Story

The Corporate Wars have begun with weapons powered by the new turbo-breeder, "Super Fission" reactors. Burning with a cold dark flame at the core of these reactors is the rare, extraterrestrial element, "Meridium", which was discovered by the Interplanetary Mining Corporation (IMC) on a misbegotten planet known as "Mandlebrot's World", located eight light years from Earth. A colony is soon established on Mandlebrot and it's manned by a small team of miners using the latest robotics mining and defense machines - the Battlebots. But when MOSES (Multicameral Organic Synergistic Energized System), the colony's bio-computerized operating system, is infected with a virus by a saboteur from a rival mining company, BioMechanical Incorporated (BioMech), all hell breaks loose. MOSES turns the Battlebots on the colonists. The Battlebots imprison the colonists and transform Mandlebrot into a heavily armed fortress. IMC immediately dispatches the BATTLECORPS combat-hardened veterans of the Corporate Wars.
