Robots

Robots are mechanical beings and one of the most major species in the Ratchet & Clank series.

Overview
There are two overarching types of robots to exist: sentient robots who were capable of breeding, and robots with low AI who are generally manufactured for a specific purpose. Female robots are sometimes referred to as "Femdroids."

Some Robots have various defense systems inside them. Some robots are known to have a soul of some sort. Others are known to eat and drink. Some Robots have incredibly long life-spans, as Nefarious saw being stuck on an asteroid for potentially up to 10,000 years as a mere annoyance.

It was possible to create organic/robot hybrids named cyborgs, and also possible to fully convert organics into robots (via methods such as the Biobliterator), or transform a robot into a fully organic being (via methods such as the Morph-O-Ray).
