Well you could buy the Rifts Source book 2 : Mechanoids. It goes over the past (like origin) and how they became the new invading Mechanoids.

Really quickly.
Mechanoids are cybernetic begings. They're originally human, but genetic engineering has made them into little more then gray matter. They could live outside their cybernetic bodies, but they're like an infant.

They were created by a technologically advanced race of humans. They wanted to explore the universe but (I guess believed) they were too weak physically. They genetically augmented those that would be astronauts and gave them cybernetic suits for protection. Over time they became more alien from who they were and it scared the humans. The humans eventually kill the Machanoids left on the planet, the others returned and found out what happened. So as a result the Mechanoids became fanatically hateful of humans and humanoids.

Everything else you should get the books for. Again Source book 2 summarize a lot of it, without losing much detail.

Um, how is that acting "as if they were pure machines"? Machines don't feel, and they especially don't feel hate. That sorta emotional response is generally a sign of intelligent life.

And besides, the Coalition States hates all non-human intelligent life, but nobody ever complains that this makes the CS seem more like a nation of artificial intelligences than a nation of human beings :)

once a human or several humans are capture by mechanoids, what happens to them after that? are they keeps as pets or they get eated or the mechanoids do experiment on them(and what kind of experiments)?


They're killed. Eventually. The mechanoids aren't exactly rational all the time though, so there's a fair chance they'll be kept around for sadistic games or pointless experiments first. If the Mechanoids have bigger fish to fry though, they'll probably execute any captives there and then.
