During Skeleden's run, two rare non-metallic Argens were made, one for the D&D style story that doesn't tie to the main story, and the other based on that story's Phanost. Both were the only Argens at the time with no matching Gendrones of any kind.
Skeleden's final release came a wave before Hades' return. Likely that's to keep from competing with the debuting Glyarmor but the timing is interesting.
Skeleden first appeared a wave after Argen took the same Redlaw form of Phanost, a first for the Gendrone leader and his most ominous form since Dark Argen.
In our time with Skeleden, no story blurbs were dropped about him, most of Matt's story was carried by Argen at the time, as if the Skeleden had no impact on the Glyos canon.

Of course this all goes out the window once Matt decides to do a Glyarmor vs Skeleden drop.

the same thing? In my head they are, just more of an old world vs. new world thing and they are both words for mechanical beings.
Interested to get your thoughts...

I think Gendrones are true robots and purely mechanical in nature, while Sincroids are bio-mechanical. Gendrones can be mass-manufactured on an assembly line, but Sincroids have to be vat-grown.

Thanks for the response, interesting as I have collected glyos for 10 years and never thought of sincroids as biomechanical, but I like that! I guess I just didn’t remember that from the comics. So then, the only sincroids would be Exellis and Noboto (Plus the proto clones) or am I forgetting sanother character?

I believe the currency they use is called "Mils" as I had asked Matt about it back in 2009 when I started the Alien Mercenaries photo comic because I wanted the lore to be consistent between my stories and his. (I even put the cost of the comic as "5 Mils" to reference that and the 'Mercs and other characters refer to Mils often.).
