Now that the Machina's body has replaced all traces of human biology, she is able to operate at 100% strength, which can include inhumanly fast sprinting and reflexes, and lifting human vehicles without issue. As such, she is vastly stronger than a Category 2 Machina. Despite her body being made entirely of Machinium alloys, the lightest Machina will only weigh about 150 kilograms in total, whilst having a mass of 15 tonnes. This is again thanks to her Anti-Inertia Systems which are permanently operating at their full capacity. Finalized development also means the Machina has much more potent [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Fluids breastmilk] and [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Fluids semen].

A Machina's development now takes the form of a cycle where she upgrades one of her systems with a Larva, then attempts to become stronger through adaptation to tolerate another Larva, and so on. When a Queen-class Machina ejaculates into a Category 3 Machina it is called [[Blessing]]. In addition to receiving powerful traits belonging to the Queen, the Category 3 Machina will also receive [[Gyno Mode]] from her. Category 3 Machina must have an initial stockpile of energy to activate Gyno Mode, as it invariably consumes more energy than any Category 3 Machina can produce. Bonding with Larvae to attain additional sub-Cores is the only way to extend the limited amount of time the Category 3 Machina can remain in Gyno Mode.

Category 4 is composed of Machina who have ascended to the Queen-class by unlocking Queen-Code within the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/M2_Nanomachines#Instinct_Code Instinct-Code] of their M2 Nanomachines. This occurs in two ways: The first and most common way is through the accumulation of many adaptations over time, and traits from other Machina via sex, in a combination that is powerful enough to satisfy the evolving conditions within the Instinct-Code of her M2 Nanomachines. To unlock Queen-Code, a Category 3 Machina often may need to develop from her initial Class into a Hybrid of two Classes, then into a Chimera of three or more Classes before she unlocks Queen-Code. The second way is much less common; very rarely, an infected person naturally possesses many extremely strong traits and unlocks Queen-Code immediately. In this scenario, her M2 Nanomachines will not stop at Category 3 and will continue upgrading her until she finishes development at Category 4 as a Queen-class Machina.

To unlock Queen-Code, a Category 3 Machina often may need to develop from her initial Class into a Hybrid of two Classes, and potentially into a Chimera of three or more Classes before she unlocks Queen-Code. Very rarely, an infected person naturally possesses many extremely strong traits and unlocks Queen-Code immediately. In this scenario, her M2 Nanomachines will not stop at Category 3 and will continue upgrading her until she finishes development at Category 4 as a Queen-class Machina.
Ascending to Category 4 causes the new Queen to overwrite the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/M2_Nanomachines#Cluster_Code Cluster-Code] of her M2 Nanomachines with her own, new Cluster-Code. Anything the new Queen corrupts will inherit her new Cluster-Code and subsequently belong to her. They can then spread her Cluster-Code to others, bringing them under the new Queen's control as well.

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. Other traits exclusive to Category 4 Machina are the Queen's third eye and her [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology?venotify=created#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're still permanently fused to the Machina, or Vehicle-type, where they're 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 indefinitely.

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.
