The Robot Zombies, or simply Zombies, are a group of recurring antagonists introduced in Team Turbo Fusion-Tek. They were once healthy humans whose brainwaves were absorbed by Mortum or other zombies. They are capable of infecting regular humans by placing their hands on their heads to consume their brain energy.
History[]
Animated Films[]
Team Turbo Fusion-Tek[]
After Mortum awakens from his slumber, he spots a lost couple walking at the forest and goes after them. After converting them into zombies, he heads to his former hideout while consuming the brain energy of other humans on the way. He approaches his former assistants and asks for their help, but is unable to due to his defective techno-zombotic form. Annoyed at one of them, he converts the assistant into a zombie and proceeds to make improvements to his new body while revealing his plans of unleashing his robot zombie army among the population to gather brain energy. Meanwhile, Max, Steel, Alex, Rayne and C.Y.T.R.O. are hanging out when they spot a robot zombie wandering the streets. A horde of zombies approach them and they are forced to go Turbo in order to fight them.
Max and his team are ultimately cornered by the robot zombie horde. However, the zombie suddenly stop and become inert to send the brain energy they had gathered to Mortum. After the villain feasts on the brainwaves, he attempts to turn his own nephew into a zombie, but Team Turbo intervenes. Mortum clashes with the heroes and ultimately emerges victorious after assuming a new form and leaves them to perish after capturing Steel. He heads to the mountains of Copper Canyon along with a robot zombie army. He creates a temple to operate and two zombies bring him Steel. He begins to dissect the Ultralink and later sends out his army of zombies to destroy them if they were still alive.
Meanwhile, Max and his friends were hidden in the Martinez Farm House when a zombie attacked Alex. After the creature is knocked out by C.Y.T.R.O., Max has the idea of using the latter's technology to extract the coordinates of Mortum's location. The robot zombies find them, but Rayne activates the house's shields and turrets to defend themselves. However, the zombie swarm easily tear down the shields despite their efforts and invade the house. C.Y.T.R.O. eventually manages to obtain the information and escapes from the farm house.
Max and his team head to Mortum's temple to rescue Steel, but are greeted by the villain. After restraining Max and his team, Mortum proceeds with his plans of turning the entire world into robot zombies and succeeds. After a military soldier drops a bomb to destroy Mortum, he creates a dome-like shield to protect himself and Max escapes along with Steel. He converts Tempestra, La Fiera and C.Y.T.R.O. into robot zombies, renaming them as his "Heralds of the Technopocalypse" and sends them out to kill Max. Meanwhile, Mortum feasts on the brainwaves of the recently turned humans.
After Max cures his friends, they head to Mortum's temple and destroy him, but he assumes a new form. Thanks to a mind link formed earlier while curing Team Turbo, they manage to share their powers with Max so he equally fight against Mortum. While Team Turbo fights against a zombie army, Max defeats Mortum with Turbo Mega Mode and destroys the Connect-Tek and its Brain Bank, which contained all the brain energy. As a result, the robot zombies are cured and Mortum ultimately perishes.

Trivia[]
- The helmet design of the male robot zombies resembles Makino's helmet from the classic series.
- According to Alex, Rayne and C.Y.T.R.O., when they were under Mortum's control, they could only hear many distorted voices screaming the villain's name.
- During the infection process, the victim's clothes disappear and they gain a dark grey armor. This is not the case for an unnamed hot dog vendor, who still has his apron and hat after the infection.
