Hell Divers 2: The TRUTH about the AUTOMATONS!

Playing Hell Divers 2 taking out the Automatons in the 1st go 'round. We play with some newer stratagems and concentrate on Automaton weak points. Also start asking the questions of what is the story of the Automatons? Are they the Hell Divers of old? Are they bugs in suits? Is the Ministry of Truth behind this? Am I at risk for even asking such a question?
