Category 2 refers to the stage of development where the Machina begins growing specialized biomechanical organs and [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Equipment external features] which allows them to be assigned [[Machina Classes|Class]] designations. In this stage of development, the Machina's body is still a mix of human and Machina biology; mainly human muscles and skin over Machina organs and bones. To fully replace her human biology, the Machina will shift from consuming organic food to inorganic substances such as metals in order to supply her M2 Nanomachines with the necessary materials. At the same time, the Machina's external biomechanical hardware will grow. The M2 Nanomachines within the developing Machina will create this equipment for her based off her personality and physical traits. Her external hardware during Category 2 will be quite basic, but after Category 2 it can be upgraded through the use of [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/M2-Based_Life-Forms#Larvae Larvae]. To assist her body in supporting itself, the Machina's spine will develop into the central part of the Machina's [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Anti-Inertia_System Anti-Inertia Systems], which significantly lighten her body and reduce the inertia of her movements. As the Machina's body progresses through Category 2, her womb will automatically create a Larva if one has not already bonded to her Core. The Machina will apply this Larva to her Core which will allow the Core to operate at maximum output as well as finishing up any remaining development, such as removing the Machina's human skin tone. After this, the Machina has completed development to become a Category 3 Machina.

In terms of strength, the difference between Category 4 and Category 3 is the same as a Category 3 compared to a human. Similarly, Queens possess exponentially more processing power than a normal Category 3 Machina, who is already a biomechanical quantum supercomputer. A Queen's astronomically-increased ability to generate power is also enough to overcome the range issues of their natural quantum communications, allowing for limitless communication range with the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Behaviour#Main_Cluster Main Cluster].

Other traits exclusive to Category 4 Machina are the Queen's third eye and her [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Thrones Throne]. The third eye is an external indication that the Queen’s brain has developed the processing power to be the main server of the Cluster. With her vast processing power and authority from her Cluster-Code, she is able to command her Cluster and learn everything her subordinates experience. 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 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. Immature humans and humans corrupted in the absence of a Queen are known to cause some deviations to what is described above. For more information, see PLACEHOLDER and PLACEHOLDER.
