The Robot Mafia was based in Fronty's Meat Market, New New York, and was a highly successful crime syndicate, turning their metallic hands to everything, from running numbers to stealing cigars. The Planet Express crew fell victim to the Robot Mafia at one point, not knowing that Bender was hired to participate in the robbery. Thanks to Bender, the crew survived, clueless to what really went on whilst they were blindfolded on the bridge of the Planet Express ship.
