#redirect {{OrksPortal}}'''Runtbotz''' are a type of simplified [[Ork Energy ]] [[Tinboyz]], that accompany herds of [[Gretchin]] and [[Snotlings]] into battle. Some are designed to look a bit like miniature [[Gargant]]s{{Fn|1}}, while others are shaped like Ork warriors and they are controlled by a single Gretchin with a '''kontrol pad'''.{{Fn|2}} ==Description==As the [[Gretchin]] and [[Snotling]]s have been taught to think of the Runtbotz as their friends and protectors, they will always closely follow the [[Tinboyz]]. In order to defend them as they move, the Runtbotz are equipped with a large '''Runtbot Force Field''', that extends a protective umbrella over the small Greenskins that congregate around the Tinboyz. This force field, however, is especially prone to malfunction.{{Fn|1}} Runtbotz can also be equipped with a [[Bomb Lobber]], that can automatically throw [[Smoke Stikkbombz]], that are carried in armored boxes on either side of their body. These '''Runtbot Bomb Lobbers''', will lob the Stikkbombz in front of themselves, which create a cloud of smoke that offers some cover for the small Greenskins following them. A drawback, though, is that the Bomb Lobbers will only work, when the Runtbotz' Force Fields#are not activated.{{Fn|1}} ==Notes==The company [[Forge World (company)|Forge World]] released an exclusive Runtbot miniature for the '''Games Day 2010''' event.{{Fn|2}} <center><gallery>File:Runtbot.jpg|[[Gargant]]-shaped Runtbot{{Fn|1}}File:Runtbot2.jpg|Gargant-shaped Runtbot{{Fn|1}}File:Forge_World_Runtbot.jpg|[[Ork]] warrior-shaped Runtbot{{Fn|2}}</gallery></center> ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}:[['Ere We Go: Orks in Warhammer 40,000]], pgs. 93-94*{{Endn|2}}: [https://ifelix.net/jimbos-workbench/warhammer-40k-workbench/ork-workbench/forge-world-runt-bot-and-grot Felix's Gaming Pages: Forge World Runt Bot and Grot – Warhammer 40,000 (posted 5/4/2021)] (Last on accessed 5/4/2021) [[Category:Artificial Beings]][[Category:Technology (Orks)]]
