Assembly (Earth-5125)

"We often felt a sort of envy of human beings... of that thing they call "soul". Human beings created a million explanations of the meaning of life in art, in poetry, in mathematical formulas. Human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence. But human beings cannot be allowed to remain living in this world."

The Assembly is a collective Machine mind inhabiting seven different bodies that, alongside Deus Ex Machina, rule New Eden, the "Machine City" as known by Zionities. They were the ultimate leaders in the Great War against humanity.
