My theory is this...

The Nocturnus Clan were small in number but their lands had great resources. Knuckles Tribe were conquers and outnumbered the Nocturnus Clan. The echidnas of Nocturne needed a miracle and from the heavens some cosmic entidy answered them by delivering Emerl. What the Nocturnus echidnas lacked in strength they made up with intelligence, they studied Emerl and began manufacturing the first gizoids, which I imagine them as primitive clay golems animated by alchemy and basic mechanisms they could make for their time.

It turns out though that Emerl was both the test and the judge to see if the Noctune Clan were too advance for their own good. Deeming them a major thread, Emerl summoned Argus to rip Nocturne from their homelands to keep into the Twilight Cage. Throughout the chaos Emerl was left behind.

In the Twilight Cage the Nocturne Clan became the Marauders and discovered the neighbouring colonies had more ideal materials to build Gizoids with. Metals from Kron Colony, power from Zoah Colony, Voxai and N'rrgal for wiring, circuitry or somrthing.

I imagine if Sonic Chronicles had a sequal, it would be Gemerls forgotten purpose is rebooted within him as he summons Argent to take the Eggman Empire away, that or GUN given they're just as technically advanced.
