There are currently five types of bots. Common, Limited Edition, Rare, Ultra-rare, and Legendary. Each type has its own uniqueness about it and become increasingly stronger and harder to obtain as the list goes down.

STANDARD SET:
The standard 'common' bots are available to all. Each bot has its own unique stages that it will turn into. The current common bots are the E-bit, F-Qubit, H20-bit. These bots have three stages that they will turn to without any items. All three of these will be sold in flatsales frequently throughout different events. So keep your eyes open.
User Image

SPECIAL EVOLUTIONS:
Special evolutions of the standard bots can be achieved through items that can be found either in the machine shop or by battling and roleplaying. Each item will have a different outcome on the bot and look completely different from the other item forms. These bots have stronger skills and are higher level then the common evolutions of the bots..
User Image

Silhouettes will be filled in as the evolutions are achieved

LIMITED EDITION BOTS:
Limited Edition bots are bots that are sold in limited numbers. For example, only 15 firefoxes will ever exist because they will not be given out after the opening event.

RARE BOTS:
Raretype bots are made available very infrequently, but unlike Limited edition bots they can be given away at any time. However, It is possible for rare bots to be retired.

ULTRA-RARE BOTS:
Ultra-rare bots are extremely difficult to get, and no two of them are ever the same.

LEGENDARY BOTS:
Legendary bots are large, powerful, one of a kind bots. They have the highest Battledome stats and they can easily gain followings in the faction wars.

---------Earth, a planet everyone is familiar with and the one place we all call home. Over the years parts of it have been abused and people have become greedy. Far in the future, it soon became apparent that one planet would not be enough to sustain the human race. They would need more. To rectify this problem, scientists decided to send ships to explore the outer reaches of the galaxy. They populated these ships with evolving, sentient robots who were programmed to transform the planets into life sustaining masses for the humans. And this, this is exactly what they did. Most of the spending budget was directed to the research and creation of robots; all different kinds for different purposes. Robots who could change, reason, and build more of themselves. It was beautiful to see all the creations come to life. They were tested and tested again to make sure they could perform their duties. Hundreds of ships populated by thousands of robots were built, and with that, they were launched out into space to start their journey.

---------Many of the ships completed their missions long ago, but on one ship, light-years away from it's original home planet, there was a problem. A corruption. One tiny file in the intricate, complicated clockwork of the ship's software was missing, and over time that corruption grew, causing the ship to go off course. No one is sure what exactly happened or how long the bots have been in space, but resources started to run dry for the creations and the tiny corruption in their minds caused them to turn on each other. At first it was small squabbles here and there but soon the small bickering became much bigger. The bots could not get along and it soon became apparent that they were not going to try. As the ship floated through space, the robots began their revolt against one another. The first fights created scratches and dents on the inside of the ship, destroying small robots and leaving scraps floating about their home. The entity piloting the ship closed its doors to the rest of the bots because of all the useless fighting. Soon, factions started to rise and larger battles took place. Finally, these group battles broke through the exterior of the ship. The vacuum of space pulled at the ship and tried to drag anything within it out into the desolate wasteland. Many bots were sucked out into space to never be seen again.

---------After this catastrophe, the bots, their numbers depleted, realized that something had to change. A treaty, organized by the machine repair bot Gil, was signed. Under the treaty, the ship was repaired and a battle dome was constructed. All serious fighting from that day forward was to take place in the battle dome. A Medical area was also constructed to repair bots after battles, and fighting to to the death was banned.

---------Since then, things have changed. Some bots from different factions form friendships and even partner and build new bots together but other bots form faction-based gangs that terrorize bots from other factions. The ship’s pilot, who ever that may be, has yet to be heard from. Many bots do not know what started the whole fighting. The giant ship they fight in has its dings and dents, but it still flies. New robots have been created by scrap metal and certain items by Gil. The battles have long been seen as a kind of tradition or a game, but bots have begun to take them more seriously. The Factions started to rise again, and the battles are getting larger and more violent. It has been centuries since the giant space ship first entered space, and it continues to drift aimlessly as the Bots go about their lives on board.

