Coyote 4.0

Coyote is a robot, or rather, a succession of robots, designed by Xanatos, mainly for the purposes of leading the Pack. So far four have been built, and at least three more will be constructed in the future.

History

Coyote 1.0 was an exact robotic lookalike of Xanatos, who, with Dingo's assistance, broke Wolf, Jackal, and Hyena out of Rikers Island and led them against the gargoyles. During the battle with the clan aboard the oil tanker Otoshiana Maru, its true nature was revealed when Bronx gnawed half its face off, giving it a half-Xanatos half-robot appearance, and Lexington then destroyed it, except for its head which escaped ("Leader of the Pack").

Xanatos recovered the head and made it part of Coyote 2.0, a more powerful and less humanoid robot who became part of the upgraded Pack and led it against Goliath's clan. It was finally destroyed in a collision with a train, and its half-Xanatos half-robot head destroyed separately by Goliath ("Upgrade").

Xanatos built a third Coyote robot and sent it with Jackal, Hyena, and Wolf to Egypt, to assist the Emir in the summoning of Anubis. Coyote 3.0 still bore the image of a half-Xanatos half-robotic face, although now as an image on its monitor screen rather than as an actual physical feature. It was reduced to a pile of rust by Jackal when he became an avatar of Anubis ("Grief").

Coyote 4.0 was built by Xanatos (at least, in part) out of the iron that the Cauldron of Life had been originally made from; he brought it with him to Arizona to use in capturing Coyote the Trickster (who was not amused by the robot’s sharing his name and even threatened to sue Xanatos for copyright infringement). The iron that Coyote 4.0 was made of allowed it to temporarily contain Coyote the Trickster, but the latter finally escaped and tricked the robot into bringing a pile of steel girders down upon itself, crushing it ("Cloud Fathers").

In the immediate future, three more Coyote robots, at least, will be built. Coyote 5.0 will be connected in some way to Coldsteel, although how is as yet unknown. Coyote 6.0 will set up the Ultra-Pack - whether on its own initiative, or upon instructions for somebody else, is also as yet unknown - and Coyote 7.0 will actually lead the Ultra-Pack into battle.

By 2198, the line of Coyote robots has culminated in the figure of Coyote-X. The exact identity of Coyote-X's builder is unknown, but the 2198 edition of this robot has become a very cunning and ambitious figure with designs to take over the world. After the Space-Spawn invade Earth, however, he expands his ambition to the conquest of the entire galaxy.

Characteristics

Hyena has a strong infatuation with the first three Coyote robots (she never met Coyote 4.0), which none of them have returned. (It is, indeed, questionable as to whether the Coyote series of robots is even capable of emotion).

It is more than likely that Xanatos christened the Coyote robots thus, not only to fit in with the "wild dog" imagery in the Pack's names, but also as a reference to Coyote the Trickster, in light of the fact that Coyote 1.0 was an exact physical duplicate of Xanatos, and the following three have Xanatos' voice and part of his visage. Xanatos, after all, is himself a trickster.

Production Background

Voice Actor: Jonathan Frakes

In an earlier version of the series bible, Coyote was CY.O.T.I. (CYber-Operational Technical Intelligence). He was a robotic coyote head that could fasten itself to different robot bodies and serve as an automated pilot.
