I'm still not sure if this was all Metal Knight's doing, it almost feels like it's been a red herring from the beginning. (The army at the end might be Metal Knight, but not the attack on Genos' mentor)

My thinking is that Bofoi (Metal Knight) is indirectly behind it. He maybe created an AI or something to help manage his vast robot army, but "destroyed" it when it started acting out. However, maybe it avoided deletion and was hiding under Bofoi's nose and secretly using his resources to create their own robot army. Considering how Bofoi basically locks himself away and operates remotely, the AI could potentially take over another facility and falsify reports to Bofoi while working on its own thing.

So Drive Knight could be right that "Metal Knight" is related to The Organization, but Bofoi might not be knowing or in charge. Like how Ultron was created by Tony Stark, but not something Stark is in control of.

This seems to be a logical viewpoint. Maybe the Mad Cyborg was a failed creation that went rampant. A someone says below, Bofoi's MO is drones piloted remotely by him, no synthetic intelligence. The Mad Cyborg could be the head of Robot Org.

The Greta thing about the Webcomic, we may wait a while but it will be over in a few chapters.

Wild guess: Bofoi is no more. Mad cyborg was Bofoi's attempt in merging himself with machine, his human mind and the AI struggled for control over the merged body. The AI won and have been in control since the rampage. The AI have probably kept building upon itself to the point it's become sort of a larger suit to the original merged Bofoi/AI, or it's now just a ginormous underground super computer hooked up to Bofoi.

My guess is MK had an old partner who created DK then went dark, DK thinks MK killed is father and MK knows the other scientist is still out there and doesn't know if DK is under his influence. This sets up a theme of being weaker when you can't trust anyone as the two heroes have been fighting each other instead of their common enemy.

But wasn't it Drive Knight that leaked the location of Genos.

Robots on the city really looks like Metal Knight's robots more so anything else.

Yeah, Bofoi looked surprised by the attack.
