Changes

Immature Machina occur mainly when a human who is not yet a physical adult is infected with M2 Nanomachines. When an immature human is infected, the M2 Nanomachines judge the readiness of the human's body. Any human not yet ready to be corrupted into a Machina 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 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 elect 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 yet fully grown, 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 immature 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.

=== Proto-Machina ===

Proto-Machina 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, or may be triggered by [[Outbreak Protocol]]. Once the situation improves, the Proto-Machina will be released from the restrictions and allowed to develop the equipment she would naturally have.
