How It's Done — Teth

Update 11.2 in War Robots is dedicated to the Yan-Di faction, and we thought it would be fitting to continue the Egyptian theme in it. After all, robots in this style are always rich in gold design elements, and Yan-Di’s love for this metal is hard to overstate. That’s how the robot Teth came to be.

As a reference, we used the Egyptian god Set, but we deliberately chose not to use his name and came up with "Teth" instead. This is the kind of robot that, for example, could have been created by followers of the cult of Set in the War Robots universe

Our previous robots in the "Egyptian" style: Ophion, Scorpion, and Khepri

Set is the god of war, rage, and chaos. That fits us well, so we looked at how the ancient Egyptians typically depicted him. He often had the head of an aardvark, red eyes, and long ears — elements we incorporated into our design. And a bit of Stargate
