Whilst humans are based on carbon and other elements to form their bodies, Machina are made of Machinium. Machinium is a combination of biometals unique to M2-based life and embedded [[M2 Nanomachines]]. Biometals are a group of ultra-dense polymer superalloys which vary in their chemical compositions. The reason for this variation is because Machinium always has M2 Nanomachines embedded in it which alter the chemical composition of the biometals in order to adapt the Machinium tissue to new needs, particularly stresses. As an example, if a Machina is hit with a heat-based weapon, the M2 Nanomachines in her body will learn as they repair her, and alter her outer casing's chemical composition to become more heat-resistant. Embedded M2 Nanomachines also carry out repairs and growth, so Machinium appears to be a living metal when observed.

In order for Machinium to adapt to new stresses, grow, and heal, it must be supplied by a circulation system. Blood flows through all [[M2-Based Life-Forms]] for this reason. The blood is comprised of a synthetic fluid medium, raw materials, and free M2 Nanomachines. The circulating M2 Nanomachines supply power from their bodies to the embedded M2 Nanomachines, as well as carrying materials with them to where they are needed. Without power supply to the embedded M2 Nanomachines, Machinium will break down over time, becoming inert liquid biometal alloy and deactivated M2 Nanomachines. For this reason, a sample of a Machina must be studied quickly before it begins disintegrating into simple monomers.
