Factions



As of update 0.8.1, released on February 12th, 2015, there are four factions with at least one robot and one faction with none.

On the Facebook page of Walking War Robots, this picture was released, showing each robot currently available in game. There are a total of five factions: 
 * TMC (Transatlantic Military Corporation): This group consists of one light robot, one medium robot, and two heavy robots.
 * RUS (Russian Empire): This faction is made up of a light robot, two medium robots, and one heavy robot.
 * GER (Neue Ordnung): The Neue Ordnung is made up of two light robots, one medium robot, and one heavy robot.
 * FFA (Freedom Fighter's Alliance): Currently, this group features a medium robot and possibly a light.
 * PRC (People's Republic of China): This group features a heavy robot and possibly a medium.
 * BAF (British Armed Forces): A possible faction with 1 possible lightweight robot. None of this is confirmed.
 * JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force) A theorized faction with one quadrupedal medium robot and one quadrupedal heavy robot.

The Transatlantic Military Corporation is most likely centered around North America and Western Europe. Based on the names of the robots (e.g. GL. Patton), it is safe to conclude that they are probably centered around English-speaking nations. It is probable that these nations banded together into a capitalistic business that makes money by developing, manufacturing, and selling arms, as well as keeping a self-defense force of Walking War Robots.

Based on the types of robots maintained by the TMC's military, it seems that they focus on heavy assault; the general repetition of hardpoint types seems to be aimed at mass-mounting each robot with the same weapon to focus specifically on one type of combat. In addition, TMC robots seem to rely more on armor than on speed; they generally have slower speeds when compared to other robots of their class, but with a higher number of hitpoints.
