Samuroid

"But still, we have some mysteries left to solve, like our flying Samurai robot... Android Samurai. Samuroid."

- Cisco Ramon on Samuroid

A samurai robot, nicknamed Samuroid by Cisco Ramon (a portmanteau of "Samurai" and "Android") was a combat robot unit at the disposal of DeVoe. Remains of the unit are now owned by Team Flash.

History
Used as a combat robot by DeVoe, the robot was wreaked havoc in Central City to attract the attention of the Flash. When Kid Flash and Vibe arrived instead, DeVoe used it as a communication device as well, demanding to see the Flash within 24 hours. Later attempting to counter the robot as the Flash, Wally West was beaten and badly sliced the fibula in his leg.

After 24 hours, the samurai robot was ambushed by a Central City Police Department task force led by Joe West, while Iris West approached and willingly gave herself as a hostage to lure out Barry Allen. Barry, overcoming his temporal dementia-like state, rushed to the scene, catching up with the robot as it was flying near a wind farm. In the ensuing battle, Allen managed to tackle the robot, which fell to the ground and was badly damaged in the process. Later unmasking the robot, the Flash received a last message from DeVoe as the connection was terminated.

Remains of the robot were captured by Team Flash for Cisco Ramon to research.
