Rotund and bulky, there is no doubt Robo packs a punch. Unlike the other [[R-Series]] robots similar in construction to him, which are blue, and [[Atropos XR]] which is pink, Robo is beige and brown. The color of his metal skin is presumably the result of the weather in [[2300 AD]], which appears to be severely polluted. The color may also be attempt on the part of the game designers to highlight the dissonance between Robo and the other robots of this era. His outer body equates to an exoskeleton of metal plates that splay or separate under duress or emotional excitement. Underneath, there is a soft layer of what appears to be black rubber or another sleek oily material.[[File:Robo_FMV2.png|thumb|left|Robo in the FMV.]] | Rotund and bulky, there is no doubt Robo packs a punch.

Robo is bipedal with two claw-like feet and two arms, one serving as a three-fingered mandible and the other as a laser cannon or spring-loaded fist. Robo also has bluish green eyes. Vents serve as the creature's mouth and nostrils. | Robo is bipedal with two claw-like feet and two arms, one serving as a three-fingered mandible and the other as a laser cannon or spring-loaded fist.

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. Alongside Crono, Robo assists in shutting down the power in [[Derelict Factory]], which controls the power of the nearby domes, and thus permits access to a [[Gate]] back to the [[Present]]. Within the Factory, Robo shares a not-so-warm reunion with the [[R-Series]], his former comrades and mechanical brothers. Their combined effort damages Robo severely, but Crono and his friends succeed in preventing the R-Series Robots from causing permanent damage.[[File:Robo_FMV.png|thumb|left|Robo as the party found him in the FMV of the [[PlayStation]] release.]] | 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]].

Entering the Gate with his companions, he accidentally ends up at the [[End of Time]] where [[Gaspar]] explains only three beings can travel through a Gate simultaneously to avoid ending up there. | Entering the Gate with his companions, he accidentally ends up at the [[End of Time]] where [[Gaspar]] explains only three beings can travel through a Gate simultaneously to avoid ending up there. | ||

*Mary Shelley's [[Wikipedia:Frankenstein|''Frankenstien'']] is subtitled "The Modern Prometheus".

*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]]. | *In the Japanese version, Robo has a unique speech; he speaks with bits of katakana in his sayings and has trouble with pronunciations.
