The destruction of the first apex-tier synthetic drone was processed by the remaining five units in exactly four milliseconds.
Their localized computational logic immediately determined that concentrated thermal plasma was statistically irrelevant against the dense, pitch-black tungsten alloy of the intruder's Iron Skin. The surgical red visors on their featureless white faces flickered rapidly from a steady glow to a violent, strobing pulse.
They seamlessly shifted their combat parameters.
The twin-barreled plasma cannons on their right arms retracted with a sharp, mechanical hiss. In their place, massive, localized mono-molecular energy blades snapped outward. The blades hummed with a terrifying, high-frequency vibration, glowing with a harsh, ionized blue light designed to sever heavy tank chassis on a sub-atomic level.
