A Question from Mcmiky: okay, so I’ve been wondering this for a while, and yes, i know they are made from a virus that infects the machine as long as their is a semi-modern device inside the machine, EI a gps, or computer of some sort.
but my main question, is, would a Dire Machine’s body, be considered Bio-metal. Bio-metal, is a substance that still has the properties of metal but is also Biological or organic in nature. Bio-metal is living metal. and it can think on its own, change shape and bond to a host.
from what i read, that’s what the nanites that infect machines and humans do.. it gives machines independent thought, makes them a living organism, and changes them, granting them, manipulation arms, eyes, mouths… hell there is even anthropomorphic Dire machines.
so id just like an official Yes, or no.
Tbh.. got into a bit of a annoying argument and i just want an answer. right or wrong, yes or no. i don’t care, id just like to know.
@Mcmickey: Dire machine bodies are not organic, but are Synthsteel. An infusion of many trillions of smaller machines that mimic a very limited no. of functions of biological tissue. It is not a complete mimicry, and thus doesn’t allow the machine body to do some of the same things that mammal tissue does. For example, Dire machines are incapable of motions that would bend the chassis, hull, or air frame greater than 20 degrees in any direction (because they are they are actually closer to beings with rigid exo-skelleton shells like oysters, mollusks, and clams). So YES it is Synthetic Bio metal via infusion.
