But it's got shiny robots kicking butt, it is part of a larger story and it asks the question, can A.I. love. Droids v Aliens (not the copyrighted ones). A flare was fired into the sky; this was usually the sign of a Krachim attack as they needed the light more than droids. True to form the Krachim’s swarmed over the hill. Krachim’s where colossal beast matching in height most battle droids, they had the look of a giant with four massive arms and two sturdy legs but when running, they bent over using all six appendages. The sentry guns kicked into action killing row upon row, confusion flared in the robot troops because the attack came from the opposite side to the weakened defences. Newton knew the guns would overheat or just sheer numbers would outweigh them, he saw the swarm getting closer to the weapons as he thought it. Two stopped firing as they overheated droids took their place in the wall trying to give them time to cool, another gun was crushed under the weight of the attack, the Krachim’s once passed the wall stood on two legs and brandished many different weapons to attack the defenders. He saw Dent rip an arm from an attacker, with the axe still in the attacker's hand; another Krachim fired all four guns at once taking the head off another droid.
