Hercules Unit

The Hercules Unit are a series of giant robots jointly developed by Moirai Enterprises and R.I.S.T. to remotely shut down large groups of Maldroids in its vicinity. However, the Units were stolen by HackNet, who repurposed them to instead transform large groups of Humandroids into Maldrones.

History
The Hercules Unit was undergoing production at the R.I.S.T. headqarters when HackNet raided it. While Darren headed to the armory, Joel broke into the hidden factory where the Hercules Units were being produced and used a Malcoder to reprogram a single completed unit. The hacked Hercules Unit proceeded to partially destroy a nearby hospital and covert several of its Humandroid staff into Maldrones. To combat this threat, Becca Fox gave the Mammoth SD Hacker to L.I.S.A., who used it to create the Breaking Mammoth SD Programmer. Zerone used the new Programmer to transform, accessing Zerone Breaking Mammoth, an older mech design created during the tenure of Sheamus Elliott that was very similar to the Hercules Unit. With his new form, Zerone was able to destroy the Units.

After Darren's temporary deactivation by Volcanus, Joel's grief caused the Ark to mass-produce more Hercules Units along with an army of Maldrones. When Zerone arrived and transformed into Hybrid Hopper, the Hercules Units combined their attacks with Joel and were able to overwhelm Zerone. However, Zerone then activated Hybrid Hopper's Shine System, which enabled him to destroy the Units along with Joel.

Design
The Unit's design, as noted by L.I.S.A., bear a similarity to Breaking Mammoth in its armor form. Unlike Breaking Mammoth's humanoid face, the Hercules Unit's head is simplistic and features a single central eye. It doesn't display the ability to transform, and is not equipped with the Mammoth Pressers on its arms. However, it features tusk-like blades identical to Breaking Mammoth's Tusk Slicers that it can detach from its torso to wield as handheld weapons. After being reprogrammed by HackNet, the Hercules Unit can produce numerous tendrils similar to those used by the Maldroids from its hands, which it uses to transform Humandroids into Maldrones.
