CuBots are robotic creatures who were originally meant to appear as enemies in the Flash of Shadows. Like with Umbra, they were removed from the game following the scrap of the story mode.
In the game mode's original story, CuBots were Umbra's minions. They came in multiple different types, each with different attacks, although overall they shared the same role in the story. They were planned to appear as enemies in multiple levels, including even the final boss fight against Umbra.
The following are the CuBots and their multiple variants. Only their designs were ever revealed, meaning their names and functions in this story are made up by me.
CuBots
The basic default CuBots.
Ninja CuBots
CuBots themed around ninjas. They wear red headbands and ninja masks and wield katanas.
Sith CuBots
CuBots themed around the Sith from the Star Wars franchise. They wield red beam swords.
Blaster CuBots
CuBots wielding blasters.
Tank CuBots
Pretty self explanatory.
Cargo CuBots
Used for carrying heavy load. Including people.
TT-13s
Four armed diamond-shaped CuBots wielding a red beam sword in each hand like General Grievous from Star Wars. They can shoot lasers from their faces. The also bear a resemblance to the Spinning Robots from EarthBound.
Orb CuBots
Orbs with CuBot faces that shoot lasers. They also come out of a generator. They resemble the Jedi training orbs from the Star Wars franchise.
The green and grey ones are made of uranium and are used as explosives.
Sega CuBots.
CuBots themed after Sonic and Shadow from the Sonic franchise, and Nights from Nights: Into Dreams.
Electro CuBots
CuBots with electric powers. They can shoot lighting from their hands like Emperor Palpatine and Count Dooku from Star Wars.
Pigmask CuBots
Themed after the Pigmask enemies from Mother 3.
Uranium CuBots
Green and grey-colored CuBots made of uranium. They are programed to self destruct like the Pokémon Voltorb and Electrode.
Motocycle CuBots
Pretty self explanatory. They carry double-barreled shotguns.
Ant CuBots
CuBots built around ants. They can burrow underground and sneak up on people.
Funny CuBots
CuBots themed after the Awesome Face internet meme.
The CuBot Alpha
As far as I'm aware, the CuBot Alpha's design or fighting style was never revealed, so I just used the redesigned CuBot from the Flash of Shadows April Fools' Day 2020 trailer. In this story, it's a giant CuBot with a gun that can turn into a baton.
The CuBot Warship
The CuBot Warship is a warship stationed out in the sea. It is a self-controlled ship that does not require a captain.
No image was ever revealed to my knowledge, so you're just gonna have to use your imagination for what it looks like. It's basically a black warship with red accents. That shouldn't be hard to imagine.
Captain Forever
Captain Forever is a character I made up myself specifically for this story. He is a CuBot wearing a sailor hat who serves as the "captain" of the CuBot Warship. His name and being the captain of a ship is a reference to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure character Forever, which itself is named after the Wu-Tang Clan album Wu-Tang Forever.
The CuBot Base
Umbra's base of operation. Modeled after the Death Star from the Star Wars franchise. Although it doesn't have the ability to blow up planets and is purely just a space station. Otherwise the story would be over before the first chapter.
