The standard security and infantry units of Robotnik's forces, SWATbots have two standard models. The first and most common comes armed with wrist mounted lasers, but some squads carry blaster rifles or use other ordinance. They come equipped with flashlights in their fingertips. The second model is a red variety whose lower torso has been replaced by a hover sled. They're faster than the legged SWATbots and come equipped with dual lasers.
SWATbots are generally larger and stronger than the average thrope, however because they're mass produced and considered expendable they're typically cheaply constructed and aren't intelligent or hard to destroy. Their greatest strength is that they usually patrol or are called out in numbers.
