As the Strogg are a very hostile race, they often replace organic body parts with cybernetic ones. The Q2 Makron is an example of this, being just an organic brain resting inside the stomach-located case of a robotic body suit. Although not particularly imposing (being only slightly taller than the average human), the Makron's robotic body is built for extreme combat; it has a railgun for a head, a hyperblaster for its right arm, and a BFG10K for its left arm. The Makron's body is also extremely strong, but it can be easily knocked down onto its back by powerful weapons fire, such as from a rocket launcher or railgun. The Makron is very slow, and it is quite easy to drop in and out of cover and shoot him with ranged and powerful weapons.
