Biography
The Baterra were created, by the Great Beings, as an early form of the Bohrok. They were used to fight in the Core War. When it was over, they ended up in the north and forced the Skrall to migrate south. During this event, a Skrall, later named Stronius, managed to destroy a Baterra and learned that they were mechanical. A Baterra recently confronted a unit of Skrall, while on a Vorox Hunt, and killed all the Skrall, save one. This was to be a warning to the Skrall that they controlled the Skrall's fate. A long time ago, A squad of Baterra attacked Metus and his ice Agori soldiers on their way to an ice outpost. Metus lost his weapons under the cart and the Baterra walked away and left him alone. Metus realized Baterra were only programmed to attack warriors, and to them, "warrior" meant anyone who possessed a weapon. Metus told the Skrall this to gain a position of power within the Skrall army. Tuma is leading a group of warriors to war with the Baterra. They attacked Tuma's squad. Only the Baterra commander survived, and realized they were challenging the Baterra. The squad commander told the Baterra army's leader and creator, Angonce, that the Skrall planned to attack them. Angonce sent Baterra squads to slow them down while he prepared for their arrival. Tuma's squad infiltrated their hive, there was a massive battle, and Tuma and the other five warriors accompanying him were taken prisoner once, the skrall escaped, and sealed the Baterra in. The Baterra escape and plot revenge in Triumphant Return (coming soon), and fullfill their destiny to wipe out the Skrall in Mission: Destroy All Skrall (coming soon). For further explanation of the Baterra's history, programming and place of creation, read Baterra1202's guide to the Baterra: Robotic Rebellion (coming soon). A squad of Baterra got stranded on Bota Magna because they were chasing Speewaa. They saw her carrying weapons to defend herself, and attacked her. When she fled to Bota Magna through a dimensional portal, they followed. The Baterra were quickly attacked by the cannibalistic Torshurrrs, earning themselves a new enemy.

They also have built in artillery, including a row of flamethrower missiles which look like rockets but explode into flame.

They also have two shoulder-mounted cannons which resemble zamor launchers.

They can spew poison gas, and have a powerful fan to blow enemies away. They also have smoke missiles, which provide a smoke screen along with a small explosion.

Baterra are 14 feet high with the beforementioned blades and blasters.

Their armor is silver, and they have thrusters built into their feet. Mini-thrusters are on their back to control flight, and they have a deployable third leg for stability when firing cannons.

Programming
The programming of the Baterra is to wipe out all armed combatants left over from the Core War. However, they do not have very good judgement on who used to be a soldier or not, meaning they'll basically attack any and every armed life form they see. They consider built in weapons like claws weapons, so they'll attack things like Vorox or Skopios. Not many creatures or beings can stop a Baterra. They would easily shred (literally!!) creatures like a Vorox or a Sand Bat, and could take larger creatures like Rock Dragons or Sun Serpents. Even collossal monsters like a Skopio wouldn't stand a chance, but a herd could defeat a Baterra. Skrall or Glatorian fall easily, but a large group might have a chance of surviving. Baterra ignore small creatures like Scarabax. They will ignore unarmed Skrall, Glatorian, Agori, Bone Hunters, and other beings. So to avoid a Baterra, drop your weapons. If you are a clawed creature, forget it, because you are doomed.
