What's Junk? (The Mech Touch)

I may be to slow at the moment but who's cursed? Is it all humans or just the ones on that planet?
It is the Cosmopolitan infection. The one that makes Humans see Xenos as more important. When Humanity first left its cradle, they weren't so xenophobic. They sent ambassadors and scientists and tourists to other alien civilizations. And suffered for it. Some ate people, some back-stabbed humanity, some were actively hostile, and at least one created a spiritual-active viral infection that makes a Human see any sentient non-human as more important than any number of humans.
 
"Another thing you do not know!" The Arboretian seemed gleeful at that. "Oh, I will deign to inform you of some of it, if only because it will torment you more. Based on our studies, someone cursed your people long ago. We simply take advantage of it when we can. It is general knowledge amongst us by the way, so enjoy the knowledge that you cannot trust your fellows. The affliction is masterfully beautiful, impossible to remove, and embedded in your very sense of humanity. "

Clearly this is the curse of Xianxia!
 
If you wanna suggest them I don't mind.
Then can I suggest some of the Zoids? because the Liger Zero has a potentially neat gimmick in changing roles based on the armor it's equipped with for potential third rate shenanigans (Before we get into the Fuzors anime that lets some Zoids fuse together for more power.), and Gilvader is a dragon Zoid with gravity saws and LEO capabilities in lore. For some examples.
 
I think you did a good job of depicting an alien intelligence close enough to human to be understandable but alien enough to be unique.
It's always great when aliens aren't humans with long ears.
