Harvester (Blarg robot)

Harvesters are large, Blarg robots used by Chairman Drek. They were built specifically by Drek Industries to transport planetary chunks as part of Drek's plan to build a new homeward, New Quartu, as their original home planet of Quartu was quite unbearable due to rampant pollution.

Harvesters had the appearance of a small, brown, ovoid shaped body with a single eye receptor being present at the machines front. When preparing for transportation of planetary chunks from a destroyed world, Harvesters would open up, with their appearance vaguely resembling a mechanical, stinging insect, with two metal "wings" and a drill that resembles a "stinger".

Harvesters were utilized in conjunction with a Deplantiser, which would blow apart a planet (such as Tenemule or Novalis). The remains of this these planets would consist of chunks of planetary landmass strewn across space. The Deplantiser would then deploy large swarms of Harvesters, around hundred or more. These Harvesters would swarm over an ideal landmass, and proceed to attach themselves to said landmass chunk via their drills. After the Harvester swarms had attached themselves to landmass chunk, the Harvesters would teleport in unison along with the planetary chunk, which would be transported to New Quartu to be added as a new addition.
