Nindroid Warrior is a character that appears in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. It is an advanced combat robot designed by Cyrus Borg under the Digital Overlord's influence, and forms the heart of the evil Nindroid army.
Based on Zane's blueprints, Nindroid Warriors are said to be superior to the Ninja of Ice in every way; being stronger, faster, capable of cloaking themselves, and utterly emotionless.
History
The Surge
The Nindroid Warriors were created in the factory of Borg Tower under the supervision of P.I.X.A.L. who had obtained blueprints for them when she had scanned Zane earlier.
The Art of the Silent Fist
Nindroid Warriors were dispersed throughout Ninjago to protect the Overlord's vital assets (such as the Power Station), establish security perimeters, and locate the Techno Blades. A group of them lead by P.I.X.A.L. were sent to Garmadon's Monastery where they faced off against the Ninja for the first time. However they were all deactivated when the Ninja destroyed the Power station.
Blackout
Some Nindroid Warriors were reawakened by Techno Wu at Ed and Edna's Scrap N' Junk using Electrocobrai.
The Curse of the Golden Master
In order to obtain the Golden Ninja, the Overlord dispatched two squads of Nindroids. The first was led by General Cryptor, which attacked the Ninja and Serpentine in the Stone Army Tomb. They however were just a distraction as the second squad (lead by Techno Wu was sent to Hiroshi's Labyrinth to capture Lloyd.
Enter the Digiverse
More Nindroid Warriors (presumably reactivated by Pythor) attacked Borg Tower to stop the Ninja from interfering with the Digital Overlord.
Codename: Arcturus
Nindroid Warriors including Min-Droid attacked Kai on the Nindroid Train.
The Void
Several Nindroid Warriors accompanied General Cryptor and Min-Droid on the mission to retrieve the Golden Weapons from the Arcturus comet.
The Titanium Ninja
A number of Nindroid Warriors were seen at Borg Industries, lined up to welcome the reborn Overlord and prepared to conquer New Ninjago City. Later on, they pursued the Ninja and tried to break the forcefield around the Temple of Fortitude , but Nya used General Cryptor's Destructoid to blast them.
The Invitation
Some of the remaining Nindroids were converted into Security Droids to protect the Golden Armor on the Secluded Island.
The Greatest Fear of All
Some Nindroids were placed in Kryptarium Prison. When No-Eyed Pete opened all the cells, the captive Nindroid Warriors faced off against Zane, but thanks to the original's upgrade, they were no match for the Titanium Ninja.
Lego.com Description
Nindroids are high-tech fighting machines manufactured based upon the blueprints of Zane. But they are the next generation of artificial warriors, stronger, faster, and more agile than Zane has ever been. In addition, they have cloaking abilities that let them turn invisible. This mechanical army serves the Digital Overlord. Where Zane is able to feel friendship and more, Nindroids have no emotions. They are completely cold and totally focused on accomplishing their mission. Nindroids cannot be reasoned with or frightened off and they will only do strategic retreats if it seems that defeat is inevitable.
Trivia
- Unlike Cryptor and Min-Droid, many Nindroid Warriors survived the Golden Master's defeat. They have been repurposed as security drones for Cyrus Borg.
