History
Zeo
The Cogs can only be defeated by short circuiting or disassembly, and are produced at the rate of one per hour. Their helmet can open up and fire eye beams at their targets. Their primary weapons are spears with an electric charge tip, some could also fire blasts of energy. The Cogs also come with a silver or gunmetal body as well as piloting the Quadrafighters.
Like the Tenga Warriors before them, Cogs are capable of fluently speaking English, albeit in a monotone robotic voice.
In Space
The Cogs are seen with the Machine Empire during the reunion of the United Alliance of Evil.
