Bastion
| Real Name | SST Laboratories Siege Automaton E54, “Bastion” |
  |
| Age | 30 | |
| Occupation | Battle Automaton | |
| Base of Operations | ,Unknocn | |

Abilities
Configuration Recon: The full automatic rifle is highly effective at close range.

Self-Repair: Bastion can repair himself.
Configuration Tank: Bastion turns into a power, fast tank, with a highly damaging rocket launcher.
Tips
- Bastion is highly useful on defense, as his sentry mode can lock down an area and cover the perimeter.
- Both his self-repair and reconfigure skills leave him vulnerable, so be sure to do both behind cover and without an enemy nearby.
- Try to set up as a sentry against a wall, with no room for enemies to flank from either side. Each map generally has a central corridor along with one or two flanking wings, so choose a spot that allows you to cover all entrance points.
