'''M-Bot''' is a sentient artificial intelligence installed inside a stealth-equipped starfighter. Its formal designation is MB-1021 and it classifies itself as a "robotic ship integration." The ship is found by Spensa in a cavern about thirty minutes walk from [[Alta]].
M-Bot's data banks were corrupted, but it remembers its last pilot, named Commander [[Spears]]. The only information M-Bot could find was a command from Spears: "Lie low, M-Bot. Take stock, don't get into any fights, and wait for me here."{{book ref|skyward|17}}
== History ==
At some point M-Bot's pilot [[Spears]] landed on [[Detritus]] and hid his ship before abandoning it.
When [[Spensa]]
to no avail, she stole a battery from [[Jorgen Weight]]'s hovercar. She powered on the ship and is surprised to discover M-Bot's personality.{{book ref|Skyward|16}} She enlists her friend [[Rig]], who then joined the Engineering Corps, where he can get the knowledge and parts to repair M-bot.{{book ref|Skyward|17}} Rig fixed most of M-bot's systems as well as his battered hull and wings. Finally, Spensa gets Jorgen to help her steal the booster from the wreckage of [[Hurl]]'s [[starfighter]] and made M-bot fully functional.{{book ref|Skyward|35}}{{expand}}
Spensa suspected that M-bot is a Krell ship since such technology is not possessed by humans, to which M-bot responded with writing a vocal aggression subroutine to express his anger. Though M-bot admitted that with most of his memories lost, he can't deny there's a possibility that it is right, it is still highly unlikely because it uses English.{{clarify}} Spensa dismissed this thought later on.
During one of Spensa's flight class, M-bot hacked into DDF's system and chatted to her. M-bot utilized his analyzing ability to help her further advance in her flying techniques, though sometimes Spensa finds it distracting to have M-bot talking to her.
However, after having a cruise with Spensa, M-bot realized that going like this, he would eventually go against the orders and get discovered or engaged in a fight. Out of fear, he shut himself down and refuse to respond to Spensa.
During the second Battle of Alta, Spensa's ship was shot down. But M-bot appeared just in time, explaining that he made a subroutine to hack himself;Spensa is now his pilot. Since M-Bot has no Destructers, he and Spensa tried to lure [[Krell]] ships away. Because of M-bot's superior performance and Spensa's exceptional maneuver, they provoked a dozen [[Krell]] fighters, who always attack the best pilot. They dodged many attacks, allowing the tide of the battle to turn over. However, when DDF finally shot down the bomber with [[Lifebuster]], it was already in the range of destroying [[Alta Base]]. Using Light-lance, they carried the bomb out of the death zone but also put themselves in the place of sure death. At the last moment, Spensa activated [[Cytonic]] hyperdrive. They performed FTL travel and escaped from the explosion unharmed. Spensa then spotted an opening in the debris field and flied out to discover the truth about Detritus.{{book ref|Skyward|54}}{{book ref|Skyward|55}}{{expand}}
