On hits, which they execute in a bizarre and brutal fashion, many victims are found dismembered, skinned alive, or found in wet concrete. The Leader who they call 'Bruce' is a large, psychopathic physically imposing man. He violently took over one of the key Automaton crews in the city from it's last owner in their infamous combative rituals, as the saying goes 'two men enter, one man leaves'. A combat gang, with their activities centering around the "Automaton code". Elaborate combat rituals and ranks. Automaton are better armed than other gangs, as they are weapons dealers with a shipment of weapons which came from an unknown location. They take what they want.
