Overview

Robotics allow you to construct an army of mechanical henchmen and repair and upgrade them in order to keep your army in tip-top shape. Robot Henchmen generally have good resistances to lethal, cold and psionic damage, as well as sleep, fear and disorient. They are vulnerable to EMP attacks. Robot Henchmen cannot be resurrected.

Robots, along with Mercenaries, are one of the ranged henchmen sets. Its damage is Energy/Smashing based, and its resists are Sleep, Fear, Disorient, Lethal, Cold, and Psionic. Many of its powers have a knockback component - other than this it is a control-light set, as opposed to Necromancy. It is notable as the only Mastermind powerset not based on a human model, and the only powerset with a customized Group Fly animation (jump jets in the feet).

Power Table

The Robotics powerset is available as a primary set for Masterminds. The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:

Repair	18	Full Heal Robot
Assault Bot	26	Summon Assault Bot
Upgrade Robot	32	Ranged, Upgrade Robot Henchman
