Overview

This machine is a webcomic-exclusive robot from Bofoi's workshop, controlled at a distance by its inventor and slotted into the specialized Metal Series unit. Rather than being a single prototype, the model exists in mass-produced copies.

It is purpose-built for combat in the air. Four arms branch from its frame, and each one mounts an energy-firing weapon. A cluster of thrusters sits below the body to hold its streamlined shape aloft, and its head bears the trio of lenses common to Bofoi's designs.

Function

Metal Bishop serves as a networked aerial gunner. It can hover and fly freely, and it strikes enemies with strong energy blasts launched from its four weaponized arms. Bofoi is able to speak through the robot and tie his other machines into it, pooling their data to sharpen the whole group's fighting performance.

Notable Users

Bofoi is the creator and sole operator. During the robot invasion staged by The Organization, numerous Metal Bishops fanned out over the cities, drawing the attention of Drive Knight before Neo Heroes leaders such as Raiden and Accel tore them apart. One unit lingered overhead to watch the aerial duel between Raiden and Superalloy Darkshine. When Child Emperor confronted Bofoi over his suspected role in the invasion and unleashed the Super Brave Giant, Bofoi answered with a squad that included Metal Bishop, though Genos ended the brief clash by punching clean through the giant machine.
