Combot

[edit] Introduction
Combot acted as a replacement for Mokujin in Tekken 4. Unlike Mokujin, however, Combot did not assume the fighting style of a different fighter every round. Instead, a randomly chosen fighting style lasted for an entire match. This change was not popular among fans, and Mokujin was reinstated in Tekken 5, along with his original style of random selection from Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament.
[edit] Trivia
- The second Combot was created in Lee Chaolan's Tekken 4 ending. During a combat experiment against Heihachi Mishima, the second Combot unleashed a fifty-hit combination. Lee's secretary remarks, "Heihachi was completely helpless."
- In the Tekken 4 mini-game "Tekken Force," Combot is the boss for the first stage, the "Laboratory."
- Combot is unlocked after beating the game nine times.
[edit] Story
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. Chaolan entered the tournament himself using an alias, Violet.
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 King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.
Lee Chaolan’s plan was to have Combot 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.
[edit] Ending Animation "Combot Fin"
The words "Combot wins" are shown on the screen as the crowd yells in excitement. The fence around the arena goes down. As Combot takes in the applause and excitement from the crowd, Lee comes in and congratulates Combot. He then states that the world is his for the taking as he walks over to give Combot a hug. Combot eyes flash; he grabs Lee, and instead of huging him, Combot spanks Lee and throws him somewhere. The crowd continues to cheer as Combot does a couple of poses before the end.
