Robot is a red and blue educational robot toy that appeared in the Toy Story film series. He is shown to be good friends with Snake, as they're always seen together. Robot is also known to be good with building blocks. He and Snake appear to be acquainted if not friends with Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Rex, and Slinky, as they are usually seen sitting with them during meetings and sharing space to sleep on the bookshelf.
In addition to having capability to speak, Robot also makes continuous electronic sounds and beeps when idle. He has an alarm-like sound whenever he maneuvers, that is also heard when he is panicked. He may also have a sound for the emotion of shock.
Trivia[]
- Robot appears to be loosely based on the Playskool RC Robot released in 1993, and has some notable similarities to WALL•E, particularly his robotic arms and treads. His voice lines, "Hi! Yo dude what's up?" come from the MyPal2 toy robot from 1991.
- Speaking of his voice, his "Mr. Lightyear wants more tape!" line is more lower pitched in comparison to his "Yo dude, what's up?" line.
- In the Christmas ending from the Toy Story Animated Storybook game, clicking on Robot will make him do an imitation of the robot from Lost in Space.
- Robot has only three spoken lines in Toy Story.
- Robot's mouth lights up when he talks similarly to Emperor Zurg.
- Both Robot and Snake have been known to be the most popular background characters.
- His early concept art indicates that he was originally going to be a more "regular" robotic figure.
- In his brief cameo in Toy Story 3, Robot is missing his colorful light dome.
