Proteus

ATP-002, also known as Proteus, was a synthetic biomechanical organism created by the Order Of Mata Nui.

History
Project Proteus (an acronym for Prototype Robotic Offensive Tactical Electronic Utility System) was a synthetic biomechanical organism that was reverse engineered from ATP-001 (designated Niha) by the robotics and engineering department of the OOMN. During the destructive war between the OOMN and the BOM, the two factions had began an arms race, with both sides working tirelessly to develop new, more lethal weapons to use against one another. Project Proteus was created as one of these weapons, intended to be the first of an army of expendable robotic soldiers to be deployed on the battlefield. However, due to strong concerns on the ethics of using these robots which had the capacity to think and learn like organic beings as cannon fodder and the long gestation period of the prototype, Project Proteus was quietly discontinued, leaving the prototype to continue to gestate in a vat of energized protodermis in one of the Order’s many storage warehouses. In the aftermath of the hostile takeover of the Order by the delusional cult leader Toa Lorien, the prototype was one of many secret projects of the Order to be seized by Lorien’s forces. The prototype in particular caught Lorien’s attention, and he visited the prototype in person. Lorien considered the prototype to be an affront to Mata Nui’s divine will, and attempted to have it destroyed. However, by the time Lorien had discovered it the creature had finished its gestation period, and upon awakening the prototype escaped from the warehouse. The prototype was declared a fugitive by Lorien and it was forced into hiding, disguising itself and adopting a number of false identities to evade capture by Lorien’s forces. It’s current whereabouts are unknown.
