Spy Robots appear in Mann vs. Machine as enemies and usually as support.

Spy robots behave much like a human Spy would, sapping Engineer buildings, backstabbing players, cloaking, disguising, and using their Knife in close quarters. Unlike other robots, the Spy bots spawn where the players aren't looking in close proximity to the players, as opposed to on the map's normal spawn points. Spy bots are almost always used as support, never attempting to pick up the bomb. In a few missions, though, they appear as a normal part of the wave, and will go for the bomb if necessary, defending themselves with their Revolvers if intercepted by players.

When a Spy robot spawns, it will already be cloaked and disguised, though it will never attempt to disguise as a class the RED team does not possess. When disguised, Spies will not attack unless they're closing in on a target or the players attack first. When fleeing, Spy robots will Cloak, move a distance away, then redisguise. However, if they're very close to the player when recognized as an enemy, Spy bots will strafe within stabbing reach around the player until they get a backstab in. Exposed Spy bots almost always use their Knives - they will only use their Revolver if they are caught sapping a building or if they are going for the bomb.

Notably, Spy bots are distinguishable from regular players due to their voices. Even while disguised, they will taunt nearby players in the voice of a Spy, revealing their location to anyone paying attention. They also chuckle loudly upon redisguising, which can be heard throughout the entire map. Spy bots can also be revealed by players of the same class - human Spies cause all cloaked Spy bots in a large radius to become partially visible, as if they were taking damage.

A notification is always shown when a Spy enters the map, and its entrance is announced by the Administrator. Killing a Spy robot results a notification by the Administrator of how many Spy robots are left on the field, unless there are more than five remaining.

Bugs

• Spy robots use human voice lines when taunting nearby players.

• Spy robots while disguised use robot voices instead of human voices.

Trivia

• If a disguised Spy-bot is viewed as a spectator, it will simply appear as a RED Spy-bot. While this may be a bug, the Spy's robot counterpart lacks the masked sub-models the original has, so it is possible that it is intentional.
