ADBK: Labyrinth Tank

Epithet: The Labyrinth Master

Voice Actor: Dee Bradley Baker

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: Out in the Wasteland of Empty Thoughts, there's a special area that is incredibly hard to navigate, and even harder to escape. This is the Labyrinth of Treachery, a place full of magical energy that can bring about all manner of horrors, dangers and dead ends. Only a select few monsters live here, as they're the hardy few that can survive the maze.

Among these residents is a powerful vehicle capable of plowing through almost any material, Labyrinth Tank! This big blue battle-bot was built with sophisticated navigational systems, as well as enough fast-spinning drills to fill a crate of dentistry supplies! His futuristic lasers and high-octane engine make him a formidable opponent in the maze's many twists and turns!

He was designed to hold this particular stretch of territory on behalf of the Machinations, along with Cannon Soldier, and a small army of Dharma Cannons.

However, they're not alone in the Labyrinth. Several other factions battle them for maze supremacy; the Undead Hordes have Shadow Ghoul (and by proxy Wall Shadow), the Kindred have a golem of their own known as Barrel Rock, as well as Catapult Turtle, and the Arthropod Empire sent the vile Dungeon Worm to give the Machines a rough time.

ADBK: Cyber Soldier of the Darkworld

Epithet: The Void's Invader

Voice Actor: David Kaye

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: After Slot Machine proved a successful prototype for tanky giants, Perfect Machine King set about work on an ambitious project: To invade the "Darkworld" that lay beneath the Mountain of Madness. Though nowadays, it's referred to as the land of the Undead Oligarchy.

At the time, Summoned Skull was still the head honcho, and this Cyber Soldier would soon become part of that crowd, and then promptly decimate it!

Or at least, that was the plan. By the time the first successful prototype was tested on some invading Undead Hordes, the giant robot was sent to Undead throne room…only to be destroyed by an upstart named Dark Master Zorc.

Specifically, Zorc sent King of Yamimakai, Neck Hunter and even the trickster Needle Ball to ironically decimate this Cyber Soldier in turn.

To avoid confusion, this soon-repaired giant was nicknamed Pluto (make your jokes here, we know most can't resist), after the Roman ruler of the Underworld. Now modified to better prepare for the Oligarchy's minions, Pluto has since been accompanied by fellow giant Cyber Stein, as well as the strange Plasma Eel.

ADBK: Gatling Dragon

Epithet: The Multi-Barrelled Juggernaut

Voice Actor: Kevin Michael Richardson

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: With Barrel Dragon proving to be successful proof of concept regarding dragonoid weaponry, it was only a matter of time before the Perfect Machine King created something with just as many destructive capabilities, but also kind of ridiculous.

Enter the mighty Gatling Dragon, arguably one of the Machinations' most dangerous weapon next to the King himself. He's also with a rather unstable AI, so he's primarily used during special occasions, especially in raids against the more benign Tribes, especially the fairly neutral Deep Valley natives.

His three barrels are about 230 kilograms each, supported by a frame capable of handling up to 40 tons of pressure, including his vast storage of custom cartridges. Gatling Dragon's normal power level can penetrate solid lead, with only certain metals being able to bounce back his shredding bullets.

However, Gatling can sometimes go out of control, leaving the other Generals with little choice but to restrain him so he doesn't destroy them as well.

ADBK: KA-2 Des Scissors

Epithet: The Precise Snip-Pincher

Voice Actor: Oscar Seung

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: Built from a similar model as Launcher Spider, this 'bot is nicknamed Des Scissors, after his snipping claws that can cleave through rock like it's made of clay. His patrol involves the ocean, where he often works with Ground Attacker Bugroth in attempting to claim territory along the Duelscape's coasts.

He speaks with a laugh that sounds like the sound his claws make as they clash together, almost like swords clanging into each other. His armor is rustproof, strong against pressure and heat proof, allowing Des Scissors to reach deep levels of the sea without fear of being crushed like a tin can.

However, he's far from invincible, usually being set upon by the people of Atlantica, especially the Roaring Ocean Snake, whose strength is more than a match for his surprisingly frail limbs.

