The converse of a replicator is a recycler, a device that breaks down waste matter to the molecular (or atomic) level and stores it in bulk matter containers where it can be used later.

| - All replicators require base elemental matter to work from; while they can rearrange atoms to form new molecules, and assemble those molecules into nearly any desired shape, they cannot transmute one kind of element into another. Replicators typically assemble matter at the molecular level, but if needed they can assemble matter at the atomic level; they can even combine elements into highly complex compounds, creating organic substances. Living cells can also be pre-grown and assembled by replicators into living tissues for medical applications. This technology is widespread in any spacefaring culture, spanning all known species, and is indispensable in modern industry. Most larger starships will have at least simple replicators installed onboard, allowing the manufacture of food as well as simple replacement parts for the spacecraft. The converse of a replicator is a recycler, a device that breaks down waste matter to the molecular (or atomic) level and stores it in bulk matter containers where it can be used later.

Because they had only one directive, communication or diplomacy with the Replicators was impossible until they evolved to the point where they could create human-form Replicators which possessed an ability to think beyond the original command to self-replicate. Thanks in large part to four-thousand year war against the Asgard, the Replicators as Earth knew them gained an extreme resistance to energy weapons, but were cursed with an incredible weakness to projectile weaponry as a result. Despite their vulnerability to human technology, however, they remained fully capable of invading the Milky Way Galaxy and very nearly destroying everything existing there. It is believed that all Replicators in the universe were destroyed when Replicator Carter led the entirety of the machine horde within range of the Dakara superweapon, which had the ability to break them apart at the subatomic level.
