(Added a lot of information, quotes and other stuff on the Mechanoid Centipede so far. Will continue with the body parts soon.)
(Added a lot to Mechanoid page. Feel free to expand on any of it, this is just a rough first pass.)

"Heavy combat mechanoids that glide on dozens of tiny legs. Their heavy armor and firepower makes them very effective against bunched-up static defenders. They are somewhat vulnerable to mobile hit-and-run tactics."

— In-game description

Biology

Centipedes appear to consist entirely of mechanical parts, and are mostly composed of very large 'rings' that make their appearance similar to that of a real-life centipede. Despite being somewhat sluggish (in movement and appearance), they are immensely durable and can absorb a significant amount of fire before they are even disabled or killed.

Centipedes have six body rings, several sensors for hearing, sight, and smell, and an artificial brain that drives them. Interestingly enough, they lack any sort of communication parts and always spawn with their communication indicated as 'None', or no ability to. The only other external body part a centipede has other than its rings is its head, making it very difficult to actually kill a centipede.

Diet

Centipedes are machines, and machines don't need to eat - but they do need some source of power.

Currently, it is unknown what power source or other source of energy the Centipede uses.

Combat

Centipedes are generally equipped with either a Minigun, Inferno Cannon, or Heavy Charge Blaster on semi-rare occasions, but are also able to engage in melee combat with colonists.

Melee Attacks Damage Amount
Bluegon 50

Their melee attack is the second-highest damaging attack in the game, only surpassed by the EMP Grenade.

Body Parts (Summary)

Centipedes are actually very simplistic and robust in design, with not that many parts overall. Their obvious weakness is that they're able to be severed in two, rapidly reducing their ability to move (which may eventually incapacitate them).

  • Note: Centipedes of a health scale of 2.0 - meaning their parts have twice the health of body parts listed in the files.

Scythers, are fast moving and dangerous Mechanoids.

Biology

Scythers, although mechanical and not-very-human looking, are actually almost the same in structure as a typical human (minus most the organs). However, they're clearly faster and more durable than humans, don't feel pain and do not fear for their life - they don't even use cover.

They have two arms, run on two legs, and (surprisingly) have a neck and make vocal communication. Why a machine would use standard human-like air-based vocalization is unknown at this time - especially when Centipedes are completely unable to manually communicate.

Diet

Much like Centipedes, it's unknown what exactly drives a Scyther, but it's likely it would be similar to whatever powers the Centipede.

Combat

Scythers are usually seen carrying their Charge Lance into battle, but are able to engage in melee.

Melee Attacks Damage Amount
Bluegon 24

Body Parts (Summary)

Scythers, again, are practically humans in biology, although they lack many of the human organs and bones.

  • Note: Centipedes of a health scale of 1.5 - meaning their parts have ×1.5 the health of body parts listed in the files.

Body Parts (Detailed)

Body Rings

Everything is built off of the Centipede's first body ring - the head, and second body ring are connected to the first ring, while the rest of the rings chain off (second ring connected to third, third connected to fourth, etc).

Body rings enable the Centipede to move and work, as there are many tiny, tiny legs that are connected to the body rings (not listed under body parts).

Artificial Brain

Required for overall function and function of any Mechanoid. Without this, a Mechanoid is simply an empty husk of mechanical parts.

Sensors

Sight sensors for seeing, hearing sensors for hearing, and smell sensors for smell.

It's worth noting that smell is not yet implemented in the game, so destroying a smelling sensor doesn't harm a Mechanoid overall since they do not feel pain.