ADBK: The Fiend Megacyber

Epithet: The Treacherous Magical Warrior

Voice Actor: Kevin Michael Richardson

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: Although the Perfect Machine King did indeed take over the long-forgotten village and slaughter the inhabitants, one magically-inclined Warrior survived and allowed PMK to turn him into a cyborg. This is him, the Fiend Megacyber; a fighter who was growing despondent over his people, seeing them as just mindless chatel who let PMK do everything without putting up much resistance to the Dinosaurs that battled them on a daily basis.

The then-mortal man known simply as Gerard the Wizardly decided that being a servant to the actually strong and capable Perfect Machine King was better than serving a kingdom so quick to give up its own autonomy to the same Machine that protected them. As you can see, the logic of some of these monsters isn't quite the same as our normal human logic.

Regardless, the now cyborg Gerard calls himself the Fiend Megacyber for his great strength and fiendish mindset. He often works with his mechanically built brother Cyber Raider, and the two serve as two of the many fighters that serve the Machinations Tribe.

He even has his own rival of sorts with, ironically, a Dinosaur by the name of Megazowler, who shares a similar amount of raw strength. Calm and collected, Megacyber will not rest, however, until the Dinosaurs are wiped off the face of the Duelscape, which has lead to the often autonomous king Black Tyranno's alliance with the Kindred.

ADBK: Golgoil

Epithet: The Interdimensional Bulldozer

Voice Actor: Gary Schwartz

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: There are many otherworldly residents in the Duelscape, but only a few come from different dimensions so far. Among these is a strange knight-robot called Golgoil, appearing from a portal near the entrance to the Labyrinth of Treachery.

He was discovered by Cannon Soldier, and brought before the Perfect Machine King. After some trials regarding his destructive capabilities, this bulldozer with arms was sent to battle an invading force led by the Undead Hordes' own trio of Clown, Dragon and Armored Zombie.

Accompanied by a recently recruited Spikebot, the two plowed through the enemy in surprisingly little time. He was made a Machine General for his efforts, and now pushes into the Bog of the Undead Hordes as payback for invading Machine turf.

ADBK: Gear Golem the Moving Fortress

Epithet: The Fortress of Torment

Voice Actor: Fred Tatasciore

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: This machine general isn't much for processor power, but much like Blast Sphere, adores attacking and blowing up all around him. In fact, he's built to be a brother of sorts to Slot Machine courtesy of Robotic Knight. He was designed to primarily be an aerial scout, surveying the vast desert landscape so as to plan proper invasions.

He's also incredibly dense in terms of his overall design, able to ram himself into enemies with the force of a high-speed meteor! He, along with Stone Statue of the Aztecs, will often serve as part time guards under the command of Gatekeeper when not scouting locations. Their job is simple: Keep non-Machines from entering their Pyramid of Metal.

ADBK: Megasonic Eye

Epithet: The Otherworldly Obliterator

Voice Actor: Maurice LaMarche

Tribe: The Machinations

Biography: Outer space in the Duelscape is a bizarre thing indeed; strange beings seem to fall from these starry heavens and cause some rather bizarre changes to the status quo of the world at large. Meteor Dragon proved a surprisingly useful ally to the Dragon Republic, acting as an ambassador from beyond the stars. The Queen of the Cosmos proved a surprisingly benevolent deity, promising protection to those allied to her in exchange for knowledge about the Duelscape itself.

But not every being of the cosmos is as friendly or as relatively harmless; enter the doomsday device from the edge of the universe, Megasonic Eye. Crashing into the Wasteland not long after the creation of Mechanicalchaser, the strange metal monster claimed to be sent to destroy the Duelscape in the name of a deity unknown to any earthly monster. However, during the long, tedious journey, Megasonic lost the data that contained the activation code to his self-destruct option.

In short, he couldn't destroy the world and had no real purpose outside of it. So, feeling sorry for the alien robot, the Perfect Machine King gave him a new task: destroy all organic life. And Megasonic Eye can do so with aplomb thanks to his explosive bottom half, which can detonate with enough force to make a 30 foot crater should it hit the ground!

He was made a Machine General, and although not much for emotion, does empathize with the somewhat brash nature of Launcher Spider. In fact, he often works with both him and Mechanicalchaser.
