Robo (ロボ Robo?) is a robot originally created to assist humans at the Proto Dome. His real name is Prometheus (プロメテス Purometesu?), and his serial number R-66Y. Having a curious and bright personality, he was rendered dormant by the apocalypse in 1999 AD, but is found and repaired by Lucca in the year 2300 AD. Upon his reactivation, Robo has no memory of his prior mission and joins the party. 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.
In an optional side quest, Robo is punished by his corrupted maker, "Mother Brain", for having sympathy for humans, and he meets his long-lost companion robot Atropos XR. In another side quest, Robo can volunteer to spend four hundred years restoring Fiona's forest. During this time, Robo ponders the existence of an "Entity", a being having guided Crono and his friends through time for some purpose. He explains his theory to the party when they are reunited outside the Forest Shrine in 1000 AD.
In the best ending, Robo still exists in the new timeline and as the Epoch is searching for Crono's mother, Robo and Atropos XR are overlooking a more beautiful landscape (as Lavos didn't destroy it in 1999 AD).
In the Japanese version, Robo has a unique speech; he speaks with bits of katakana in his sayings and has trouble with pronunciations. Most of the robots talk in all katakana, with the exception of Johnny.
Appearance
Abilities
Robo is a very useful character shortly after he joins the party. With Cure Beam and Heal Beam, Robo is capable of administering healing, although less effectively than Marle. His repertoire of powerful abilities makes him a powerful combatant, and his HP skyrockets at higher levels. Two of his weapons are among the strongest in the game, the Crisis and Apocalypse Arms. The Crisis Arm's damage is based on the last digit of Robo's HP, and the Apocalypse Arm, though it has an attack power of 1, it always inflicts 9999 damage on critical hits. Therefore, equipping him with the Dragon's Tear (specifically in the DS release) is a wise decision, as his critical rate increases.

Chrono Cross
In Chrono Cross, Robo makes an appearance as the Prometheus Circuit terminated by FATE. Masato Kato has officially gone on record as stating the circuit is Robo. "Anyway, if you have played Trigger, then Prometheus should be very familiar to you. I'm sure a lot of players would make a similar 'big fuss' over the death of such a much-loved friend..."
