A Life Extender Machine is a large device with many dials, lights and mechanical components that, when connected to someone, can sustain their life indefinitely. It was first introduced in the comic Loose Canon, where two such devices have kept the two rivals Non-player characters#Blutarch and Redmond MannBlutarch and Redmond Mann alive for over 50 years. The machines themselves were built by Radigan Conagher, the current BLU Engineer's grandfather, after being exposed to intelligence-enhancing Australium. Conagher also built a third Life Extender Machine for reasons unknown, though it wasn't revealed for whom this one was created, but apparently it was created for Gray Mann. However, Gray Mann's life extender machine is greatly different from that of his brothers.

In about 1960, the BLU Engineer was summoned by his employer Blutarch, who explained that the machine was broken and didn't work correctly. The Engineer soon obtained his grandfather's blueprints to repair the machine, but Blutarch warned him not to build one for himself.

Two mobile life extender machines were seen with Redmond in Blutarch Mann sometime in 1970, attached by pumps to wheelchairs and moderated by multiple Engineers, suggesting the machines have been modified since. A third, much more advanced life extender machine is shown embedded in the spine of Gray Mann.

In the first part of the six-part comic, Ring of Fired, it is revealed that Gray Mann's life extender machine (and possibly Blutarch and Redmond's as well) is fueled by Australium.

Trivia

  • The date of each machine's completion is recorded on the blueprints; Blutarch Mann's Life-Extender Machine was built on July 17th 1894, and Redmond's machine was created on August 3rd of the same year. The date on the blueprint for the third machine is April 14th of an unknown year, the year being obscured.
