Beetleworx are enemies in Epic Mickey. Originally created as a construction crew for when Oswald the Lucky Rabbit ruled Wasteland, they subsequently became the Shadow Blot's Shock Troops when the Blot Wars began.
Background[]
The Beetleworx are built from discarded Audio-Animatronic bits, and are part "toon" and part "inert". Unlike the game's secondary enemies, the Blotlings, using paint on them will not make them allies but can gum up their works and slow them down. At the time of the original game, the Beetleworx can only be defeated by destroying them; doing so in the first game would also fill Mickey's Guardian gauge green, due to thinning out the shell. In the sequel, Oswald is able to reprogram them to be allies by zapping them with his remote. Models include Tankers, Bashers, Spinners, and Hoppers. Like Spatters, they take on different forms in different areas of Wasteland.
Because Oswald felt Mickey Mouse stole his fame and popularity, he was given types of Beetleworx made by the Mad Doctor that looked like Mickey's friends Donald, Daisy, and Goofy, to make him feel better. These are shown to be very friendly towards Mickey since they were made before the Blot Wars. They have personalities very similar to Mickey's real friends. They are found in pieces scattered through the Wasteland and can either be repaired, in which case they become friends, or left as they are.

Trivia[]
- When the pirates are transformed into robots by this process, it bears similarity to Doctor Eggman's roboticizer from Sonic the Hedgehog.
