SM Ta'har, he went back to the part of space his YONBOTS were floating in, and brought them through a plothole back to the Original Universe. He found an abandoned warehouse to store them in shortly after, and went about his adventures alone.

Several weeks after his death on Meme World, the activation signal finally reached the YONBOTS in the warehouse, causing them to activate and burst out into space. They immediately encountered Boltman, who they discovered shared their goals, and allied themselves with him. The YONBOTS proceeded to destroy the Good Ship Sugarboat, and went with Boltman to scan Dekan for anime, where they assisted him in his battle with Double.
