11	->'''Voiced by''':
12	-->'''Adult''': Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka (Japanese), Creator/KennMichael (English), Alberto Bernal (Latin American Spanish)\
13	'''Child''': Creator/BarryMitchell (English)
14	An immortal outlaw with a bounty on his head.
15	----
16	* AmbiguouslyBrown: We get a look at his parents and it’s hard to tell if Philly is black or not.
17	%%* AfroAsskicker
18	* AntiHero: Though (reluctantly) on the side of the heroes, Philly is a foul-mouthed criminal with no shortage of blood on his hands, and who's motivated by revenge.
19	* BigOlEyebrows: Has two rather bushy ones on his face, seriously it's like Go Nagai done them.
20	* {{Catchphrase}}: "I hate my life."
21	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: His family was killed by the robot soldiers of Botica when he was a child.]]
22	* DealWithTheDevil: Sold his soul to a sorcerer for his special brand of immortality so he could take revenge for his parents' death.
23	* DefrostingIceKing: He eventually starts warming up to Sam and Casey.
24	* {{Foil}}: Ironically, to Locke of all people. Both have a hatred for the Kingdom of Botica and the targeted the royal family. While Locke obsesses over his revenge, Philly finds that he ultimately didn't care about it.
25	* TheHedonist: Spends all his blood money on booze, women, and exotic guns.
26	* ImmortalImmaturity: He gets frequently called out for being immortal yet wasting the inability to die.
27	%%* ManlyTears:
28	* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Gets a numbered tattoos each time he resurrects.
29	* ThePigPen: Pretty much ''everybody'' comments on his horrible body odor, and Bessy's interior is a filthy mess when the robots aren't cleaning it up.
30	* ResurrectiveImmortality: Every time he dies, he heals and is brought back to life. He takes advantage of this by PlayingPossum after he resurrects to get the jump on who tried to kill him.
31	* {{Revenge}}: The reason he got his immortality, though he initially squandered it to live a debauched way. If his knowledge of Gara Keep is any indication, he at least attempted to do so at first.
32	* SmokingIsCool: A wanted outlaw who smokes regularly.
33	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: The show really likes putting Philly the Kid's immortality to the test, having him get maimed, shot, and poisoned in some pretty graphic ways.
34	* TryingNotToCry: When Casey starts crying after Bessie getting heavily damaged and hugs Philly's legs, he tries to not cry over Bessie, but ends up letting his tears run down anyway.
35	* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Comes to this conclusion during the season 1 finale; RevengeByProxy isn't as sweet when the proxy is in the exact same situation that led you to want vengeance.
36	-->'''Philly:''' Killing you won't give me peace or revenge. You're just some punk kid with dead parents, like me.
37	[[/folder]]
38
39	[[folder:Bessie]]
40	Philly's coin operated car.
41	----
42	* TheAllegedCar: Bessie is always breaking down due to how carelessly Philly drives and maintains her.
43	* CoolCar: She's a six-wheeled Cadillac larger than a tour bus. There's an open-air section that can comfortably seat a dozen people, an inner living area that's even larger, and she can transform into a robot minotaur.
44	* InventionalWisdom: She has an arcade machine in her dashboard that controls several functions but needs quarters to operate. Starting her costs one quarter, and she needs four to activate Raging Bull Mode. If there is a coin jam, she stops operating properly until it is dislodged. Some how no one questions why she was made to operate like that.
45	* TransformingMecha: Can change from a pink car to a red mechanical [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent minotaur]].
46	* VideoArcade: Kinda, in the sense that the way to activate Bessie is by inserting coins.

49	[[folder:Samberry (comic)/Sam (anime)]]
50	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_cannon_busters.png]]
51
52	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HinakiYano (Japanese), Creator/KamaliMinter (English), Monserrat Aguilar (Latin American Spanish)
53	A robot who wishes to reunite with her best friend the prince of Botica, Toji/Kelby. Her defining trait is her overwhelming desire to make friends with anyone, be they enemies, psychopaths, killer robots, cannibal hillbillies, drunk assassins, giant crabs, or strippers. But behind that happy face, she is the titular Cannon Buster, an overpowered bodyguard who can transform into various killing machines with one purpose: use sufficient force to completely obliterate any moron attempting to murder someone on her Friend List.
54	----
55	* AdaptationNameChange: From Samberry in the original comic to Sam in the anime, some FunWithAcronyms on her designation, "'''S'''pecial '''A'''ssociate '''M'''odel".
56	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's unfailingly pleasant and kind to ''everyone'' she meets, but will immediately break out into one of her Cannon Buster forms whenever she sees or hears her friends in danger, and completely obliterate the threat.
57	* CloudCuckoolander: Between her overly trusting nature and her imperfect understanding of humans (she's fascinated when she discovers that humans actually need to eat food to survive) and the sheltered life she led before the start of the story. When [[spoiler: Prince Kelby gets kidnapped]] at the end of Season 1, her only response is to be happy that now she and her friends get to go on another adventure to find him.
