Interestingly, the default name of the killing machine is KB. One interpretation of this is 'Killer Bot', a likely reference to its Japanese name and present one.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2/Joker 2 Professional[]
As in the first game in the series, Killing Machines are made through synthesis - however, they have been downgraded to A-Rank. They still require the same fusion process, but given the amount of time needed to fuse a mechan-o'-wyrm, and the abundance of Phantom Swordsmen in the wild, fusing a hunter mech with a phantom swordsman is generally the better choice. They can also be found in the Dark World, from one of the random portals on the floor. Just as with other monsters in the Dark World, they are very difficult to scout, but with proper team preparation can be done.
Killing machines are also necessary to fuse Overkilling machines, and both are needed to fuse Sagittar.

Other Media Appearances[]
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai[]
The Killing Machine appears in the manga and its anime adaptations. According to Brass, it was a weapon devised by Hadlar to kill the hero. Interestingly enough, not much is known about its usage during Hadlar's era, although given it was recognized by the Papnica officers, it can be assumed the weapon had already earned some infamy. Defeated but overall still intact, the machine was repurposed under Temjin's orders to allow human pilots to control it, planning to use it for his own schemes. These events were eventually seen in the prequel story, where it was also revealed that the machine was developed by Gangadia and was eventually taken down by Roka, Maam's father and a member of Avan's party.
Fifteen years later, the Killing Machine was finally launched by Temjin as a means for his accomplice, Varon, to kill Dai and Brass in a staged coup in order to allow princess Leona to die from poisoning, thereby securing Temjin's position as Papnica's ruler. However, the Killing Machine was destroyed for good by Dai, while Brass healed Leona from her venom, thereby leaving Temujin defenseless and arrested for treason. The Killing Machine is not seen afterwards.
