HistoryText
  • Howard Quartz was the CEO of Quartz Industries, who amongst their many other activities designed robots for the US military through their subsidiary Ro-Busters Inc. Quartz designed the original Mark I War Droids, forerunners to the ABC Warriors. Quartz later took a personal interest in the activities of his Ro-Busters Disaster Squad, composed of second-hand robots he'd bought cheap . When Ro-Busters became unprofitable, Quartz decided to destroy the robots as part of an insurance scam. A dozen of them, warned by Quartz's secretary and P.A. Miss Marilyn, escaped to the free robot world of Mekka, led by Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein. Quartz apparently survived for centuries, and eventually attempted to reclaim 'his' Warriors on Mars, re-recruiting Mek-Quake, who murdered the adopted son of the ABC Warrior Tubal Caine on his orders.
