History
"Roger Roger."

-The Aggressor's default response to all commands.

While basic infantry tend to outnumber all other military units put together in any given army, the Aggressors of SKYNET take this to an extreme seldom seen elsewhere. Surrounding the vehicles and heavier infantry of SKYNET in a numberless wave of mechanical caricatures, these machines are expended in numbers one would expect to see attached to munitions rather than infantry. Possessed by a machine consciousness from the Core Collective, Aggressors seem to move like marionettes on invisible strings, propelled forward by a consciousness with no particular attachment to the steel forms.

Aggressor computer cores are small and restrictive, so their controlling consciousnesses are restricted to single-minded thinking while within the Aggressor's form, so they must trust their commanders to be used effectively. And the most effective use of the Aggressor is as an endless wave.

When Aggressors attack, the horizon fills with their forms, their sensor lights burning ominously in the distance, and they move as an endless mass. Oftentimes, the rear ranks are simply slaved to following the front groups, because they come in waves of hundreds of thousands or more, shaking the ground with their passage.

As the front ranks are cut down, falling under the feet of the ranks behind, their consciousnesses repossess the ranks behind, keeping the wave moving endlessly. Eventually, their enemies are driven back, ground down by sheer weight of numbers, eventually defeated, and crushed under the sheer mass of expended machines if nothing else. Following the battle, SKYNET nanites swarm forth, breaking apart the destroyed machines, recycling them back for the creation of new units.
