The Talos (/ˈteɪlɒs/ IPA , Ταλοσ in Modern Olympian) were robots built by Hephaestus, serving as both his army and his subjects.
They were the main adversaries of “The robot, the goddess and the fanboy” and “The Vulcan war” storylines.
First appearance: BTI 012
History
The very first models were in bronze, but all future models were constructed in indestructible Neutral Matter.
Each Talos possessed an incredibly advanced artificial intelligence: a single unit was capable of scanning the entire Earth and translate all of its languages in a matter of seconds.
The Talos were powered by a miniaturized plasma reactor and were capable of faster-than-light travel.
After the demise of Hephaestus they were organized within the Talos Collective under the leadership of the android Galatea and were briefly part of the Mortal Alliance.
After their assault on Tiamat only 13 models remained active. The very last existing models were then modified by Viper to create the Oni.
It is unknown if any Talos remain active.
