The Engineer robot is a support unit, its arrival and destruction always being announced by the Administrator. It has 500 health, much higher than the standard human Engineer. Its main role is to build teleporter exits so the robots can spawn closer to the bomb.
The Engineer spawns by teleporting onto a suitable sentry nest location near the bomb, and immediately builds a teleporter exit and a Sentry Gun. Both take some time to build but automatically become level 3 upon completion. From this point onwards, groups of robots can spawn through the Engineer's teleporter, and they will be invulnerable for a short duration after appearing. As the bomb moves forward, the Engineer will attempt to move up with it, setting up new bases closer to the objective. Just as other robots have infinite ammo, Engineer robots never run out of metal – as soon as its building is destroyed, it will construct another. When an Engineer's teleporter is active, an icon appears on the HUD, and it can easily be found with a blue pillar of light that appears above it. The Administrator will announce if an Engineer is destroyed but still has an active teleporter on the field.
There are also two rarer varieties of Engineer robot, both of which have half the health of the standard variety. One type spawns normally instead of teleporting in, but still constructs a teleporter for the other robots to spawn at. The other type also spawns normally, but does not build Teleporters at all, instead only constructing a Sentry Gun.
Bugs
- Whenever an Engineer robot and any number of Spy robots are on the field, the Engineer will repeat "Spy down" until it or the Spies are destroyed.
Trivia
- The Engineer Robot has a metal plate on it's back that reads エンジニア, which is Japanese for Engineer.
