[h3]Welcome to Machineland, the land where all your dreams of automated warfare come true… as long as they involve mechanized rodents or marsupials! Don your safety helmet and join us on a factory tour through the first biome of Ultra Mega Cats. Here’s a taste of what our cats will face during their epic journey to restore the feline race to its former glory and become absurdly overpowered in the process.[/h3]
THE MACHINELAND FACILITY

Machineland is a famous arms corporation that specializes in the commercial supply of mechanized rodents and marsupials. Its founder, Theodore — a giant bear, vicious industrialist, and a wannabe general, had an ingenious business idea: why strain budgets by funding soldiers and weapons separately when you could convert soldiers INTO weapons? That's precisely what he did, using the power of the Ancient Lion, whom he captured. We’ll delve into the details later, but one thing is certain; having the power of a feline god of strength at your disposal works magic for the company's revenue.
Upon entering the company premises the Ultra Mega Cats will trigger an immediate alarm and summon endless waves of enemies. Climbing the corporate ladder to reach the upper management levels, where the Ancient Lion is imprisoned, is no small feat!
A FAMILY OF FURY FOES

Machineland’s trade secret is the rodent and marsupial mechanization process. The technique here is simple; take a hair from the divine Lion’s mane, add a battalion of minor fur animals, and a crate of combat equipment, put them together, maybe shake a little, and voilà—a fresh batch of weaponized soldiers is ready for action. Hamster Bombs? Check! Roborabbits? Confirmed. Automated Rats? For sure! Ferret Turrets? You bet. Beaver Saws? Absolutely! All fearless and eager to fight.
However, beware of any contamination. A single misplaced shopping cart or a forgotten set of ballet equipment can lead to some... unusual results. When you see those Beaver Shooters or Koala Ballerinas, you'll know. But don't underestimate these products of mishaps—they are as lethal as the rest of Machineland’s commercial army.
To sum up: brace yourself to face dozens of killer rabbits (like the ones from Monty Python) and other deadly creatures at once!
ELUSIVE MINIBOSS: RAT KING
The Rat King rules over the forgotten bottom level of the Machineland, a dump yard called the Thrash Emporium. All the rats aboard the space factory, even those in Theodore’s army, obey the Rat King’s orders. The Rat King believes rats will outlive all other races and inherit the universe one day. So, the King patiently waits for that moment to come, feeding on scraps and scheming in hiding, surrounded by fumes of garbage and madness.
The Rat King is always accompanied by a swarm of rats, which it can use to attack its enemy, heal itself, or … create a giant hammer out of them. Watch for its cloak too, who knows what hides underneath. Oh, rats, it’s going to be a tough fight!
“
Cornered rat will bite the cat!”—Rat King.
THE BOSS BEAR: THEODORE
The infamous phrase “the boss wants to see you”' just got even more disturbing. Get ready for a tough business with this boss encounter!
Theodore, the bear, is a ruthless, greedy, exploitative capitalist. He began his career manufacturing buttons and zippers, quickly amassing a fortune. However, his resentment for buttons ran deep. He felt they wielded too much control over him. Craving dominion rather than submission, he dreamt of commanding an army. So, he pivoted his enterprise towards warfare and declared himself the 'Boss General,' 'Warfare Kingpin,' 'Chief Everything Officer,' and 'Machines Overlord,' among other grandiose titles.
Dressed in a suit that mimics a military uniform, complete with medals he has self-bestowed, Theodore wields a rocket launcher suitcase, for you know, heated negotiations. Another asset to beware of is … Theodore’s butt. You may laugh now, but just wait and see the shockwave he can generate just by dropping on it. And, of course, he's never without his legions, always ready at his beck and call. Think carefully if you really want to battle Theodore—you might just get fired!
“
Have you come to a job interview, little cat? Let me see your qualifications!”—Boss Bear Theodore.
