Steam Ages - Day 19

The invention of Clockwork Zombies has spurred nothing but controversy among the many zombie labor unions. Some think they're a threat to the very unlivelyhoods that the workplace is meant to provide for. Others are critical of their sudden appearance. In general, a lot of mystery and paranoia surrounds their existence. But none know what Mechanic Zombie knows. None of them have noticed the plummeting number of fish in the River Thames as of recently...

**Mechanic Zombie** is the fifth unique zombie encountered in Steam Ages. He arrives by pushing a huge machine and stays at the rightmost side of the lawn. He will then periodically produce Clockwork Zombies from his machine and will continue to do so until he is defeated. While he is stationed at the rightmost side of the lawn, most plants that are planted on the tiles he stays on will be immediately crushed, with the exceptions being most instant-use plants.

Contrary to what one may believe, E.M.Peach is ineffective against Mechanic Zombie. Although, he cannot be repaired by Repairimp's repair stations.

## Trivia

* Mr. Boss-inator, one of the animators for the mod, created an OC based on Mechanic Zombie, named "Moss Mechanic".
	+ Moss Mechanic is an alternate version of Mechanic Zombie created after one of the level designers for the mod, Volcanic Jay, kept jokingly asking where the Mechanic Zombie's animations were during the zombie's development.
	+ This led to Mr. Boss-inator making a short animation where Moss Mechanic told Volcanic Jay "Do not rush art." The animation and quote would eventually become a recurring inside joke among developers.
* If Mechanic Zombie was buttered while cranking out a Clockwork Zombie, both zombies will have butter on their faces.
