- For for the army as a whole, see Nindroid Army.
Nindroid Warriors are advanced combat warrior robots, or androids designed by P.I.X.A.L. under the Digital Overlord's influence and form the heart of the evil Nindroid Army.
Based on Zane's blueprints, Nindroid Warriors are said to be superior to the ninja of Ice in every way; being stronger, faster, and capable of cloaking themselves. However, the Nindroids rely on an outside source of power unlike Zane, whose power source comes from within.
History[]
Rebooted[]
The Surge[]
The Nindroid Warriors were created in the factory of Borg Tower under the supervision of P.I.X.A.L. who had obtained blueprints for them when she had scanned Zane earlier.
The Art of the Silent Fist[]
Nindroid Warriors were dispersed throughout Ninjago to protect the Overlord's vital assets (such as the Storm Farms), establish security perimeters, and locate the Techno Blades. A group of them led by P.I.X.A.L. were sent to Garmadon's monastery, where they faced off against the ninja for the first time. However, they were all deactivated when the ninja destroyed the Power station.
Blackout[]
Some Nindroid Warriors were reawakened by General Cryptor at Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk using Electro-Cobrai.
The Curse of the Golden Master[]
In order to obtain the Golden Ninja, the Overlord dispatched two squads of Nindroids. The first was led by General Cryptor, which attacked the ninja and Serpentine in the tomb of the Stone Army. They were, however, just a distraction as the second squad (lead by Techno Wu) was sent to Hiroshi's Labyrinth to capture Lloyd.
Enter the Digiverse[]
More Nindroid Warriors (presumably reactivated by Pythor) attacked Borg Tower to stop the ninja from interfering with the Digital Overlord.
Codename: Arcturus[]
Nindroid Warriors including Min-Droid attacked Kai on the Nindroid Train.
The Void[]
Several Nindroid Warriors accompanied General Cryptor and Min-Droid on the mission to retrieve the Golden Weapons from the Arcturus comet.
The Titanium Ninja[]
A number of Nindroid Warriors were seen at Borg Industries, lined up to welcome the reborn Overlord and prepared to conquer New Ninjago City. Later on, they pursued the ninja and tried to break the forcefield around the Temple of Fortitude. However, Nya used General Cryptor's Destructoid to blast them.
Tournament of Elements[]
The Invitation[]
Some of the remaining Nindroids were converted into security droids to protect the decoy Golden Armor in Hiroshi's Labyrinth.
Prior to The Greatest Fear of All[]
Requiring money to sustain their systems, several Nindroids resorted to committing petty crimes after they were rejected from regular jobs because of their past affiliation with the Overlord. These Nindroids were caught by the Ninjago Police and placed in Kryptarium Prison.[2] A few of the Nindroids left in Ed & Edna's junkyard were reprogrammed to help the courple.[1]
The Greatest Fear of All[]
When No-Eyed Pete opened all the cells, the captive Nindroid Warriors faced off against Zane, but thanks to the original's upgrade, they were no match for the Titanium Ninja.
Day of the Departed[]
Some Nindroids, equipped with jetpacks, assisted General Cryptor to attack Zane. They were defeated when he destroyed their jetpacks, sending them back to the Departed Realm.
Prior to March of the Oni[]
Some of the Nindroid Warriors were locked away in the Borg Tower vaults.
March of the Oni[]
The Darkness Comes[]
The Nindroid Warriors in the vaults stood motionlessly contained in a glass case down the hall from the Realm Crystal.
Dragons Rising, Season 1[]
Years after the Merge, most of the surviving Nindroid Warriors have become normal citizens of the Crossroads while some others have become Administration Agents.

LEGO.com description[]
Nindroids are high-tech fighting machines manufactured based upon the blueprints of Zane.
But they are the next generation of artificial warriors, stronger, faster, and more agile than Zane has ever been. In addition, they have cloaking abilities that let them turn invisible.
This mechanical army serves the Digital Overlord.
Where Zane is able to feel friendship and more, Nindroids have no emotions.
They are completely cold and totally focused on accomplishing their mission.
Nindroids cannot be reasoned with or frightened off and they will only do strategic retreats if it seems that defeat is inevitable.[3]
Appearances[]
Trivia[]
- The Nindroids' masks are based on the ninja's ZX masks with the addition of a robotic eyepiece over the right side.
- Although the ninja use new masks in Legacy sets, the Nindroids still have the original version of the mask. The difference is that the red dots shifted positions.
- Despite the LEGO.com description claiming that Nindroids lack emotions, their in-show behavior contradicts this. Especially Min-Droid, who is capable of anger.
- Unlike Cryptor and Min-Droid, many Nindroid Warriors survived the Golden Master's defeat, some of which have been locked up in Kryptarium Prison.
- As shown in "The Invitation," a number of Nindroid Warriors were reprogrammed to act as security drones in Hiroshi's Labyrinth. Different Nindroid Sentries were later seen, so it is unknown what happened to the original Nindroid Warrior guards.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, the Nindroid Warriors in Kryptarium Prison may have since been reprogrammed and put on active duty in Borg Tower, explaining why they haven't been seen in prison in more recent seasons.[4]
- In Ninjago: Dragons Rising, the surviving Nindroid Warriors have become normal citizens of the Crossroads, retiring from their villainous past, possibly due to being reprogrammed as can be seen in their eyes being blue instead of red.
- They are the only faction from the original series that appeared on the Crossroads while not appearing in any WildBrain season prior to this. The possible reason is that they use the same model as Nindroid Sentries, who appeared in Season 12.
