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 [[Flight | Group Fly]] animation (jump jets in the feet).

Overview

Robotics is one of the powersets. It is a Mastermind primary power set.

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).
