The Combots are big reconfigurable robotic units that are build from base parts called Bot Parts and are the mainly feature of the game. Each combot can be build from four bot parts:
- A Pair, different or equal of Arms (not necessary for deployment, but it's essential for combat);
- and a Crew unit for control the combot.
Each Corponation have its own technologies to develop and craft its parts. Also, new combot parts, unique for each corponation, can be unlocked by Research Facility and A.I. Facility.
