8	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robot_rw.png]]
9	The titular protagonist of the series. He is lonely and wants companionship, but most life forms in the galaxy are hostile. Still, he wants many things, and will go after them all, with nothing being able to stop him.
10	----
11	* AllLovingHero: While he will kill hostile life-forms in self-defense, he just wants friends and will be nice to any life-form, as long as their name isn't Tom Stone/[[spoiler:Kitty]] or Emperor Tronk.
12	* HeroesLoveDogs: He takes more of a liking to Puppy, who is a BigFriendlyDog, than the {{Jerkass}} Kitty.
13	* HeroicMime: He never talks once in the series.
14	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: His motive in the first three games is finding friends.
15	* KindheartedCatLover: He wants Kitty as a friend, and when he gets him, he takes Kitty with him on adventures. Though he begins to dislike Kitty for his {{Jerkass}} behavior.
16	* NeutralNoLonger: ''Justice'' sees him abandon his usual pursuits and take up a fight against Emperor Tronk's tyranny.
17	* RetiredBadass: After beating the ''Justice'' Remix map and defeating Emperor Tronk once and for all, freeing the Durpoids from his tyranny, Robot decides to retire from adventuring.

20	[[folder:Kitty (spoilers)]]
21	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kitty_rw.png]]
22	A kitty and the first friendly lifeform Robot finds. He does not get along with Robot's other friends. Eventually becomes the antagonist of ''Ice Cream'', disguising himself as Tom Stone and leading the invasion of Happy Ice Cream Planet after Robot spaced him for his actions.
23	----
24	* ADogNamedDog: He is a kitty named Kitty.
25	* BigBad: Of ''Ice Cream'', having taken over Happy Ice Cream Planet to get his revenge on Robot.
26	* CatsAreMean: So mean that not even [[AllLovingHero Robot]] could put up with him, apparently. He fights with Puppy, eats Fishy, and becomes the BigBad of ''Ice Cream'', going after Robot because he abandoned him for his bad behavior.
27	* DisproportionateRetribution: After Robot, as punishment for Kitty's bad behavior (fighting with Puppy and eating Fishy), abandons him in space, Kitty decides to amass a mechanical army and invade Happy Ice Cream Planet, destroying it and stealing all the ice cream (and presumably terrorizing the inhabitants), just to get back at Robot.
28	* HeroicCaninesVillainousFelines: He is a {{Jerkass}} who antagonizes Robot's friends, eventually eating Fishy, and when Robot spaces him as punishment, he returns as the BigBad of ''Justice'', while Puppy is a BigFriendlyDog and TheLancer to Robot who stays loyal to him and helps him however he can.
29	* {{Jerkass}}: He fights with Puppy and then eats Fishy after Robot spent all that time finding the two of them. In response to Robot's punishment for Kitty (being abandoned in space), he decides to gather an army and invade Happy Ice Cream Planet and steal the ice cream just to get back at Robot, not having learned his lesson at all.
30	* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: He is also Tom Stone, leader of the Mekazoid invasion- or rather, Tom is a mech piloted by him.
31	* WalkingSpoiler: Due to him becoming the BigBad in ''Ice Cream''.
32	[[/folder]]
33
34	[[folder:Puppy]]
35	The second friendly lifeform Robot encounters. He becomes a close ally to Robot, helping him in ''Ice Cream'' and ''Justice''.
36	----
37	* ADogNamedDog: He is a puppy named Puppy.
38	* BigFriendlyDog: He is about as big as Robot (if slightly shorter) and is the nicest character in the series aside from Robot himself.
39	* HeroicCaninesVillainousFelines: He is a BigFriendlyDog and TheLancer to Robot who stays loyal to him and helps him however he can, while Kitty is a {{Jerkass}} who antagonizes Robot's friends, eventually eating Fishy, and [[spoiler:when Robot spaces him as punishment, he returns as the BigBad of ''Justice'']].
40	* HeroicDog: He helps Robot save Happy Ice Cream Planet from Tom Stone/[[spoiler:Kitty]]'s invasion, and later helps Robot save the Durpoids from slavery by Emperor Tronk.
41	* TheLancer: To Robot as of ''Ice Cream'', where he can assist Robot using an armor suit. In ''Justice'' he collects the Durpoids that Robot rescues.
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Fishy (spoilers)]]
45	The third friendly lifeform Robot encounters. A goldfish trapped in a bowl in the mining facility. She is also the player character of ''Fishy Wants Robot'', an extra level in ''Robot Wants It All''.
46	----
47	* ADayInTheLimelight: She becomes the protagonist of ''Fishy Wants Robot'', a short game where she rescues Robot.
48	* ADogNamedDog: She is a fish named Fishy.
49	* KilledOffForReal: She is eaten by Kitty at the end of ''Fishy''.
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Emperor Tronk]]
53	The antagonist of ''Robot Wants Justice''. After the Durpoids' planet was destroyed, he promised them asylum in his own lava planet, but only so he could enslave and eat them.
54	----
55	* ArmsDealer: As [[CorruptCorporateExecutive CEO of Tronk Industries]], he sells killer robots as weapons of war.
56	* BigBad: Of ''Robot Wants Justice'', as the ruler of the lava planet who enslaved the Durpoids.
57	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He is also the founder and CEO of Tronk Industries, a company that makes killer robots and sells them as weapons of war.
58	* DualBoss: You fight him alongside 2-Pei, although downplayed since 2-Pei does the actual fighting while Tronk stands there with a force field.
59	* TheEmperor: He rules over a lava planet, although his empire is unnamed.
60	* FinalBoss: Downplayed; he is the final enemy Robot must kill, but he hides behind a force field while 2-Pei does the fighting.
61	* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the games prior to ''Justice'', as some of the minor enemies Robot fights across multiple games are partially his doing.
62	* NonActionBigBad: He doesn't even bother to fight Robot, instead letting 2-Pei do the fighting for him.
63	* SmugSnake: He fancies himself a fearsome Emperor who can do whatever he wants. In truth, his bio states that he is so incompetent that he will tend to screw up his evil acts. He is also dumb enough to think that he can build a wall of turrets around his planet, apparently not realizing planets are round, and his advisors are still trying to explain this.
64	* {{Trumplica}}: He is an orange slime monster with bright yellow hair that, in Tronk's case, is a toupee. The "View Game History" section in ''It All'' says this was not meant as political commentary or parody, but rather as a comparison.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:2-Pei]]
68	Tronk's living toupee and right-hand pet. He pilots the machines that Robot fights in ''Robot Wants Justice''.
69	----
70	* DualBoss: In the FinalBoss fight, he fights you alongside Emperor Tronk, although downplayed since he does the fighting while Tronk hides behind a force-field.
71	* TheDragon: He serves Emperor Tronk and leads his army in opposing Robot.
72	* {{Expy}}: Plays a similar role to [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik]], piloting the mechs that serve as the main bosses of the game.
73	* FinalBoss: Though he's technically a DualBoss with Emperor Tronk, Tronk does nothing and just acts as a "phase bar" for 2-Pei.
74	* TheHeavy: Tronk is the BigBad enslaving the Durpoids, but 2-Pei leads his army and is the one fighting you in most of the boss battles with his mechs, and is the actual FinalBoss while Tronk is a NonActionBigBad who hides behind a force-field.
75	* TheManBehindTheMan: It's pretty obvious he's the ''real'' power behind Tronk's empire, and likely just using him as a puppet.
76	* {{Pride}}: He is mentioned as being self-centered, to the point of renaming the Planetary Eradicator (his favorite spaceship) 4-Pei. This is in addition to 50-Pei (his cloning machine), Star-Pei (his second favorite spaceship), and Tor-Pei (a giant turret).
77	* RecurringBoss: Every boss in ''Justice'' except the Horror Beyond Comprehension (which is a [[ZeroEffortBoss joke boss]]) is either him piloting one of his machines or the DualBoss with him and Tronk.

