Combot is a general-purpose
humanoid robot that Lee Chaolan entered in The King of Iron Fist Tournament
4 as a part of his scheme to win. Combot is unlike any other humanoid robots
developed to date. Besides its default set of motor functions, a powerful
learning AI function enables it to mimic perfectly any human motion captured
on its mocap sensor arrays. With this ability, Combot is suitable for a
wide spectrum of applications from childcare, housekeeping, service industries,
and even military duty. However, this Combot is a unique version customized
for hand-to-hand combat. In fact, its development was rushed so that it
could be finished in time for the Tournament.
Violet's plan was to have Combat memorize a variety of fighting styles
as it progressed through the Tournament. His ultimate goal was to create
the most powerful hand-to-hand combat weapon in the world and win the Mishima
Zaibatsu at the same time. Unfortunately, the development team did not
have sufficient time to debug Combot. As a result, a few bugs remained
in its memory subsystems when the Tournament started. These bugs prevent
Combot from mimicking more than one person's moves each time it is powered
up.