General Information
o1. Follow the Gaia TOS

This is an obvious no matter what you are doing.

o2. Have Fun.

This one speaks for itself. But also do not prevent others from joining.

o3. No Humans

This is about robots and the only humans were on planet Earth.

o4. Roleplay May Be Done Through Any Means

While the easiest way to keep track of a roleplay is through a thread in the guild. Roleplay may also be done via instant messenger or any other means, as long as a log is kept and can be produced if asked.

*click for larger image*

Captains Cabin: Obviously this is the quarters of whoever or whatever is flying the ship. Since the door closed centuries ago, no one knows the current condition or whereabouts of the captain. This area is pretty much off limits.

Arboretum: The home base to all Earth type robots. It is overgrown by masses of trees and vegetation. The area itself can house thousands of bots. Only the Earth bots know what is truly deep inside the area.

Hydration Tank: The home base to all the Water type robots. It is filled almost completely with water, leaving a small air pocket at the very top. A city of sediment and coral was slowly built over time for the bots that inhabit this tank.

The Engine Room: The home base to all the Fire type robots. This engine room keeps the ship running and is fueled by the bots themselves. The extreme heat is comforting to the fire bots and keeps other types from going too far in.

Neutral Hallway: The Hallway that leads down into the Battle Dome. Here leader boards display the stats of each and every battle as well as some personal stats.

Storage Area: Just like the Captain's Cabin, this area is sealed off and off limits to all bots.

Medical Bay: The medical bay is the place where all bots go after a battle. The medical bot fixes up each individual bot and then sends them on their way. Not only does the medical bay heal bots it also performs experiments on organics.

Machine Shop And Bar: Gil's one stop shop for Items, Upgrades, Multipliers, Microchips, and Beverages. Just be careful, he is a little grumpy.

The Battle-Dome: The one place where bots freely settle their differences and try their best to destroy one another. Each battle is recorded on the leader boards. The Battle Dome itself seems as if it was created from spare parts.

The dome is set and your opponent is just on the other side of the room. Broken glass and scrap metal lay on the ground below. The noise of other bots can be faintly heard around you, waiting to see the final outcome.

It is just you and the problem "starter". This is the zone where you settle who was wrong and who was right the old fashioned way.

Here in the battle dome robots can destroy one another over whatever they feel. This is the place for carnage and destruction to take place. This is what all the robots exist for. This is your fight.

General Rules
o1. Rules and Procedures

Here

o2. Respect

Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some.

o3. Someone Else's Property

Do not post in anyone else's Battle thread without permission.

o4. Emergency

In the case of a dispute or problem, PM the mule.

- The Machine shop offers items that Gil himself has created to aid the battles. Each item does something different so be sure to read about them before purchasing.

"Huh, who's there? Oh it is you little bot. Don't you think I have better things to do then gaze down at your ugly mug? No? Well you think you are that important huh? Ha! Don't make me laugh. Why don't you just look at the things I'm offering and buy something so I can get back to peace and quiet again. And be quick about it, I don't have all dang day."

Chromatic Calibrator - 20k gold - 0 in stock
This new product, with it's sleek, modern, multicolored design can be used to change your bot's paint job to a randomized new setting! The unique dual-colorizer system includes both a tattoo module and an airbrush module, so that it will work on any bot.

User Image

Clock Block - 5k gold - 0 In stock
This product has a built in stabilizer. With it's beautiful gold and purple cords and charges this new item will allow any bot that uses it to stop aging. Let me repeat that, STOP AGING. Of course this will only work if your bot has not reached its final stage already.

User Image

Backwards Booster - 7k gold - 0 in stock
The brand new product that will revolutionise the spaceship. With its ever lasting sands of time the Backwards Booster can take any bot and return it to a younger stage. It gives your bot a needed energy boosts and sends its mechanics flying backwards. Don't worry though, it only goes back one stage.

