The Bugfixers are designed to be a midgame to lategame enemy, durable and dangerous to face up against. They are designed to be encountered in groups, however they should not spawn frequently. Bugfixers are not the fastest of enemies, but they make up for this in range and firepower. Damage absorbing shields are a staple among all Bugfixers, but they will break, and can recharge if undamaged. Within the confines of our Starbound world, there are a myriad of diverse cultures and species, sights of absolute beauty and wonder. Accompanied by this there are also horrors beyond comprehension and chaos, unpredictable and destructive. The Bugfixers of a planet on the edge of the universe, Deraperton, are a race of large humanoid mechanical automations. Their race is plagued with an unwavering obsession for order and technological advance, quickly evolving from simple crude bots to technologically advanced civilisation. In addition, they have an quest for order and a journey without end, to force the technological advance of other races, to progress. Their main target of their conquest are the Glitch, who are unable to progress and have failed to forgo any technological advance past the medieval age. This crusade has shaped them into a primarily military based race, where there is not a speck of emtions to be found across the wide sea of bugfixers that may knock on your granite caveman door. Their geographical location on which the Bugfixers are based has caused problems for reaching every corner of the universe, but they will reach them in due time, eventually. The planet of Deraperton, homeworld of the Bugfixers. The ground is not dirt, and what grows ontop is not grass. What roams the earth are not penguins, there are no birds nor bees. Nothing will ever grow here, the King of the Jungle is long gone, for this is their world, theirs to command. To all outsiders, this planet is but an impenitrable fortress, those who venture to disrupt their order, are obliterated and sent back out into space as ash and embers.

cool it would be nice to have the bug fixer as an enemy! edit: oh, I finally get what you mean by bugfixer lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT FREAKING NAME, incredible idea, would like to see in-game +1 Edit: I would freakin' love to have that draining-whip-weapon-thingy as a in-game weapon, MAKE IT HAPPEN TIY!
The fiery heat of the Bugfixer Hellgores are too much! Tell me, people of the internet, what else would you like to see?
Well seeing as the extra jetpacks will probably make more of those tracking balls, and it might me faster/harder to hit. that would make it harder to beat. Also being purple might mean that it is made of a harder metal. edit: Read the description.
