The Matbots
The matbots were created by a benevolent god and planet-like robotic being known as Matus. After Matus used his energy in creating them, he went into stasis and the Matbots colonized on him.
Matbot 7 was a gladiator hailing from a no-name city on the planet Matatron. He was once known as Matbot Sigma. He met his future leader, Matbot Phi, who would later be known as Matbot 1 and his old friend Matatronus in the arenas.
Civil War
Uknown to any of the matbots, a malevoent god had sent some of his heralds to infiltrate their planet's government and weaken the Matbots in preparation for invasion in which he would ultimately destroy his old rival, Matus. This god was another planet-like robot was known as Maticron. Both Matatronus and Matbot Phi agreed that something needed to be done about the newest laws. However Matbot Phi was deluded into thinking that the system would work in his favor, while Matatronus decided to take a more...direct approach in solving their problems. Matatrous killed several high ranking members of the high council including every last of the matbot primearchs. Matbot Phi inherited the Nexus of Leadership from the last remaining primarchs, learning of the moles and put together a rag-tag army including Matbot 7.
While they were ultimately forever torn apart Matbot Phi, now Matbot 1 due to his rank and Matatronus, Now the self-proclaimed Matbot 3 would have to join forces one more time to remove the moles Matbot 7 was a key player in this event. Afterward, Matbot 3 failed at a backstab on an already wary Matbot 1 and fled the planet knowing that the war had wasted all of it's resources and knowing that Maticron would destroy it anyway. Matbot 1 and his team of remaining matbots, who were all odd ranked while Matbot 3's army was all even ranked, gave chase while leaving a skeleton crew to watch for Maticron. Matbot 7 joined the group that headed for earth.
Arrival on earth
No data was recorded on the matbot's first visit and one may guess that it was short lived as Maticron may have arrived at their homeworld sooner than expected. They left Matbot 7 on earth as a communications officer and to further protect earth after they already pledged to do so. Most likely also to send them mattergon, the power source of the matbots. However all of the even numbered matbots also seem to have had left at the same time. Matbot 7 moved to paragon at the time as that city seemed to be in more need of heroes than most others.
Allies' and Enemies' return to Earth
After many years of battle against Maticron the Matbots all returned to earth. The odd numbered Matbots joined Matbot 7 in paragon city while the even ones decided to also go by the Matcons and arrived in the rouge isles where there was more opportunity to do evil and get away with it.
