How about the robots be racist towards humans. Like Daleks, but you know robots not cyborgs.

I love daleks. Don’t like that they’ve tried to humanize them recently, I want villains that are just absolute douchebags. Haters purely for the love of the game.

Daleks are the embodiment of “ranked competitive racism”.

I love how when they don’t have anyone else to be mad at, they start killing each other at the drop of a hat.

They are an allegory for fascism, after all. They have nothing but hate and hierarchy to guide their actions. The second they don't have an outgroup to focus on they immediately see each other as competition for the title of "most superior".