110
111	[[folder:Morgox the Unborn]]
112	A menacing alien overlord that has taken over most of the galaxy. He actually plays no role in the plot, as the game takes place in another galaxy far away.
113	----
114	* EldritchAbomination: He apparently has literal iron tentacles, and is powerful enough to have taken over a galaxy.
115	* FetusTerrible: Given that his name is Morgox the ''Unborn'', we can assume he is this.

117	* VillainOfAnotherStory: He is an EldritchAbomination and GalacticConqueror who rules over a galaxy and is described at length in the opening crawl, but as this is a FakeOutOpening, we never get to see him.

159	* TheDitz: Its bio states that it likes to ask "idiotic" questions to its prey, not realizing having a fish in its mouth would prevent the questions from being heard properly, then eat the fish for not answering.

165	* BigBadEnsemble: As one of six bosses in the game standing in Robot's way to acquire Fishy.
166	* BrokenArmorBossBattle: It is covered in armor, and the only way to defeat it is to get a powerup to blow up certain walls and throw that on the weak spot on top of it's head, eventfully destroying the armor and rendering it weak to your attacks.

174	An AI residing in the Processing Station.
175	----
176	* AIIsACrapshoot: According to the file entry, it was once a Felgax warship AI that turned on its crew members, shutting off the oxygen, because one of them had a book with a fire on into and it thought the fire was real. A miner found it and turned it into a garbage collector, and it tries to kill Robot because it thinks Robot is garbage.
177	* BigBadEnsemble: As one of six bosses in the game standing in Robot's way to acquire Fishy.
178	* {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL-9000]], from the similar name, to the design with a giant red eye, and the backstory involving turning on and killing its crew members through oxygen deprivation.

