A Throne is the Category 4 Machina's equipment. It contributes power to the Queen-class Machina, rather than needing power from the Machina, and will also grant her powerful abilities. Thrones can be either Fusion-type, where they are still permanently fused to the Machina, or Vehicle-type, where they are large enough to act as a vehicle for the Queen and can be separated from her at will. Vehicle-type Thrones have a larger capacity for generating power and possess more abilities, but the Queen loses these when separated. All Category 4 Machina have access to [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Gyno_Mode Gyno Mode] by default. Where they differ from Category 3 Machina is their ability to maintain Gyno Mode for hours as opposed to minutes.

There are a handful of unique circumstances that cause non-standard development cycles for Machina. Humans with low body mass, and humans corrupted in the absence of a Queen, are known to cause some deviations to what is described above. These are Proto-Machina and Petite Machina.

Proto-Machina are Machina with no external equipment, and can be thought of as having no Class at that particular time. This occurs during a certain set of circumstances where expedience is needed for Machina development. In these situations, the Machina are prevented from developing more than the bare essentials so their development is faster, but otherwise develop from Category 1 through to Category 3 as normal. This can be ordered by a Queen whose situation necessitates new forces as soon as possible, but is mainly triggered by [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Behaviour#Outbreak_Protocol Outbreak Protocol] situations. Once the situation improves, the Proto-Machina will be released from the restrictions and allowed to develop the equipment she would naturally have.
