  • Mechlops are, as the name suggests, robots modelled after the Triclops species native to Tallon IV. Found scurrying back and forth in the Sanctuary Fortress, these mechanoids were originally built by the Luminoth after they failed to domesticate and train the actual Tallonian creatures for unknown uses during their war with the Ing. Having perfectly recreated them through the Mechlops, the Luminoth were now capable of putting to use the earthmoving strength found within the Triclops. Mechlops only appear in the Dynamo Access.
  • The Mechlops is a Luminoth robot created after a failed attempt to domesticate the Triclops. It's use by the Luminoth was not clear, but it is known that they were used in the war against the Ing. The Mechlops has the same build as a Triclops, with three jaws, stubby legs and nigh-impenitreble armor. It sucks up anything the size of a Morph Ball into its jaws and carries it out of its lair, but a good struggle will make it drop the object it is carrying. Fortunately, the rogue robots inherit its derivative's stupidity, and will eagerly scoop up Bombs into their vulnerable jaws. Having perfectly recreated them through the Mechlops, the Luminoth were now capable of putting to use the earthmoving strength found within the Triclops. The Mechlops can be found in the Sanctuary Fortress.

Text
  • The Luminoth tried to domesticate and train a number of Triclops for use in the war, but failed. Undaunted, they created mechanical versions of the hardy creatures to use in battle. The few Mechlops that remain now serve the Ing, turning their potent jaws and earthmoving power against their former masters.

  • The Mechlops is a Luminoth robot created after a failed attempt to domesticate the Triclops. It's use by the Luminoth was not clear, but it is known that they were used in the war against the Ing. The Mechlops has the same build as a Triclops, with three jaws, stubby legs and nigh-impenitreble armor. It sucks up anything the size of a Morph Ball into its jaws and carries it out of its lair, but a good struggle will make it drop the object it is carrying. Fortunately, the rogue robots inherit its derivative's stupidity, and will eagerly scoop up Bombs into their vulnerable jaws. Having perfectly recreated them through the Mechlops, the Luminoth were now capable of putting to use the earthmoving strength found within the Triclops. The Mechlops can be found in the Sanctuary Fortress. After the Luminoth were forced to abandon their fortress, these mechanoids went rogue and now serve the Ing Horde. They patrol small passages beneath floors.
  • Mechlops are, as the name suggests, robots modelled after the Triclops species native to Tallon IV. Found scurrying back and forth in the Sanctuary Fortress, these mechanoids were originally built by the Luminoth after they failed to domesticate and train the actual Tallonian creatures for unknown uses during their war with the Ing. Having perfectly recreated them through the Mechlops, the Luminoth were now capable of putting to use the earthmoving strength found within the Triclops. After the Luminoth were forced to abandon their fortress, these mechanoids have since gone rogue and now serve the Ing Horde. They patrol small passages beneath floors which Samus can only access using her Morph Ball ability. If she is detected by them, they will utilize a sort of magnetic pull that will drag Samus into their jaws. Once grabbed, they will forcefully throw her out into the opening she used to enter the Morph Ball passage, causing damage as they do so. By using a Bomb the moment she is detected by a Mechlops, the weapon will get sucked into its pincers instead and the mechanoid will attempt to remove it from its environment like it would with Samus, only to explode moments later when the Bomb detonates. While this behavior is seemingly identical to that of a real Triclops', in the case of the Mechlops it appears to be a deliberate act to prevent Samus from pursuing her goals, given the fact that their scan mentions they are now loyal to the Ing. Mechlops only appear in the Dynamo Access.
