Prog Bot is a boss in Into the Nexus. It is an immense robot built by the Thugs-4-Less in the likeness of Neftin Prog, which competes in the Destructapalooza. It was built as a practice robot for new recruits, believing they would relish the chance to "smack around their own boss".[1]
Ratchet and Clank fought the Prog Bot when competing in the challenge "The Bigger They Are".
Characteristics[]
The Prog Bot is a large, metallic robot with the same general silhouette as Neftin Prog. Its design features silver and purple armor plating, a large, rounded torso, and a small head. Like Neftin, it utilizes two massive flails as its primary weapons.
Combat[]
The Prog Bot has the same general attacking patterns as Neftin Prog, employing two large flails for offense. Its attacks include: thrusting both maces forward in quick succession; running towards Ratchet to slam them down; and hanging from the ceiling to use one mace to create shockwaves at Ratchet's position. It can also stand in the arena center and channel electricity into the arena floor, creating multiple large shockwaves.
All weapons are viable against the Prog Bot, but powerful upgraded weapons are recommended due to its toughness. The Nightmare Box is especially effective as it will both scare, canceling its attack, and distract the robot until it is destroyed. This also has the benefit of distracting any supporting jetpack-equipped thug shooters.
