The Fabrication Machine, originally classified as Binary Reactive Artificially Intelligent Neurocircuit, is the mechanical spider-like automation invention of the Scientist that seeks to eliminate the stitchpunks. It is the main antagonized threat to the stitchpunks and the creator of the Steel War Behemoths, Cat Beast, Winged Beast, Seekers, Spiderbots, and the Seamstress.

Biography

The Fabrication Machine's First Moments

The Machine's first moments.

The Fabrication Machine (originally classified as the B.R.A.I.N) was created by the The Scientist by order of the The Chancellor before the Scientist created the stitchpunks. Neither one of them realized initially that the Scientist's creation would turn out corrupted and/or be used for purposes that would turn it that way or give it the knowledge of such evil. When the time came, the Scientist tried to oppose it being used but failed to convince the Chancellor not to use it. The Chancellor had the B.R.A.I.N. given an outer metal casing “suit”, which gave it prehensile limbs and attached it to a central appendage in the ceiling of the Factory so that it could be functionally mobile while working on the steel war behemoths it had been programmed to build, yet be confined to the Factory. Eventually, the Fabrication Machine cracked out of its inter-systematic stance within the programming it was given under continuous pressure and reset its mind to work on weaponry that would annihilate all of the human race, including the Chancellor’s Reich soldiers and local militia. The Fabrication Machine deactivated from lack of vitalization power over time after no more original fueling via electricity that was what had energized power to the factory and the Machine was able to be transmitted for functionality, but its mechanized creations went on to destroy any humans or smaller life forms targeted as an enemy in the immediate area. It is unknown but in certain terms plausible if there are any civilians or rebels from the Resistance living in far off places that may have escaped this attack.

The Fabrication Machine Blueprint

The design of the Machine.

The Fabrication Machine was awoken to having no emotion and could not feel any remorse for what it had done to the human race since it functioned on merely just electricity source fuel and the transferred essence of the Scientist’s mind/intellect. It was also thought that it neither cared nor had compassion for any living thing, though it originally seemed to show something akin to concern when the Scientist was taken away, and immediately grew aggressive desperately attempting to save its creator.

The original look of the Machine was very decorated, having a beautiful sphere that had a single, glowing red eye optic bulb with a eye lens cover over it in the middle. It had two small arms protruding from the sides and many vibrating power chargers all over. Its new body gave it nine new arm appendages used for cutting, tweaking, and welding metal, as well as grasping arms. It was permanently attached to the center of the ceiling inside the main construction room of factory.

Role in film

The Fabrication Machine was created by the Scientist hired by the Chancellor before the stitchpunks' creation many years ago to help build machines or war to aid in the State's campaign to conquer the world. The Scientist gave the B.R.A.I.N. everything it needed to create war machines on a massive scale, but the Chancellor had taken it away when the Scientist realized that he didn't give it a human soul to give it an ability to cope with stress. Pushed to its limits by the State's demand for war machines, the Machine soon snapped and began to reprogram the other machines into attacking humanity in general - average citizens, soldiers, children, anyone who got in the war machines' way. The Machine was shut down soon after, though its creations went on to destroy all life. Its last surviving creation was the Cat Beast, who still sought out to kill all organic life, which was no more than the stitchpunks that the Scientist had created.

When the beast took 2, who was carrying the talisman, 9 and 5 went after them. After a long battle, 7 swoops in and kills the beast, and 9, being curious of the purpose of the talisman, sticks it in a nearby slot. The talisman starts to glow, and abruptly steals 2's soul, violently ripping it out of his small body. The slot was actually attached to the Fabrication Machine, who then woke up to find its unwelcome guests. After a long run from the Machine, the stitchpunks make it out of the factory and back to the church. The Machine, finally awake again, builds the Winged Beast to go and capture them. In the time the stitchpunks are battling the beast, the Fabrication Machine builds Seekers (hot air balloon-like creations) that collect garbage from the streets, and keep a lookout for the stitchpunks and the Spiderbots. It also built the Seamstress using 2's lifeless body to go and aid in the stitchpunks' demise. The Seamstress had brought back 8 and 7. 7 was saved with the help of 9, but 8's soul was been taken. When they later returned to the factory, the stitchpunks attempted to destroy the Fabrication Machine by throwing an oil barrel into the factory (which had been filled with gas and flammable liquids from when humanity was still in existence) with a lit fuse attached. The barrel exploded and tore down the entire factory, including most - if not all - the Fabrication Machine's creations.

