The WF was a known Terran force operating in the Jungles of Colombia. Outfitted with the latest Rothchild bots such as Caesar’s their ruthless rep was legendary. The WF Dropcloths i.e. would take the heads of fallen Martian enemy soldiers as a form of a trophy and intimidation.

The origins of their name remains a mystery, Ash once commented that its stands for Watery Fingers but quickly revealed that was not the case. What we do know for sure via Ash is that this colorway is inspired by or represents Ashley’s dad’s time in the military making this colorway and its featured personal decals. The decals include WF, a snake/flower image, M61, DBG’s and what appears to be a V inside a solid circle.

The bots feature sporadic camo patterns on a dark military green to blend in to their surroundings, colors like white broken up with horizontal black stripes and bright yellow is also common on WF bots. In the dense thick jungle these colors can also act as camouflage among the colorful foliage and plant life confusing enemies. 

In the context of WWR this colorway was revealed to be working directly for Rothchild under deep cover inside Terran ranks. This elaborate deception was exposed when Rothchild was driven from his moon-base by a fated N.O.M. attack; badly injured he fled directly to the safety of the WF forces located in Colombia. The WF soldiers that retrieved him referred to Rothchild with code-name “Father” (much like the bots do) revealing how tightly aligned they are with him. After that it was impossible to remain in deep cover within Terran ranks and with Father at home a change or priorities was inevitable. They became the now known Rothchild jungle digi-camo colorway.

Protecting Rothchild and pursuing his goals seem to be their main focus. He has been seen joining them in battle, leading the charge protected by his loyal soldiers and Robots. What they have learned via the long time in deep cover from the Terran forces is valuable to Rothchild’s plan and survival moving forward. Were they working for Rothchild on earth from the start of the Great War? Or were they infiltrated by his agents during the conflict and the leadership was replaced? They have been and will remain to be equipped with Rothchild’s latest and best robots and weaponry; they will need them in order to repel the oncoming attack via Von Nom and his misfit group hunting Rothchild known as the shitty nine.
 
Decals
 
 
Note the snake flower on the elbow joint.
The snake flower is the most non-military looking decal they feature and seems very much in line with their dual loyalties in the war.
Note the large WF decals
The most iconic is of course the WF, their designation but what that stands for it’s a mystery; it is large and prominent on the bots leading me to believe that it alone can scare enemy soldiers due to their brutal rep.
Note DGB's on the upper right of the Mighty Square
The DBG’s decal is most likely a nod to commanding officers initials.

Note the M61 on the end of the cannon.

Note the V on the lower left of the bot (our right)
The M61 is a call sign possibly for all WF or a specific division within their ranks and the same can be said for the V within solid circle.
