I'd seen a picture with the New(grounds)-bots in the settings and it got me curious as to who they were, aside from good ol' P-bot. I later finally found the "Portal Bot Posse", here.
And digging into its comments I found:

Okay! I think I got this figured out.
P-Bot is inspired from VINCENT.
I-Bot is inspired from Johnny 5.
G-Bot is inspired from ELECTRO.
M-Bot is inspired from your own series of ALLOY.
And both F-Bot and A-Bot are Transformers inspirations (Soundwave & Arcee)
This is a pretty kick-ass group picture.

and as a whole the groups' shapes and colors were inspired by Mighty Orbots.
There's a lot of comments on what their letters mean.

Makes me want to make a T[itillating]-Bot or a L[ove]-Bot, with the power to LEWD everything!
I also learned how to leave messages on Newgrounds front-page.
Being a Supporter is awesome!
