The Auto Broom is a type of robotic enemy that first appear in the original Space Ace arcade game
The robots attempt to trap Dexter inside an all-encompassing, cellophane-like material when he visits one of the game's stages, referred to in some manuals as the "Junk Planet."[1] Ace’s blaster is able to penetrate through the containment and destroy the Auto Broom units.
An Auto Broom also appears in the Space Ace animated series, which functions as a minion of Commander Borf, answering to his command to entrap his foes within a bubble-like containment field.
