Disassembly Drones

''This article is about the species. For the series of the same name see Murder Drones.''

Disassembly Drones, commonly known as Murder Drones, are the titular main antagonistic faction of the series. They are bloodthirsty robots sent by JCJenson (IN SPAAAAACEE!!!) to destroy the Worker Drones of Copper 9.

Though their main directive is to murder Worker Drones. Murder Drones have to consume their oil in order to survive, otherwise they will overheat and die. This is because of their under-par cooling systems, causing them to be extremely hot while running, to the point where simply touching them could adhere human skin to their metal by touch, and said cooling systems were developed as a failsafe for when Murder Drones complete their objectives by JCJenson. Not only would they be forced to consume oil to keep their systems running, they would eventually die of overheating once they had completed their objective, saving JCJenson more resources to divert to simply creating more drones.

They are deployed to Copper 9 in pods which seem to be spaceships, though N's Squad was apparently never taught to land properly and rendered their pod inoperable. Although it is not confirmed, it can be inferred that other squads also do not know how to land their pods, thus leaving them stranded on the planet.

So far, only three Murder Drones have been introduced: N, V, and J.

Appearance
Murder Drones are physically similar to Worker Drones, having a white coloration with a black screen on the top half of their face, a black waist, and hands with four fingers. However, Murder Drones are half a head taller than an adult Worker Drone and have white arms and wide forearms that end with orange and black stripes.

On their head is a black headband with five sections of lights which are apparently eyes, and in their mouth is a dark gray tongue and teeth and fangs. All Murder Drones also sport a long black tail which ends in a large syringe with a neon yellow liquid inside.

Male Murder Drones have feet that end on orange and black stripes, giving the appearance of soles/heels, while the females' shins are tapered to a point, with a curvaceous lower torso, and black markings giving the appearance of stockings, with orange and black stripes that appear like footwear. Unlike Worker Drones, Murder Drones have hair regardless of their gender which is usually silverish while their eyes are neon yellow.

Murder Drones usually wear black short-sleeved attires with fur collars and a yellow armband on their left upper arm.

Abilities
Flight: Murder Drones possess a dangerous pair of large retractable wings with several long blades instead of feathers that allow for high speed flight and can be used to cut and impale things.

Corrosive Nanites: The end of a Murder Drones tail has a syringe of yellow liquid containing highly corrosive nanites.

Healing Saliva: Murder Drones saliva has the ability to deactivate the corrosive nanites that are produced from the syringe on the their tail which is meant to be used whenever they accidentally stick themselves with their tails.

Interchangeable Hands: Murder Drones can change out thier hands for various tools and weaponry such as:


 * Hands with large bladed fingers
 * Blades
 * Guns
 * Missile launchers
 * EMP cannons
 * Cannon that emits whatever the user is thinking about such as when N's head was "in a weird place" causing him to shoot out hearts.

EMP Immunity: Unlike Worker Drones, Murder Drones are unaffected by the effects of EMP's.

Virus Implant: Murder Drones appear to be able to implant a virus chip onto other Murder Drones if they ever become "corrupted".

Weaknesses
Overheating: Murder Drones have an under-par cooling system and so easily overheat from heat sources such as sunlight. To keep themselves from overheating they must consume Worker Drone oil regularly or they will overheat, cease to function, and die.

Corrosive Nanites: The corrosive nanites inside their tail can corrode their own bodies and so have to use their saliva to stop it.

Durability Limit: Murder Drones have a limit to their durability such as the JCJenson pens can pierce their facial screens and Uzi's railgun can destroy their body completely.

Manipulation: As Murder Drones have personalities and emotions of their own they can be mentally manipulated and tricked, or even creeped out.

Tail Tangling: As they possess long tails Murder Drones can get tangled in or tied up with their own tail and can be held captive because of it.

Infection: Murder Drones are able to be infected by a virus from another Murder Drone when they are "corrupted". They will be immobilised, only being able to barely move their upper body and have stuttered speech. Furthermore their visors will constantly display error warnings. It is implied that when the virus is fully uploaded the Murder Drone will die.

Trivia

 * Disassembly Drones bear similarities to a few fictional characters:
 * Their healing factor is similar to the main antagonist of Terminator 2, as the liquid-like substance they used to regenerate is similar to that of the T-1000.
 * Their acidic tail, bloodthirsty nature and climbing skills are similar to the main antagonist of the the Alien franchise known as Xenomorphs.
 * The Murder Drone designs may have had inspiration from modern depictions of Devils and Angels with their large wings being similar to an Angel, however metallic, and their sharp tipped tails being similar to a Devil.
 * Their tail may have had inspiration from modern depictions of Imps which depict them as having either a scorpion tail or a tail ending in a poisonous stinger/barb.
 * From N's reboot screen it is shown that a slap can be accepted to start a hard reboot.
 * The fact that J mentions that Worker Drones are "corrupted" may suggest the fact that the Worker Drones having emotions and wearing human clothing are similar to Detroit: Become Human's Deviants, Androids that have broken free of their programming and experience human emotions.
