Capabilities
The user either is or can become an empowered machine, which can either be robots, artificial intelligences, cyborgs, androids, etc. Depending on their power sets, they can rival the most powerful threats in combat and their technological AIs can also possibly be more superior to modern ones due to being proficiently built. Some others can possibly be immune or resistant to weaknesses associated with machines.
Supermachines can be divided into two separate categories:
Rational
- Metamachines of this category gain their powers through evolution, genetic engineering, modification, exposition to radiation or biohazardous substances, like mutagens, or other scientific means.
Irrational
- Non-scientific machines gain their powers by being given them, enchantment, blessing, granted wishes, etc., without engineering based alternatives.
