| - Robo appears as a somewhat bulky metallic android, standing at about 5'5" and weighing about a quarter of a ton, built in such a way that he is impervious to gunfire or explosives. Though he may look invincible this way, repeated exposure to explosives seem to knock him out or make him dizzy nonetheless. Alternative weapons such as energy or electromagnetic fields tend to deal the most damage to his system, but as Robo goes through repeated upgrades through the years, he develops some amount of immunity to them. His most prominent feature is his face, which are only two glowing, light-blue eyes, with a line going down on a symmetrical pattern from his forehead to his chin. Though a robot, Robo is often seen wearing clothes, usually in a shirt and military cargo pants as well as combat boots. It is often a running gag for his shirt to get torn off whenever he's in the middle of a fight, unless he's wearing kevlar armor. Because of the "automatic intelligence" built into him, Robo is able to move freely, act, learn, and speak like a human, as if he isn't a robot, but a human with metal for skin. According to Brian Clevinger, his brain functions much like an average intelligent human: he is able to learn at a slow, consistent rate, and can recollect and forget things. He can speak various languages, but to varying degrees of fluency. His main perk is that his mindset is permanently stuck in a state of scientific inspiration and open-mindedness (usually peaking at around the age of 20 to 25 in humans), which is the reason why Robo continues to lead his company with much devotion and energy for more than 60 years, but as a result, gets bored constantly. He is an avid fan of science fiction and aviation, and most of this personality was based off of Brian's grandfather, Michael J. Novosel Sr. Robo is very strictly and logically scientific-minded, and because of that he has a difficult time believing in certain unproven theories such as magic or time travel, and therefore has a thorough hatred for wizards and genius-level talking dinosaurs. He also sometimes comes off as incompetent, most often underestimating the situation at hand or falling into a trap set by a villain. He also has an irrational fear of bugs, and often brings a large weapon with him in situations that involve insects in some way or other. Robo is seen as a mix of multiple 80's pop culture media characters such as Indiana Jones, Buckaroo Banzai, Iron Man and many others. Many classify Robo as akin to Hellboy, though this peeves Clevinger as he had never read it. Contrary to being a scientist, Robo converted to Judaism, but is by no means a frequent observer of the religion.
