Bass X Machina | Minotaur Fight | Sneak Peek | Netflix
A new Bass X Machina clip shows Bass confronting a mechanical minotaur in a town. The animated Netflix series is scheduled to premiere on November 3, 2026.
A scene has been revealed in which Bass faces off against a mechanical minotaur in the middle of town, showing that the action in *Bass X Machina* extends beyond gunfights to close-quarters combat with giant mechanical monsters. This confrontation most directly illustrates the series’ setting: a steampunk Western where outlaws and machines coexist.
The Conditions of Battle Created by the Minotaur
In the released footage, Bass responds alongside his companions in a town under attack by a mechanical minotaur. The streets and buildings of the Western town become the battlefield, with the enemy’s size and destructive power restricting movement routes. Unlike a duel with a humanoid opponent, the enemy’s weight and charges themselves pose a threat, turning the battle into a matter not only of firepower but also positioning and securing an escape route.
An Enforcer Trying to Protect His Family
At the center of the series, as described by Netflix, is a father trying to protect his family. In a world where brutal outlaws, machines, and supernatural horrors intertwine, Bass is forced to take judgment and enforcement into his own hands, caught in a conflict where the more he upholds justice, the more he risks losing the people he is trying to protect. His clash with the minotaur condenses the threats of this vast world into a single scene.
Adult Animation Brought to Life by Studio Mir
Studio Mir is handling the animation, with LeSean Thomas and Brian Tyree Henry among the executive producers. Brian Tyree Henry voices Bass, while Janelle Monáe, Tati Gabrielle, Cree Summer, Chaske Spencer, Currie Graham, and Starletta DuPois are part of the voice cast. Netflix announced that the series will be released on November 3, 2026.
