Summary
The Nindroids are the main villain faction that faced the Ninjas in the 3rd season of Ninjago. After the Overlord was defeated by Lloyd, a small part of his spirit remained stuck the Borg Tower and managed to enter in all of its computers in the form of a virus, eventually expanding and taking over the entire city. After the Ninjas escaped from New Ninjago City, the Digital Overlord used Zane's project to build an entire army of Zane-like Nindroids, but these new robots were designed to be much stronger and more powerful than the White Ninja, and were capable, like the rest of the Digital Monster's technology, of absorbing Golden Power to become more powerful. With the help of the Nindroid army, under the command of General Cryptor, and also thanks to Pythor, the Overlord would have later achieved the powers of the Golden Ninja to become the legendary Golden Master.

His technology was more advanced even than Zane's at the time, who could dodge multiple Nindroid laser beams) and Speed of Light attack speed with laser beams (Cryptor's laser beams can be shot at a much faster pace than regular Nindroids') | Likely FTL (kept up with Zane in battle, who is reletive to Nya, and said himself to be equal to him)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Continent level | Continent level | likely Star level
Durability: Continent level (Can tank attacks from the Ninja) | Continent level (His durability should be superior to regular Nindroid's) | Likely Star level (Should be comparable to DoTD Samukai, who took attacks from Jay Walker)
Stamina: Infinite: Nindroids are androids who have been built following Zane's project, a Nindroid who has shown superhuman stamina, outlasting even the rest of the Ninja in several occasion, and that has never shown to get tired. General Cryptor alongside a few other Nindroids and Min-Droid were able to fly from Delta V to Ninjago using their bare propellers and weren't shown to be tired at all after their landing on Ninjago
Range: Standard melee range, much higher with various weaponry and technologies and with his laser beams | Standard melee range, much higher with various weaponry and technologies and with his laser beams | Standard melee range, extended melee range with the Departed Blade
- Katanas: The usual melee weapon wielded by all Nindroids. Unlike regular Nindroids, General Cryptor wields two katanas instead of just one.
- Laser Guns: Laser Guns are long-ranged weapons used by Nindroids. Those are capable of shooting a blue laser beam.
- Jetpacks: Jetpacks are equipment used by Nindroids to fly for longer distances than they do with their regular propellers.
- Vehicles: Nindroids can pilot various vehicles and war machines to be more potent in battle.
- The Destructoid: This is a vehicle used mainly by General Cryptor himself. It's capable of shooting missiles, it can be used to store weapons inside of it, and has two mechanical arms: one equipped with a giant sword-like blade, and the other with a giant circular chainsaw.
- The Nindroid Mech-Dragon: A giant mechanical dragon, and most likely the most powerful vehicle of the Nindroid Army. It can fly and has two giant circular chainsaws in its wings.
- Cryptor's Departed Blade: A weapon that was given to Cryptor by Sensei Yang. If it's used to kill a Ninja, it allows its user to take their place amongst the living.
Intelligence: While regular Nindroids aren't that intelligent on their own (even though they are expert fighters and fully capable of piloting various vehicles), General Cryptor is much more intelligent, and a fearsome commander and warrior in battle. Mind-Droid, despite his small size, is also much smarter than the other Nindroids, hence why he is able to survive more than any of them in battle
Weaknesses: If Nindroids don't have an energy supply to rely on, they will deactivate. Their laser beams can be reflected with objects and weapons made out of metal, however, Cryptor's version of this attack is much more potent, and thus can't be reflected this way
Feats: Able to harm and to overpower the Ninjas on multiple occasions. Cryptor was consistently shown to be physically superior to the Ninjas. After being revived by Sensei Yang, if Cryptor doesn't kill a Ninja before the Yin-Yang Eclypse's nd, he and his revived Nindroids will return to the Departed Realm
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Laser Beams: Nindroids are capable of shooting a red energy beam from their right eye. General Cryptor, however, can shoot two laser beams, both from his right eye and from the left side of his chest. His Laser beams are much more powerful and spammable than the rest of the Nindroids'.
- Flight: Nindroids are able to fly thanks to having little propellers in their feet.
- Cloaking: Nindroids are able to turn invisible at will.
