After establishing the Core, the rest of the Category 1 Machina's internal organs will be replaced with the standard internal organs common across all Machina Classes and Types, such as the M2 Nanomachine production organs in the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Breasts breasts] or the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Sex_Organs genitalia] of the Machina. It is also around this time, immediately after Core completion, that the M2 Nanomachines now circulating in the body will have rectified any damage or disease conditions they encountered in the host body, assuming it wasn't identified as being fatal during initial infection and therefore attended to sooner.

As the essential Machina organs are being completed, the M2 Nanomachines will also begin restructuring the body into the shape of a beautiful woman regardless of the Machina's original biological sex. The body restructuring is primarily the result of the bones being converted into [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Machinium Machinium]. When the conversion of the bones is complete, the Machina will usually stand between 180cm and 220cm in height, excluding horns and built-in high-heels. All Machina from this point onwards are futanari. Commonly, those who were female as humans gain retractile penises and generate cum from their ovaries, while male humans keep their testicles and thus have penises which are always external when becoming a Machina.

When the biomechanical organs are all complete and the body has restructured itself, the Machina's brain will be remade. As the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Brain brain] is converted to Machina biology, the Machina will grow [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Horns horns] which are her link to the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Behaviour#Clusters Cluster]. The Queen-class Machina in control of the Cluster will download useful information from the developing Machina to herself, whilst deleting what she determines to be useless or otherwise unnecessary information from the developing Machina's mind. Next, the Queen will custom-tailor the new Machina's neural pathways so that the new Machina's brain is best optimized for Machina thinking and processing. Lastly, the Queen will upload a standardized database to the developing Machina containing factual knowledge and essential mental programming. When this is combined with the optimized Machina neural network, it ensures the newly-corrupted Machina thinks and acts in the ways that are most conducive to the survival and proliferation of the Machina and M2 Nanomachines. These mental changes together have the added effect of removing any detrimental mental conditions. After these changes the original entity and their personality are still present at the core of the new Machina, since the process does not affect the original consciousness.

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 Petite Machina and Proto-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.

=== Petite Machina ===

=== Petite Machina ===

Petite Machina refers to the petite style of body some Machina may have. It occurs mainly when a human with low body mass is infected with M2 Nanomachines. Most often, this is a human who is not yet sufficiently mature, but can also be due to extreme age and withering of an elderly human. If a human is not at least an adolescent approaching physical maturity, they will simply remain infected with mostly-dormant M2 Nanomachines. The M2 Nanomachines will operate on low power for long term sustainability and carry out only the bare minimum of activities, such as assisting the immune system and correcting genetic diseases. When the M2 Nanomachines conclude that the body is matured and capable of being corrupted, they will start the corruption process. This may also occur if a human who is very elderly is corrupted into a Machina. Due to having such withered bodies, the M2 Nanomachines choose to rebuild the infected human into this petite shape rather than a full-sized Machina.

Petite Machina refers to the petite style of body some Machina may have. It occurs mainly when a human with low body mass is infected with M2 Nanomachines. Most often, this is due to extreme age and withering of an elderly human but can be any human with very low body mass such as a barely-eligible adolescent human. If a human who is very elderly is corrupted into a Machina. Due to having such withered bodies, the M2 Nanomachines choose to rebuild the infected human into this petite shape rather than a full-sized Machina.

Since this occurs when the infected human's body is not ideally suited to becoming a full-figured Machina, it causes the following: During Category 1, the M2 Nanomachines will still attempt to rebuild the body into a feminine shape, but the result is often a petite figure. Their breasts and upper body in general will be small, and they may only have wide, feminine hips. Their height will be approximately 150cm, excluding horns and heel-struts. These Machina will progress to Category 3 with this appearance. These Machina will be weak, and need to be nurtured by the Breeder-class Machina of the Cluster. With their help, the Petite Machina will grow into a regular Category 3 Machina with a full womanly figure. However, it is possible for the Machina to keep their petite shape as they get stronger, if the Machina truly desires it.
