“Destroy intruders.”

—Patrol Bot  

Sentry Bot is a term for robotic security units, but specifically the security robots stationed to defend the climate control center on Fichina from any intruders.

Characteristics

Their anatomy consists of a legless central body with two arms that end in pink "hands". They attack with a slam attack using these arms as hammers, akin to the Spyborg from "Star Fox 64".

History

One year after the Plight of Sauria, sentry bot units were installed as security for the climate control center on Fichina. When the Star Fox Team arrived on the planet in the middle of their chase of Pigma Dengar, Fox entered the climate control center to switch the atmospheric program back on, getting caught by the sentry bots in the process, whom they assume Pigma had hacked in an attempt to eliminate the Star Fox team. These robots were equipped with a force field that proved very strong, strong enough to repel the firepower of all weapons at Fox's disposal (save for large-caliber weaponry such as the laser weapons on the Arwing). With guidance from Krystal's telepathy, the sentrty bots' weak point was exposed after making their swipe attack, to which Fox used to his advantage. Eventually Falco Lombardi arrived to rescue Fox, making short work of the sentry bots using his Arwing. Slippy Toad analyzed the sentry bots, discovering that they had become aparoids; he theorized that aparoids had the ability to take over the minds of bionic targets. This proved crucial to the continuing events in the war.

Portrayals

The Patrol Bot quote was provided by Michael McAuliffe, who also ironically voiced Slippy.

Trivia

• Sentry bots appear to be much like (If not inspired by) the robotic 'Sentinels' from the Halo series, the "holy worriers" of the Forerunners in the series. A big similarity between the two is that both of them (at some point in time) came in conflict with an unknown alien parasite, The Flood for the Sentinels, and the Aparoids for the Sentry Bots.
• If enough Sentry Bots are destroyed, a Machine Gun will be dropped, allowing Fox to hold on until Falco arrives to his rescue.
