Eight nigh-invulnerable killing machines that are designed by Exdor as a means to kill Jack, each having a unique method of attack. Aku then empowers and tests them by destroying Exdor's village and other villages to lure the Samurai out. It took a metal gauntlet made by Exdor and divine intervention for Jack to destroy them.

Eight nigh-invulnerable killing machines that are designed created by Exdor as a means to kill Jack, each having a unique method of attack. Aku then empowers empowered them and tests decided to test them by destroying Exdor's village and other villages to lure the Samurai out. It took out, with Jack requiring the help of a metal strength-enhancing gauntlet made by Exdor and divine intervention for Jack to destroy them.



* CurbStompBattle: Deal one to Jack in their first fight thanks to his sword being unable to cut through them. When he gets the PowerFist from Exdor he fights them on more equal terms until it runs out of power, though until Jack gets his divine intervention he's unable to even land a single blow on the last one.
* EliteMooks: They are probably the deadliest of Aku's robots, and Jack could only kill them with the help of [[GadgeteerGenius Exdor]] and [[DivineIntervention the gods]].

* NoSell: Exdor worked long and hard to make them a match for Jack, and as such his initial attacks aren't able to phase them. Despite the superior power of his sword, they were made of adamantium, which meant that Jack lacked the raw strength to cut them. Exdor evens this out by giving him a power gauntlet that augments his strength to where he is able to slice through the robots. [[spoiler:When the power for the arm runs out, Jack summons the power of his ancestors and of the spirits to give him a boost to destroy the last robot]].

* RoboticPsychopath: Averted. Their rampages definitely give off this vibe, especially since the show plays up the sheer carnage and dying survivors. In reality this isn't the case; there was no sadism to all the killings, just a tried and true way to drum up Jack's attentions. In reality the Ultra Bots are simply machines; cold and unfeeling.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: All of them. They look like they'd be rank-and-file mooks that Jack wouldn't have any real difficulty destroying thanks to their awkward and lanky-looking designs and silly gimmick of transforming into baskets to disguise themselves, but they swiftly prove to be too much for Jack to handle, leaving him no choice but to seek Exdor's help and equipping a specially-made arm that enhances his strength. [[spoiler:And even then, Jack has to call on the power of his ancestors and of the spirits once the power in the arm runs out after destroying all of them but one.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: While they were programmed with knowledge of all of Jack's combat moves and are certainly far more deadly than any other robot Jack has faced, the main thing that gives them the edge against Jack in their first confrontation was the fact that Jack simply couldn't cut them. Once Jack is given a PowerFist to augment his strength he takes most of them down with relative ease. The only exception is the leader armed with only an adamantium katana who proves to be Jack's equal in swordsmanship and gains the advantage once Jack starts tiring.

* {{Foil}}: He's somewhat this to Princess Mira from the Season 4 episode "XLIV", as both are combatants in armors, which involve wearing helmets, who have significant levels of fighting skills, but the differences between them, besides gender, are heavily present, as well:
** Princess Mira is the more openly sympathetic one between them, due to the fact that she and her people were all enslaved by Aku, whereas the Dominator '''''hardly''''' has any sort of revealed backstory behind his ruthless sadism.
** Princess Mira is fairly more amiable when it comes to interactions despite being a cunning bounty hunter herself, while the Dominator shows ''no'' signs of evident friendliness towards others.
** Princess Mira knows when to let go of something she has no match for in a combat (even reluctantly), as opposed to the Dominator, whose sense of perseverance in a fight is rather questionable.



* MirrorCharacter: He's somewhat like this to Princess Mira from the Season 4 episode "XLIV", as both are combatants in armors, which involve wearing helmets, who have significant levels of fighting skills. However, there are still a few key differences between them, aside from gender:

* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: He is a demonic henchman working for Aku, who has an amusingly high-pitched voice that contrasts greatly with his overall appearance. Jarringly enough he's voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson, who's better known for playing many other characters on this show that have [[BassoProfundo very]] [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]] voices.

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: After she completely hindered Jack from moving by tying his feet with her umbrella's chain, he then uses that function not only against her, but also her ex-husband Ezekiel in order to finally stop both of them.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveInterestTraitor: Just as the duo were seemingly about to reconcile their previous romance, Josephine then backstabs Ezekiel by making him fall down the train since she wants the reward of hunting down Jack all to herself, only for her to join with her ex-husband thanks to Jack using her umbrella's chain against both of them.

* StarringSmurfette: Out of all the bounty hunters in "XLIV", Princess Mira was given the most focus in terms of story, as she wasn't just their established leader, but also has a bigger purpose for targeting Jack than greed (with that being [[FemalesAreMoreInnocent the possible freedom of her kingdom]]).
