“According to the Corpos, the Cryo/Magma-Bots have two genders - Hot and Cool. The suits like to think that the bots can only serve one roll or the other but there are many jobs where they are often called to fulfill both and sometimes neither. Some bots specialize in one and disregard the other and some bots are arbitrarily painted blue or red but ultimately, they all can complete the same missions as one-another, even if in different ways.” - Tagged queer by its creator

Robots serving Corporate Interests by fulfilling specific, violent tasks. They are each powered by a Cryo/Magma Core that uses an alternating Fission-Fusion Piston to generate immense amounts of heat and cool that they can manipulate at will. According to the Corpos, the Cryo/Magma-Bots have two genders - Hot and Cool.
