Okay. So a strange ship has been found in the desert. Inside, Nanites of unknown origin have terminated or consumed any soldiers who have entered. The same Nanites have been encountered in Xia, and have had an altercation with The Order in Avkra-Metru. What are they? Where are they from and how did they get here? Well, here's everything so far.
Information told to Nektann in the Xia Shipyards have revealed the Nanites need to be completely incinerated I order to be fully killed. Additional information on their origin and weaknesses have were revealed to Prophet. The Nanites were a medical project intended to repair seriously wounded soldiers on the battlefield, but The Order hijacked the project and programmed them to be used as a weapon. Without fully knowing the code, The Order's modifications caused the Nanites to gain a hive mind based sentience. They travelled from dimension to dimension, consuming all life before moving onto the next. The only way to kill them is to superhero the Nanites which will melt the metal and circuits, and acid based projectiles.
UPDATE 1 - Nanites revealed to be an alternate universe version of Makuta Teridax.

With new details regarding the Nanites coming out, here's a full list of all features plus info on the red aura.
Nanites - Hailing from an unknown dimension, the Nanites are composed of an unknown metal that is near indestructible. While heat cannot melt the shell, it can cause the Nanite shell to reach high temperatures which can fry the interior. This process requires an intense heat. The Nanites to not have a control Nanite in the swarms, instead getting orders from an unknown location. The Nanites are self replicating, but a way they can speed the process up is to consume any organic entity they find. This is not limited to organic matter, but also applies to cybernetic entities that are devoid of organic matter. The Nanites do not have the mental faculties to use mask powers however. In order to counter this, they consume an entity with organic matter and turn that entity to their side, causing it to do their bidding and still retaining elements of its old personality. These Organic Nanite soldiers are the lieutenants. Capable of independent thought and actions without the need for direct instructions via the Nanite Hive Mind. These lieutenants are capable of using mask powers.
The Red(Aura) - Origin unknown, The Red takes the form of a gas like energy. It is manipulated by the na sites through currently unknown means. Due to The Red being a source of constant reproducing energy, it can allow Nanite swarms to go into reproduction overdrive, mass producing Nanites at an accelerated pace.
