Description

The MACHINES were created by The Cogheads under the name Autonauts, as a way to weaponize their advanced mechanical technology against The Collective, who failed to see the potential of automation in the new Industrial Era.

Autonauts were governed by massive supercomputers called Engineers who were responsible for developing the complex behavior logic of Autonauts, as well as identifying ways to improve their efficiency in both logic and design. However, one issue with the Engineers was that they had no conditions set to preserve Coghead lives during their decision making, and their motives quickly turned from preserving the Cogheads to preserving Industrialization.

Autonauts begun rapidly expanding on their own accord, and newer models begun terrorizing the surface of Earth better than their predecessors until their smog covered the skies, and human blood soaked the soil. To this day there is no definitive answer as to whether or not the Machines are self-aware.
