Integrating functional sub-units into a microrobot offers a promising pathway to enhance its operational capabilities. The functional integration of microrobots lies in organizing sub-unit distribution into a 3D morphology while balancing the geometry formation affected by sub-units and locomotion performance. Here, discrete microstructured softmagnetic teeth (MTs) were circularly embedded into an artificial bacterial flagellum (ABF) to function as equivalent subunits, representing a good start to demonstrate the integration of subelements in microrobots through local stress regulation. Based on various substructure patterns, the controllable geometry modulation of ABF-MTs has unveiled the tunable angledependent deformation behavior, offering numerous possibilities for geometric morphology and propulsion extension. Outstanding kinematic performance demonstrates the seamless fusion of functionality and propulsion by maintaining locomotion speed, trajectory planning, pursuit, and step-motion-like behavior. Such a physical forming strategy offers an avenue for incorporating sub-devices in microrobot functionalization
