Beetle Drones are beetle-like robots that make up the standard infantry of Aku's minions after the X-Models. They are created, and upgraded, by Aku's evil scientists. Beetle Drones crawl on land like actual insects but when they are in battle mode, they stand up on two legs. They could travel in great speed on both land and air. They were armed with four powerful scythes attached to their body. Though effective machines, they were no match for the skills of Samurai Jack. However, in sufficient numbers, they can and have proven dangerous to even Jack. Later they were upgraded with insect-like wings on their back which allowed them to fly.
