Steambot

The Steambots are sentry robots designed to guard areas of SkyTown, Elysia. They mainly serve as the "elite soldiers" of the Steamlords. Steambots are similar in form to Tinbots but have more weight, heavier armor, and carry an additional Missile Launcher on their backs, as well as being more bronze in color. Like their "cousins", these bots are still vulnerable to the Plasma Beam.
==Description==
Steambots seem to have been built both as better soldiers to replace the Tinbots and as combat support units for the Steamlords. If a Steambot is damaged extensively with conventional weaponry, they will fall to pieces. They are then able to be reassembled by a Steamlord and put them back in action. It is unknown if the reason that Steambots fall apart like this is merely poor craftsmanship or a failsafe to allow easy repair by the Steamlords. Like the Tinbot, the Steambot's arms can be shot or Bombed off to reduce its offensive capability. However, when the Steamlord re-assembles a fallen Steambot, both the arms will be repaired. Their greatest vulnerability is extreme heat, which can distort the machinery inside them and in extreme cases (such as the Plasma Beam) melt them completely. If melted, the Steambot is unable to be reassembled by a Steamlord.
Steambots possess identical attack tactics as Tinbots and even inflict the same amount of damage. One attack exclusive to the Steambot is a mounted missile launcher, where at times during battle, a homing missile will be fired directly at Samus. These missiles can be shot down before they reach their intended target. If one of its arms is lost during battle, a Steambot will spin around and release a high-pressure fume of steam around it (hence the robot's name). The steam can slightly impair Samus's visor, while the spin can cause minor knockback damage on contact.
Samus encounters three sets of Steambots on separate occasions during her visits to Skytown:
*First encountered in the Steambot Barracks inside Elysian recharge chambers, they are activated when Samus tries to leave, which may suggest that they were built as security robots. They can be destroyed fairly easily, however the Steamlord can reconstruct them after they have fallen. This will happen continuously until the Steamlord controlling them is defeated, severing their command link.
*Appearing once more in the wide-open room of Skybridge Hera, a Steamlord appears and activates Steambots in order to halt Samus's progress. If Samus ignores the Steambots and pulls the nearby grated fence, the Steambots will all fall to their doom along with the broken bridge, earning Samus the "Stylish Kill" Friend Voucher. 
*After Samus obtains the Grapple Voltage and returns to the Ballista Storage, a Steamlord will be present with a small army of Steambots. Should all the Steambots be melted away, the Steamlord will have no further choice but to assault Samus directly with its electrical attack.
