My thoughts:
Mechs = Complex Mechanical Machines that are used or piloted by generally, but not exclusively humans. Intelligence of a man allows him to control more complexities and advancements.

The Robotic-Cybernetic Race = A branch of highly intelligent beings that were created by an Ancient Race, however, falling away from their creators and becoming a power of their own. They are fully mechanical, and hold the intelligence of all things logical in the universe. They are usually, but not always, hostile to biological beings.

Mechs don't always have to be hostile. That is, in itself, illogical. Why waste time and resources making war?

I'm thinking they're going to be kind of like the Transformers.

It is a possibility for /andriods to be a playable race. Here is my theory of how the they and their planet would be created:

A quite small planetary system along time ago in a galaxy far far away was overcome with space debree, from old robots, ships, debree from insterstellar warfare, moldy tacos (space mold of course) space pie gone bad just stood their floating. Only one very small, useless, dead nanochip got caught inside the rather small stars orbit and had floated there for hundreds upon thousands of years...

Everything, no matter how small it is has a gravitational pull, from a diecesed space hampster, to an overgrown pliigi. And after a certain amount of time thousands upon thousands of tons of garbage had gotten to close to the orbit and the nanochip and were held there together. The first item (after the nanochip) that got caught was a disinhereted, indestrucable, circular space pod that would have ran right into the nanochip if it wasn't for it being in orbit as the 4th plannet in the planetary system, wraped itself around it and protecting the nanochip from sure destruction. After time, more and more trash, debree, and moldy space tacos got slammed into the ever growing trash planet making it the biggest planet in the planetary system.

The humans eventualy found out about this planet and since it was so wrought with trash they decided to haul their own trash to this planet. On one of their garbage ships was a quite large electrical cable decided to get a mind of its own. (everything was quite high tech for the humans) It eventualy convinced all the other ellectrical cables to have minds of their own. So the army of self reliant electrical cables, (you can see where this is going) decided to strangle every human on the garbage ship and take control. Since they didn't have arms they couldn't control the ship and crashed it into the planet it had been heading too anyway. A total of 5000 electrical cables survived the crash and intense atmospheric heat. They came out onto the planet and started burrowing into the ground. (becoming the first semi living things called W.O.R.M.s(Well off robotic monster) Well the very first self reliant W.O.R.M.. decided to be a little daring and bore to the core of the planet. It had got to the very hot inner core of the plannet, but they were heat resistant cables so the W.O.R.M. didn't really give a crap about the heat.It had made it to the inner core and found the smallest hole and wriggled through. Hovever, its tail got stuck. It streached just long enough to touch the nanochip, became overcome with information, and froze there for about 500 years.

And after all this time the W.O.R.M.s had learned to breed and eat trash. So they were the dominant species for all that time. Even though there had been a huge loss in the garbage industry they still got rid of their trash to this planet. (yet to be nammed) Well upon entering the gassy atmosphere the gasses made one of the ships go haywire and everyone was electrictuted to death on contact. It hit the planet leaving a huge crator the size of england. (it was a big big big planet) Since it was still electricly haywire the electricity stormed through the mostly dead and metal planet.

When the electricity had reached the center of the planet it touched the stuck end of the electrical cable, sending electricity to the dead nanochip. The nanochip had a very interesting piece of data on it. Before it had died it had the secret of life and knowlage on it. It was made to make more humans (like we needed anymore) It was brought back to life by the electrical surge on the planet Since the crashed garbage ship was still receving its power wirelesslessly it will always be sending off more electricity. So when the nanochip was brought back to life it gave life to some very loose debree at the top. It made very crudely created imitations of humans and other animals on earth with magnetism. Each human andriod had their own hopes, dreams, and skills. They were completely independant. Smarter than humans really. And after some time they decided they were ugly and found lasers to attach to themselfs to mold themselfs more attractive. So they were good looking andriods now. Well after about 100 years they wondered why there was a very powerful ruin and what it was for. So a brave little andriod ventured inside and found the thing that recieved the electricity wirelessly. When the andriod got both feet off the ground they lost power completely and died. So jumping was every mechs greatest fear. the little andriod made a wireless attachment and connnected to the same feed that the ship recieved electricity from. he shared this idea with all the other andriods and they all did it too. They could now do whatever they wanted. The andriods were independant.

Feel free to quote this everybody. It is the androids history and their rights to be a playable species!!!!!

they are supposed to be their own race. not controlled vehicles.

Where do you get that from? Did I miss something?

Yeah, unless I'm out of the loop, Jagex never confirmed or denied any race distinctions. For all we know, Pliigi might have been scrapped.
