"These happy little robot worker bots are the most critical component of any successful Vanguard force. B.O.B.s harvest resources, build structures, repair mechanical units, and can even muster a solid defense in a pinch."

- Unit description(src)

B.O.B. is a "smiley faced" worker unit of the Vanguard.

Overview[]

B.O.B.s are human-designed construction robots,[1] and are the most vital component of any Vanguard force.[2]

Gameplay[]

B.O.B.s can harvest resources, build structures, repair mechanical units, and can be used to defend a Resistance base. Multiple B.O.B.s can work on a single structure at a time, reducing its construction time. They are produced from the command post.[3] It takes a long time for a B.O.B. to mine a resource (at least therium), but their travel time is comparatively reduced.[4]

Skills[]

  • Repair: B.O.B.s can repair friendly mechanical units.[4]
  • Overcharge: B.O.B.s can be buffed by the command post's overcharge ability. When used, nearby B.O.B.s are overcharged, increasing their speed and armor as their power is diverted to their combat systems.[3]

Traits[]

Trivia[]

  • Per the development lineage of Frost Giant Studios, B.O.B.s can be compared to:
    • SCVs from StarCraft, whose functions are identical to that of B.O.B.s
    • Peasants from Warcraft, who also have similar properties.
    • B.O.B from Overwatch, who like the B.O.B.s of Stormgate, is a bi-pedal robot.
