His real name is {{nihongo|'''Prometheus'''|プロメテス|Purometesu}}, and his serial number is R-66Y. He uses his robotic arm as a weapon and although [[Spekkio]] cannot grant him the power to use magic (Spekkio being unable to properly read his character), Robo can use laser attacks that are similar to [[Shadow]] [[magic]] and bomb attacks that are similar to [[Fire]] magic. He also sports several healing techs. Along with his sturdy physique and high physical damage capabilities, he is the most versatile character in ''Chrono Trigger''. | ||

*As with Atropos XR, his mechanical lover, Robo was named after a figure in Greek Mythology. Renowned for his mischievous intelligence, [[Wikipedia:Prometheus|Prometheus the Titan]] stole fire from Zeus and provided it to early humans. Prometheus is often blamed, in ancient sources, for his pivotal role in history. Likely, Robo was given this extra name to explicate his role as a time-traveler and his outright defiance of Mother Brain for sympathizing with humans. | *As with Atropos XR, his mechanical lover, Robo was named after a figure in Greek Mythology.