User Image

Nitrus Chip - - 10k gold - 0 in stock
An important new part of the items family is the Nitrus Chip. Not only does the cool metal exterior make it look awesome, the Nitroxic green gel that runs through the chip can take your bot and transform it to a new never before seen stage. Oh wow. This item can also be won through battles.

User Image

Crystal Cog - 10k gold - 0 in stock
The sister item to the Nitrus Chip. This item is imbued with ice crystals from a far away land. The item itself is cold to the touch and can transform your bot to a new never before seen stage. This item can also be won through RP.

User Image

Connector Input - 10k gold - 0 in stock
The fancy Connector Input. The Pink design makes this item directed more toward the Ladybots, but it is not just for them. Even Gentbots can enjoy this magical machine. The Connector Input cannot work without the Connector Output, but when this items combine, breeding is made possible. This item may also be obtained through RP.

User Image

Connector Output - 10k gold - 0 in stock
The cool blue Connector Output. The design was made specifically for Gentbots but we find many Ladybots can enjoy the item as well. The cord is made specifically to fit into the Connector Input only. When these two items combine, breeding is made possible. This item may also be obtained through battling.

User Image

Love Essence - 0k gold - 0 in stock
The pink liquid inside this bottle is actually pure, unadulterated love. It is collected by Cupid during Valentines Day and bottle up for future use. The sweet tasting liquid can drank by your bot to transform it to a never before seen stage, with LOVE! Can only be obtained from Cupid.

How to Order

To order an item, first make sure it's in stock! Second, you must have a bot profile before you can buy items. [Bot Profiles can be created before a bot is owned.] Then, once both of these are confirmed, go ahead and post in the thread, in a noticeable fashion (perhaps big, red font) the item and quantity you would like to purchase. The final step is to go ahead and send a trade to the mule.

How to Use an Item

To use an item, please post in the certing thread! Then, don't forgot to remove the item from your bot profile - or note that it has been used!

Certs

All Certs are shown below. You may choose the one you want for your bot. If you wish to change your bot's cert, there is a recerting fee of 5k. During the Valentine event, re-certing is free because more certs have appeared. Expect to see certs coming soon to a machine shop near you!

Sometimes, when a bot meets a special someone, the pair of them decide to sit down with some spare parts and build new members of their personal armies.

This process is known as 'breeding' or 'multiplying'. Usually, Gilbot will provide the plans and parts to help manufacture new potential customers. Sometimes, though, the parent bots will 'improve' on the designs of their offspring, resulting in cool upgrades or other anomalies.

Once the baby bot's new chassis is complete, they are programmed through a complicated process that combines the two parent bot's AI into a new operating system using a connector input and a connector output chip. Because of this process, no two bots have exactly the same personality.

Q: How do I obtain a bot?
A: Through Flatsales, Auctions, Raffles, Contests, ect. If customs is open you may also obtain one that way.

Q: How much does a bot cost?
A: In Flatsales the bots cost 5k Each.

Q: Are the bots RP required?
A: No they are not. You may receive specific items through Rping or Battling, but you can also buy those if needed.

Q: When will my bot grow?
A: Your bot will evolve at least within a week if going through the normal stages. If you use an item on the bot it may only take a few days.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of bots we can own?
A: Not usually, except you are usually allowed to own only 1 of each limited edition bot species.

Q: Are we allowed to purchase items before we get bots?
A: Yes, but you must have a bot profile [journal] made in the guild because that is how we keep track. You do not have to have a bot to make one.

Q:Can we use Nitrus Chips and Crystal Cogs on bots other than the standard ones?
A: Yes you can use them, but they won't do anything. Haha!

Q: Is there a limit to how many battles I can have in one day and can my same bot be in more than one battle at a time?
A: There is no limit to how many battles you can have in one day and yes your bot may be in more than one battle at a time. As long as you can keep up with all of those at least.

Q: My question wasn't answer, what do I do?
A: PM Rocket AI with your question or ask it in the thread.