198
199	[[folder:Safetybot]]
200	The first boss of the game. A robot head on tank tracks.
201	----
202	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. The bio states that it has the same name as Robot's Safetybot chasis, and the creators of both submitted it to the Galactic Trademark database in the same pictosecond. The Trademark AI somehow let both trademark the name (since they submitted it at the same time), and the courts upheld it.
203	* WarmupBoss: The first boss in the original, Easy, and Remix levels.
204	[[/folder]]
205

218	* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Unlike the other bosses, the bio states that he just popped up, and nobody know who or what he is.
219	* LoneWolfBoss: According to the bio, he just showed up out of nowhere, meaning he is likely unaffiliated with Tom Stone.
220	[[/folder]]
221
222	[[folder:Destructo]]
223	A battle tank built for the Solarium Wars.
224	----

241	[[/folder]]
242
243	[[folder:Nanoswarm]]
244	A giant, blue, bouncing entity made up of smaller Nanoswarms.
245	----
246	* AsteroidsMonster: To ludicrous degrees, where the Nanoswarm's bio questions if the universe itself is simply made up of quark-sized Nanoswarms. Robot doesn't even defeat the Nanoswarm so much as reduce it to imperceptible versions of itself.
247	[[/folder]]
248
249	[[folder:Uberboxen]]
250	A sibling of Das Boxen hired to kill Robot.
251	----
252	* TurnsRed: He has four health bars, and once each one is depleted, he goes a little faster and shoots more projectiles.

254	[[/folder]]
255
256	!!Introduced in ''It All/Justice''
257
258	[[folder:Coney J. Wafell]]
259	A denizen and merchant of Happy Ice Cream Planet who will give Robot jump upgrades... for 50 sprinkles each.
260	----
261	* {{Greed}}: Wants your sprinkles, and if you don't give them any, will be rude to Robot.
262	* PungeonMaster: Almost all his lines incorporate an ice cream pun.
263	[[/folder]]
264
265	[[folder:Blastron]]
266	Three security robots staffing and guarding the mines.
267	----
268	* DamnedByFaintPraise: In its bio, it is considered the most advanced security system for deep mining- primary because the other options were even worse.
269	[[/folder]]
270
271	[[folder:Horror Beyond Comprehension]]
272	A purple blob thing with one eye that can be easily defeated, despite the name.
273	----
274	* BossArenaIdiocy: It fights you next to a lava pit, and all you need to do is knock it inside said pit.
275	* EldritchAbomination: PlayedForLaughs with the Horror Beyond Comprehension, which is just a screaming purple monster with one eye. It also looks quite cute when being knocked backwards, which doesn't help its case.
276	* IronicName: It's not horrific or incomprehensible, it's a pathetic ZeroEffortBoss.
277	* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: {{Subverted\|Trope}} with the Horror Beyond Comprehension, which is fully visible and frankly not that hard to comprehend (a purple blob with one eye and a mouth who roars constantly).
278	* ZeroEffortBoss: Its only attack is roaring at you, which slightly pushes you back, and running into its open mouth, which is easy to avoid as it just stands there. Punching it in either direction will instantly propel it into [[BossArenaIdiocy the conveniently placed lava pit right behind it]].
279	[[/folder]]
280
281	[[folder:Felgax Horde/Felgaxia]]
282	A nation described by the data entries. It once ruled over the galaxy where ''Kitty'', ''Puppy'', and ''Fishy'' take place, but was defeated in the Solarium Wars.
283	----
284	* TheGhost: They are only described by the data entries, and are gone by the main story.
285	* GreaterScopeVillain: They are long gone by the actual games, but were responsible for creating many of the enemies and bosses that Robot faces in the first three games, or were in some way connected to them.
286	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Felgax Horde, in the Solarium Wars, attempted to use the Zarp species to serve as disposable frontline troops. The Zarps rebelled instead and caused the downfall of Felgaxia.
287	* TheHorde: As the name suggests, though the fact that they were involved in technology and experimentation contrasts with the usual barbarian image.
288	[[/folder]]
289
290	[[folder:The Imperiax]]
291	A nation that created the Cyberkrobbs.
292	----
293	* TheEmpire: As their name suggests. They may be the empire that Emperor Tronk rules, but there is no confirmation of this.
294	* TheGhost: Assuming that they are not Tronk's empire, we only read about them in the Cyberkrobb data entry.
295	* GreaterScopeVillain: They created the cyberkrobbs and may have been involved in TheGreatOffscreenWar against the Felgax Horde, but never show up in the series.
