I cannot die... As long as we have spare parts... a mechanoid can never be destroyed! Humans don't have the power to resist the coming Mechanoid Empire. So long as they remain limited by their own humanity... my strength will be unmatched. And, one day, all humans in the cosmos shall bow down at my feet!
~ Hardgear, explaining that humanity would be converted one day.

Conquering La Metal[]

When the artificial sun was starting to fading, Promethium had her husband, Dr. Ban, to start the experimental process of converting to Machine Bodies. Her daughters Maetel and Emeraldas were against this, even their father was against this, but Promethium was dead set on the course. Ban tried to use a more mental link with his wife and use his consciousness uploaded into nanomachines for Promethium's mechanization to convince her of other ways besides just mechanization.

But as the process went wrong due to robotic scientist Hardgear interfered, Promethium became a cold-hearted machine and using her last of her free will to sent her daughters away on the Galaxy Express train 999. When Hardgear tried to have Promethium integrated into him, the artificial queen was working against him and had Hardgear assimilated into her, becoming a evil tyrant forcibly promoting mechanization under the illusion of choice.
