Chest (チェスト Chesuto?), Plum (プラム Puramu?), and Ripot (リポット Ripotto?) are three reporter robot characters from Mega Man: Battle & Chase that cover the Battle & Chase competition. They had most of their appearances removed from the non-Japanese versions of the game. Chest gives descriptions of courses and parts to the player, Plum interviews the opponent before their first race in Grand Prix Mode, and Ripot appears after Plum's interview and to give the prize after defeating 8 racers (9 when playing with Bass). Both Plum and Ripot make comments during races, and the three have a short appearance in the special credits scene shown after completing the game with all of Dr. Wily's car parts obtained.
