Scout Robots appear in Mann vs. Machine as enemies.

Normal Variants

Scout

The regular Scout robots are the most common bots in Mann vs. Machine. Like the regular Scout, they are fast but weak. To counteract their fragility, they often come in large numbers. Scout robots in early waves wield only the default bat, making them a very minor threat. However, they can easily overrun a player in numbers if they get too close. Later, these robots are seen to wield the Scattergun, making them more dangerous up close, and others will have Bonk! Atomic Punch. Scout robots are intended more for running the bomb to the hatch rather than to pose a true threat to players.

Minor League Scout

Batter's Helmet


These Scouts are equipped with the Batter's Helmet and the Sandman, which the robots use to a great extent. The Minor League Scout will attempt to stun players as it moves towards the bomb. If it manages to stun a player near enemies and no other players are nearby, it can pose a major threat, leaving players defenseless to the oncoming waves, but otherwise it poses no major threat.

Giant Variants

Super Scout

The Super Scout is the fastest robot in the game, moving at double the regular Scout robots' pace, far outstripping any other robots or players. They can be identified by their Bonk Boy and are equipped with Bonk! Atomic Punch. They are not dangerous in combat or particularly durable but they can very quickly deliver the bomb and end a round against poorly prepared teams. The Super Scout should be a high priority target, and slowing weapons such as Natascha will prove very useful against it.

Major League Scout

A bigger, badder version of the Minor League Scout, with the same loadout, though the Major League Scout can shoot his baseballs often, hitting a ball every second or so. The Major League Scout moves at the same speed as its smaller counterparts, but not quite as fast as the Super Scout. Nonetheless, the Major League Scout can often be the cause of a round failure, considering its speed and ability to stun players.

Trivia

  • The Scout Robots have a custom taunt in which they jump while spinning, then smack their bottom at the player.
