RBF-003: Meshlings & The Emperor

Class: Archived

Meshlings invading a baseplate

Meshlings

Meshlings are swarms of random imported meshes—rocks, crates, helmets— welded together into creeping formations.

  • Count: packs of 50–200 random meshes.
  • Movement: slow, synchronized crawl along any surface.
  • Textures: varied Roblox toolbox materials; no two swarms look alike.

Containment (Meshlings)

  • NONE NEEDED
The Emperor emerging

The Emperor

The Emperor (RBF-003B) towers at ~20 studs tall, built from hundreds of random mesh assets. His head is a ticking timebomb mesh with a floating decal “c:” face.

  • Body: welded vehicles, gears, cages—random mix from toolbox.
  • Head: spherical bomb mesh; floating decal shows “c:” smile.
  • Abilities: spawn new Meshlings, override server mesh scripts.
  • Voice/Sound: plays distant clock ticks & muffled “–I AM C:LOCK.”

Containment (The Emperor)

  • NONE NEEDED

Addendum & Logs

  • Log 003A – Mesh Swarm (2013-04-22)
    Players on “Rocket Arena” saw 150 Meshlings form a circle.
  • Log 003B – Emperor Speaks (2014-01-11)
    During a server update, chat flashed “c:” and counted down 10s.
  • Test – MeshClear Script
    Script removed 80% of swarm but Emperor re-imported meshes via user API.
  • Research Note
    Avoid running Destroy() on mesh parts—Emperor rewrites code.

In-Game Observations

  • Players report sudden frame drops when Emperor appears.
  • Swarm sound effects overlap, creating distorted ambient noise.
  • Chat spam with random “c:” messages during breach events.

Real-World Effects

  • Hardware Explosion.
  • Hardware Failure.

Fate

After multiple breach incidents in late 2013 - 2014, the Roblox Admins wiped The Emperor and The Meshling's from the site entirely.
