Will Professor X mind control Robots?

After doing some research I found why Emma is able to Mind Control robots.
Tech Champs have class advantage over Emma so they can't be immune to Mind Control.
This makes zero sense.
Tech champs have Class advantage over Omega Red but his Death Spores stack slowly on them.
Medusa has class advantage over Tech but she is able to Armor shatter and reduce Robot's AAR.
Human Torch has class advantage over mystic but he still have special bonus against them.
Professor X will be soon in the game.
I just want to know if Robot champs will ever get mind control immunity?

I'm talking about the mind control abilities that Emma and ProfX have. Robots should be immune to it.
He can't do that in the game.
Make it so when Doom's Aura of Haazareth is active he resist mind control.
Class advantage is just an excuse to get around this.
As Mayis above said. Dragon Man is robot but mystic class. Not all robots are tech now.
Unrelated from the post, but it's one of my favourite "big events", love it!
Going back to the discussion, i think this choice of champions immune to telepathic abilities was meant to give us only a lore related easter egg while still allowing her to be effective against most of the champions.
I agree that from a logic perspective robots should be immune too, but we know that sometimes this game follows the lore and logic well, sometimes not, and i have no particular problems with that. As long as they inform us about these abilities and immunities i'm ok with this kind of choice
From a fiction perspective, there's no reason robots shouldn't be affected by, or even use telepathy:
- There's several Marvel characters with forms of 'Technopathy' that affects robots (Sage, Cybermancer, Wiz Kid). So robots are potentially fair game for any mutant.
- In Star Trek, the Borg are cyborgs with a telepathic hive-mind.
- Isaac Asimov wrote about several robots (Sonny from I, Robot; Daneel and Giskard) with unique positronic brains, who used telepathy on humans.
- In the Heroes universe, there are champions like Micah and Hana Gitelman who can mentally control machines/robots.
So robots and telepathy can mix. Let's just wait and see what Kabam do.
I'm not saying that robots can't be controlled. The characters you mentioned were designed to do that. But not Emma and ProfX.
There's difference between Telepathy and Technopathy.
At this point, I'm pretty comfortable dodging a duped Emma's specials using reversed controls. If I also had to watch when my Aura was up when fighting her to figure out if I needed to swipe forward or backward to evade a special, I can guarantee I'll be eating a lot more of Emma's special attacks.
Just read their abilities. You will know what a champion is able to do
My point is that Kabam can decide to have their version of Professor X effective or ineffective against robots, and either decision is perfectly acceptable.
They already decided to leave Emma effective against robots; but might decide differently with designing Prof X.
And that's fine.
Emma's inverse control only works when she is on defense. When used on offense it doesn't affect the game's AI.
Robots also have AI.
