There are several enemies Metal Arms, being either Mils, ZombieBots, other creatures, and in one case, Droids. All Mils will start carrying energy shields after the Morbot City levels, though not every single enemy unit will wear them. Some Mils can also be hacked into using the Control Tether, although not always. Most enemies come in various types and will be discussed at greater length below. | |||

The Grunts are Glitch's most common enemy, and throughout the game wield every primary weapon that you do excluding the Control Tether, Slingshot, Scatter Blaster, and Ripper. They also carry Coring Charges. To add even further to their variety, their weapons seem to upgrade just like yours. All portions of this Mil, excluding his legs, may be shot off or disabled. The Grunts may not be the strongest enemy you encounter, but to make up for this, they operate turret emplacements and vehicles, and are the only enemies that do so, making them very versatile robots. There are six colors for grunts. Each on will carry a weapon as in the following list: | The Grunts are Glitch's most common enemy, and throughout the game wield every primary weapon that you do excluding the Control Tether, Slingshot, Scatter Blaster, and Ripper.

Although the instruction booklet would have you believe that these are an offshoot of the Grunts, they bear no resemblance to them, and instead look, though not necessarily fight, much more like a Titan. Guards have a large amount of armor and can run relatively fast; while they lack the sheer brute force possessed by the Titan, the Guard's agility allows it to take down larger robots relatively easily.

Guards have a large amount of armor and can run relatively fast; while they lack the sheer brute force possessed by the Titan, the Guard's agility allows it to take down larger robots relatively easily. They wield a Halberd with a top-mounted laser similar to the Scatter Blaster. The D-port is located on its back. | ||

It attacks at range and changes firing positions often. Since they often come in small groups of 2-3, and are hard to hit, a Cleaner is a great strategy, provided you have one. Mining Lasers/S.P.E.W.'s are another O.K. option. | ||

These Mils are technicians and scientists that will attack you in self-defense by using an electric charge that sucks health away.

These are Mils disguised to pass as droids to sneak into Droid Town so that they may report back to the others on its location. They are just as fast as Glitch, and they all wield a Level 1 Rocket Launcher. They are only fought in the level "Unhandled Exception" (SP). | These are Mils disguised to pass as droids to sneak into Droid Town so that they may report back to the others on its location.