The machine pursuing the stitchpunks

With a celebration at hand, 5 chases after a fallen record. He approaches the site of the explosion, and the Fabrication Machine rises out from the ground, no longer stationary. He runs to the others to warn them, but the Machine grabs him and steals his soul. After a short, grieving chase, the Machine soon ends up stuck on a split bridge with it hanging from one half as if in a cage. 6 explains how the souls are still trapped inside the monster, and can only be freed if they go back to the source. 6 is quickly snatched up, 7 tries to rescue him but is stopped by 9, and the machine proceeds to take his soul from him. 9 decides to go back to the source (which turns out to be the room in which the Scientist created the stitchpunks) and learns (through watching a holographic recording the Scientist left behind just before creating 9) how the talisman works, how the Machine became corrupted, and how to defeat the Machine, and he quickly rushes back to the team. He finds the others launching what ever they can find at the Machine. It takes mild damage as it storms toward their position. 9 shows them how they can use the talisman against the Machine, just as it finds them and tries to torch them. 9 nearly sacrifices himself just as 1 jumps in the way to save him. 1 dies just as 9 is able to retrieve the talisman. He uses the sequence buttons just as the Scientist had showed him in the recording, and the talisman retrieves all the souls inside the Fabrication Machine. The souls escape its body, and the Machine loses its immortality. Lacking an energy source, and damaged by the talisman's power, the Machine twitches and pours sparks all over the place in an intricate dance, hissing and screaming in pain, then its head combusts in an explosion of metal and electricity, and the dead chassis collapses.

Trivia

  • B.R.A.I.N. stands for Binary Reactive Artificial Intelligent Neurocircuit[1]
  • On the 9 forum, it has gone by many nicknames, including things as sugarcoated as "Fabby" and "Mrs. Fab."
  • Its design resembles GlaDOS of Portal.
  • The scientist used means of alchemy to create the machine.
  • The Machine and its creations might be based from the Terminator series, in which the machines also rose up and took over the world, as in this movie, and the robots in Terminator also have red eyes like the machines in this movie.
  • On the scientist's Facebook page its explained that the Fabrication Machine once killed two workers: one thrown across the factory, the other sliced at the torso. Either of these incidents may explain why there is a skeleton in the factory.[2]
  • The only human the Machine showed true emotion to was the Scientist, possibly because he was its creator.
  • The machine does show anger when it is brought the head of the destroyed Winged Beast.
  • The Fabrication Machine "snapped under the pressure" of creating too many machines for the Chancellor, which may mean that the Nation was unaware of how complex an AI they were dealing with.
  • When the Fabrication Machine escapes from the factory, a chunk of its head is shown missing – however, this does not seem to affect its thought processes.
  • in the dvd commentary of the movie when the machine is stuck in barbwire a scene was going to show it blow torch itself free however the scene was cut
  • The B.R.A.I.N‘s original design before becoming The Fabrication Machine was in ways inspired by the toys the Scientist used to make back when he was a toymaker because it reminded him of putting smiles on peoples faces.[3]
  • The Fabrication Machine's head within the metal casing “suit” is a ball-shaped nonagon (a 9-sided polygon). it a little reference to the movie title.
  • At some point during the preproduction, there was an adaptation where 9's soul actually gets sucked into the Fabrication Machine, and meets its soul to discover that the Machine was in fact Character #0 "Duat". [4]
