Invid (Robotech) - Invid Inorganics

Invid Inorganics

In pursuit of his goals of conquest, the Invid Regent created drones called Inorganics, which come in four distinct models: the cat-like Hellcat/Cougar and the more-humanoid Scrim, Crann, and Odeon, of which only the Hellcat and Odeon appear on screen in the limited Sentinels footage.

All Inorganics on a given planet are controlled by an Invid Living Computer (Brain and incapable of independent action. The principle function of the Inorganics appears to be to extend the range and firepower of the Regent's forces. Accordingly, they are employed both as vanguards (prior to the main Invid assault) and as occupation garrisons, allowing the Regent to minimize the losses taken by his troops while probing enemy defenses and to move front-line forces on to new battles.

The Hellcat is depicted as fast and vicious, able to leap and tear with force sufficient to knock down and rend a Robotech bioroid, but sufficiently vulnerable as to be destroyed by fire from human-sized hand weapons or by impact against rock. In contrast, the Odeon appears to be nearly indestructable from impact—a contingent of Odeons are seen buried by a landslide only to break free and continue on their way—while being extremely slow-moving.

Essentially willed into existence through use of protoculture, Inorganics disintegrate to nothing when destroyed.

Note that the Inorganics are solely conquest-oriented and exclusive to the forces of the Invid Regent. The Regis does NOT use Inorganics.
