The giant metallic creature stood on the dead log, able to control its bodyweight by means of air pressure... It adjusted its metallic tube like legs, leveling itself perfectly, its white eyes became something similar to search lights... Only it wasn't searching for a master to serve, like most automated things, they have to obey a master, similar to golems, they are created to serve many masters... But A.T.O.M. wasn't any of those things...

He had been given a only order not by a creator, or a master.
His automotive brain gave him only three objectives.

Charge.
Explore surroundings.
Survive.

A.T.O.M. changed his hight again, standing tall to exactly 7 feet tall...
His white metallic body gleaming and absorbing the sunlight that was beaming down on him... On the ground five feet ahead of him, stood a Ironback and hill... The tiny ants scurried along the long blades of grass as the sun was blocked out by something tall and imposing.
A.T.O.M. stood there, his head turning with a metallic squeak, the noise growing softer and softer as his body began its first evolution...
His arms and legs where comprised of four unique choice of any A.T.O.M. unit droid... Most do have tubes for arms and thighs, but each type was made of eight metal bands, each connected by a hidden swivel or ball joint depending on the unit.
This particular unit was something of a oddity itself, his tube arms were his upper and lower arm... A black tube connected to the shoulder and the hand... While most have a small upper arm tube that connects with a slightly bulky wrist that held the wires to control its hand and fingers...
This robotic anomaly has no wiring, instead it had a sort of mockery if you can call it that... Well it had what you can call organic parts...
He needed no wiring or specific fuel or battery...
He was made to be a organically automatic technological oddity marvel...
A A.T.O.M. that's considered to be impossible to make... But there he stood.
Alone on the island of the dark forest, 50 miles away from the Kryson kingdom...
A marvel that will continue to be a marvel...

A wild marvel...
