Battlefield Heroes: Robots v2

Battlefield Heroes: Robots v2 is a themed update for Battlefield Heroes. The theme centers around a robotic theme predominantly on the Moon, featuring multiple references to, specifically the 2011 instalment. The update was released on January 16th, 2013, as a subsequent content update for the Robots update. A following content drop was also released in February 2013.

Story
The 1943 newsreel News From Around the World, created by The World Gazette, begins to detail the progress of the Space Race between the Royal Army and National Army, furthering scientific developments in the meantime. After a reported slow start to their space program, the National Army launch their first surveillance satellite into low Earth orbit (containing a National soldier attached to solar panels with a pair of binoculars). Meanwhile, fighting continues on the Moon between the two factions, as the faction scientists declares the Moon "safe" for exploration by robots. The robots were then transported to the Moon, where it was attempted to be mined for resources. However, the pickaxes provided to the first wave of robots were fragile and inadequate. As reported by the Royal Tribune, the robots eventually become unsatisfied with the work, then unionize and engage in strikes. This strike depleted resources for the armies back on Earth, which forced the factions to resort to makeshift versions of proper army supplies, such as the Royal Army Prototype 4B, Model 2505 MK-3 Light Tank, being a truck covered in thin metal sheets. To face the resource depletion, the scientists then develop an upgrade program for the robots, to give them the ability to properly extract the Moon's resources. Despite being able to mine, the new robots become disinterested with mining, and instead join the fight between the two factions on the Moon.
