Blood Fist

Lightning-fast reflexes and a powerful synthetic musculature allow Automatons to jump higher and dodge faster than any other race in the arena. Limitations in the gyroscopic stabilizers require that jumping maneuvers have decreased horizontal motion, in order to ensure a stable landing.

The only team in the Tournament acknowledged to be entirely cybernetic, Blood Fist warriors have their programming upgraded each year, and have become more and more lethal.

Character biographies

Cobalt Cobalt Real Name KIL-0241 Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: No preference Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC Every soldier trains for combat using drones to perfect his targeting skills. But what if the drone was smarter, stronger, and you were the target? UT2004	Corrosion Corrosion Real Name PEI-1972 (Corottus) Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: No preference Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC Beneath an exterior of cold metal burns a soul as bright as a dying star, the essence of a being who sought to rule the galaxy at the Emperor's side. With his dreams stripped away from him as easily as his dying flesh, Corrosion now exists only to seek his revenge. UT2004
Mandible Mandible Real Name MDB-2274 Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: Flak Cannon Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC Mandible's programmer thought it would be interesting to have his creation contemplate the meaning of life. Three days and 76 bodies later the automaton still lacked an answer, but had gained extensive knowledge of human physiology. UT2004	Rapier Rapier Real Name GSU-8860 Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: No preference Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC (as Ginsu) It slices, it dices, eviscerates, and decapitates, sees in the dark, and can track you by your DNA. Just like the girl you stood up on prom night. UT2004
Renegade Renegade Real Name LVW-1963 Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: Link Gun Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC (as Rapier) No mercy will be granted by the drone as this feature was removed in the last operating system update. UT2004	Syzygy Syzygy Real Name YYZ-0799 Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: No preference Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC Syzygy takes the term 'bleeding edge' to a whole new level. UT2004
Thorax Thorax Real Name THX-2276 Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: Rocket Launcher Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC Relentless in competition and possessed of a digital immortality that the organics are incapable of understanding, Thorax seeks only one goal: victory. UT2004	Widowmaker Widowmaker Real Name WMR-0333 Race Cybernetic Born: N/A Corporate Affiliation: None Weapon Preference: No preference Appearances: UT2003 UT2004 UC Widowmaker is one of the few battle drones confirmed to be wholly inorganic. Advanced threat detection and onboard evasive logic make this being a force to be reckoned with. UT2004

Trivia

• Some previous descriptions from some of the combatants in the betas:

It is suspected that the battle drones of Premaka contain the recorded consciousness of Imperial soldiers killed in battle. This may explain their bloodthirsty nature, which reeks with the taint of organic contamination.

Thorax seeks his prey with the relentlessness of a homing missile, with no need for food or rest. The only way to escape his deadly grasp is to destroy him.

He's not about to let you do that.

Syzygy is one of the few battle drones confirmed to be wholly inorganic. Advanced threat detection and onboard evasive logic make this being a force to be reckoned with.

No mercy will be granted by the drone as this feature was removed in the last operating system update.

• Rapier was called Ginsu in Unreal Championship, while Renegade was called Rapier.
