The Steel Clan is a group of Goliath-shaped robots built by Xanatos.
History
Secretly manufactured by the Scarab Corporation, Xanatos initially built the robots using the information that he had obtained from the three computer disks which he tricked the gargoyles into stealing from Cyberbiotics for him. [1]
After creating the Steel Clan, Xanatos tested them out by having them attack Goliath's clan. Xanatos assumed that the robots' metal bodies, total obedience, and freedom from the need for stone sleep would make them superior to the real gargoyles. Fortunately, the programming of the first Steel Clan robots was simple enough that Goliath and the other gargoyles were able to destroy them with relative ease. ("Awakening: Part Five")
Xanatos built more, however, and continued to improve on their programming. During the time that he spent in prison, he had one of these robots attack Goliath, and draw blood from him. This blood was then used by Sevarius to obtain the cell samples needed to create Thailog. ("Double Jeopardy") When Xanatos clashed with the gargoyles at the Statue of Liberty and the George Washington Bridge following his release from prison, he was accompanied by fresh Steel Clan robots although they were soon defeated. He also used them to frighten the citizens of New York City while he himself (in a new exo-suit armor that looked nearly identical to a Steel Clan robot except for the coloring) stole the Eye of Odin from the Museum of Modern Art and to help spread the hypergolic gas needed to break Demona's "stone by night" curse throughout the sky over Manhattan. ("The Edge", "City of Stone" Part Four)
More recently, Xanatos also used some more Steel Clan robots to recapture Coldstone in the Himalayas, and some time later, used another Steel Clan robot to battle the gargoyles who were protecting the Stone of Destiny in London. ("Possession", "Rock & Roll")
A similar group of robots called the Iron Clan has also been built, specifically to combat Oberon. ("The Gathering" Part Two)
Characteristics
The Steel Clan robots possess rockets on their backs along with stabilizers on their feet which allow flight, and razor-sharp wings for maneuverability.
They are equipped with retractable arm-cannons on their right forearms along with razor-sharp talons. The second batch onwards were capable of generating electricity along their bodies to prevent enemies from coming into physical contact with them.
Their programming is still primitive as they continue to make similar mistakes, such as flying into buildings and each other.
