Combot (コンボット Konbotto?) is a character in the Tekken series of fighting games, making his first appearance in Tekken 4 and returning in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. While unplayable, Combot also makes a cameo appearance in Tekken 7, visible in the background of the Violet Systems stage.
Story
Tekken 4
Combot is a multi general purpose robot created by Lee Chaolan (under the disguise of Violet) to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Combot is programmed to do a wide variety of things, from household chores to military action. Combot was designed to be the ultimate fighting machine, and was programmed to learn every fighter's style as it progressed through the tournament. It was also used to increase the chance of Lee gaining the Mishima Zaibatsu if Heihachi were to be defeated by Combot. Unfortunately, the prototype was rushed due to time constraints and a few bugs were left in Combot's data. Because of this, whenever Combot is powered up, he can only utilize one opponent's fighting style at a time.

Gameplay
Combot was the replacement (gameplay-wise) for Mokujin in Tekken 4. However, unlike Mokujin, who produces a new character to mimic each round, Combot's playing style stays consistent throughout the match. For Tekken Tag Tournament 2, he can be customized with moves from the whole roster.
