Automatons



All the knowledge and power of magic will mean little to nothing if Equestria becomes hobbled by unacceptable losses.

And even with all of the spells at their disposal that provide healing and protection to their Soldiers, they can only go so far in reducing the risk of casualties and not preventing them altogether.

Because of this, the Equestrian Military cannot afford to trade pony for pony with an opponent that has numerical and qualitative superiority if they are to have any chance of survival and victory.

And fortunately for them, they have found a very ingenious solution that will allow them to raise their numbers without having to draw so heavily upon their population base.

Automatons, a combination of Magic and Technology, are self-operating mechanical constructs that are made entirely of metal and animated by a spark of immense magical energy.

A product of many years of Magitech research and development, these creations are an insidious threat to the enemies of Equestria for the fact that they can soak up tremendous amounts of battle damage before going down.

And an even greater bonus for Equestria is that they will never hunger, tire, nor be mind-controlled into turning against their creators.
