Sleeper Mechs

The Sleeper Mechs were an army of humanoid robots used as shock troopers and bodyguards by the HYDRA remnants led by Hale, in her campaign against S.H.I.E.L.D. They were the result of failed attempts by Anton Ivanov to create new Life-Model Decoys after the death of Aida.
==History==
Sleeper Mechs were constructed by Anton Ivanov who was coerced by Hale to join HYDRA. Originally, Ivanov intended to re-create the Life-Model Decoys, however, he figured that he lost the ability to make the LMDS due to Aida's death. Admitting his creations as tools for battle, HYDRA used Ivanov's Mechs as shock troopers.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 5.14: The Devil Complex
Sleeper Mechs was stationed by HYDRA at the Principia, which was floating in the air, to secure a Cybertek shipment of Gravitonium. After the majority of the sample was safely transported off of the ship, several robots were left dormant in the ship as sentries, waiting to ambush any potential future intruders.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 5.13: Principia
During the Infiltration into St. Louis Aerospace Facility, the mechs accompanied Ruby Hale to ambush the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who were distracted by Piper. They held agents Yo-Yo Rodriguez, Melinda May, and Alphonso Mackenzie at gunpoint. On orders from Ruby, they attempted to execute the agents but were relieved of their weapons by Rodriguez. In reaction, the robots charged to engage the agents in hand-to-hand combat, holding S.H.I.E.L.D. back before the agents managed to escape, albeit with the loss of Rodriguez's arms.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 5.11: All the Comforts of Home
Several Sleepers accosted Werner von Strucker when he threatened Ruby. Once von Strucker reached an understanding with Hale and ceased hostility, the mechs forcefully escorted Strucker to his room.
The Sleepers left on the Principia were activated after sensing S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Alphonso Mackenzie, Daisy Johnson, and Phil Coulson on the ship. They awakened and attacked the agents, but were easily defeated before the ship plunged out of the sky. However, one mechs was taken from the ship to the Lighthouse by Mackenzie. The arms of this mech were taken off and given to Yo-Yo Rodriguez.
Fitz in his Doctor persona was working on a mech. Later, another mech came and attacked Mack. Yet another sleeper mech arrived and choked Daisy Johnson.
The mech that Fitz was working on returned, and was programmed to follow his orders. It held Jemma Simmons at gunpoint while Fitz took Daisy's inhibitor out.
When Coulson was at the Hydra Preparatory Academy, he was escorted to his room by a sleeper mech.

Sleeper mechs attacked Coulson while he was escaping the Academy with Creel and Talbot. One of them punched Coulson violently, putting him in cardiac arrest.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 5.16: Inside Voices
