Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bot

Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots, also known as Builders, are insectoid robots that accompany Battle Arachnids.

EXO-FORCE
Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots were first designed by the Sentai Mountain Robots, presumably after their rebellion. The Meca One found out from Sensei Keiken's memories that EXO-FORCE was using weapons that doubled as Mini-Robots. To counter this, the Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots were utilized during the jungle mission, where they attached to Battle Arachnoids and served as weapons. However, if needed, the Mini-Bots would detach from the Battle Machine and either attack or flee.

Some Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots were reprogrammed by EXO-FORCE members such as Ryo. Most of these were presumably destroyed in the war.

Presumably, the Robots lost the war, and their forces, including the Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots, were scattered.

Battles
The Crystalien forces fled to Sentai Mountain after suffering a defeat at Mars. They landed near Sentai Mountain and found a group of survivor robots in the jungle, including several Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots. The survivor robots accompanied the Crystaliens aboard the ETX Alien Mothership as it took off to return to the Crystalien home planet.

However, the Alien Mothership suffered a fuel leak and crash landed on Mars. The Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots were assigned then with some of the most important tasks: to mine for Energy Crystals, build Crystalien bases, and repair the Mothership. As such, the Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots, nicknamed "Builders" by the Crystaliens, were considered to be among the most important members of the Crystalien forces.

Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots accompanied the Alien Commander nearly everywhere he went, building bases and harvesting crystals. They were also frequently hunted by the Astros due to their importance. The last glimpse the Astros saw of the Crystalien forces was a couple Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots hurrying aboard the newly-repaired ETX Alien Mothership as it lifted off into space.

Abilities and Traits
Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots have a small, electrical charge produced from the tips of their legs that can be used for offense and defense. This ability was also used to harvest Energy Crystal fields by quickly cutting down the crystals. In addition, it is possible that the Mini-Bots are powered by organic material, since they were often seen with the remains of a Minifig in their heads.

Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots were specifically designed to attach to the front of Battle Arachnoids in such a way that their legs jutted out, allowing them to easily use their electrical charge to ward off enemies. When needed, they could easily detach from the Battle Arachnoids.

The Crystaliens reprogrammed Battle Arachnoid Mini-Bots to be miners and builders. The design of Crystalien buildings were implanted into their AI, allowing them to construct these buildings with ease.