58	* ConditionalPowers: It seems she can only go into Cannon Buster mode when she can visually and/or audibly assess that one of her registered friends is in mortal danger, and whether or not her Cannon Buster mode is needed to save the friend.
59	* FlamingHair: Gets this when her Cannon Buster programming activates, usually red in color but turns blue [[spoiler:when she becomes a war golem]].
60	* JekyllAndHyde: Sweet, eternally optimistic Samberry has no idea that she turns into a deadly Cannon Buster.
61	* LivingWeapon: One of her forms is a sentient sniper rifle that shoots plasma beams.
62	* {{Magitek}}: She's actually a Cannon Buster, [[spoiler: a type of war golem, powered by magic with a soul]].
63	* OneWingedAngel: Threaten one of her friends, and she turns into a battle-robot of incredible power that will annihilate you with a WaveMotionGun.
64	* ThePollyanna: Partially due to living a sheltered life, partially due to the fact that she has no recollection of her brutal carnage whenever she enters Cannon-Buster mode.
65	* RedEyesTakeWarning: When Sam's eyes turn red, it's the only warning you'll get that you're about to be killed via her Cannon Buster programs.
66	* ReplacementGoldfish: Going by the flashes of King Bulgher's memories, it is implied that her human appearance is in the likeness of Prince Kelby's mother.
67	* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: One would be forgiven if you couldn't tell she ''is'' a robot at first glance.
68	* RobotGirl: Though most of the time the robot part is only obvious when her eyes change color. When she sees something interesting, her irises change to two distinct colors in a gear-like pattern. People in-universe have no apparent trouble telling she's a robot, though.
69	* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: In Cannon Buster mode, her transformations and powers vary depending on the foe, from slight changes (turning her mouth into an energy cannon to counter an ArmCannon) to huge ones [[spoiler:such as turning into a humongous magitek golem to face a same size transforming mecha]].
70	* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid: Was supposedly made to be a friendship robot for Prince Toji/Kelby, but is secretly a Cannon Buster [[spoiler:AKA a war golem]] obviously meant to obliterate anyone trying to kill him.
71	* TechnicolorEyes: Purple with green gear shapes around her pupils. See above for when they turn [[RedEyesTakeWarning red.]]
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Casey Turnbuckle]]
75	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/casey_profile.PNG]]
76
77	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShioriIzawa (Japanese), Creator/StephanieSheh (English), Susana Moreno (Latin American Spanish)
78	An abandoned mechanic robot. Tiny, peppy, and eager to fix anything she can get her plastic hands on. She decided to join Sam on her epic quest of friendship.
79	----
80	* CuteMachines: Casey and other robots of the same model look almost like small human children, but she stands out with her peppiness.
81	* ExistentialHorror: Suffers a rather brutal one in episode eight, when a robot of her model convinces her that they are little more than appliances to be discarded. She nearly lets herself be crushed in a compactor to be made into spare parts.
82	* WrenchWench: Really loves fixing/upgrading things. This gets her in trouble in episode eight, where she was upgrading Bessie while the car was driving (nearly causing them to collide with a truck).
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:9ine]]
86	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YosukeAkimoto (Japanese), Creator/GregChun (English), Creator/CarlosSegundo (Latin American Spanish)
87	Former Red Ronin operative.
88	----
89	* AdvertisedExtra: Is promoted as one of the 4 main characters of the series, but is only apart of the group for 2 episodes before leaving and returning in the season finale for his BigDamnHeroes moment.
90	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His skin is a pale reddish hue, though this (along with his [[YoungerThanTheyLook deceptively advanced age]]) was not the case in the flashback to his days with the Red Ronin.
91	* BigDamnHeroes: He inexplicably shows up in the second-to-last episode of Season 1 just in time to help the rest of the heroes fight the Red Horizon Foundation.
92	* BoozeBasedBuff: He claims at one point that the more he drinks the stronger he gets.
93	* ImplausibleFencingPowers: He's got the normal list for an anime samurai- ParryingBullets, [[CleanCut slicing through a robot with a single blow]], making [[BladeSpam hundreds of slashes a second]]...
94	* LetsGetDangerous: Normally he looks (and smells) like a drunken idiot but the moment a fight starts he reveals that he's an incredibly proficient warrior.
95	* RetiredBadass: 9ine is a former assassin of the Red Ronin. He spends his days drinking beer and fighting his former comrades.
96	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Apparently, the balding MiniatureSeniorCitizen is 30 years old.
97	* XtremeKoolLetterz: His name is pronounced "Nine".
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	!Botica
101	One of the five kingdoms of Gearbolt.
102	[[folder:Prince Toji (comic)/Kelby (anime)]]
103	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JunjiMajima (Japanese), Creator/ZenoRobinson (English)
104	The prince of Botica.
105	----
106	* AdaptationNameChange: Is named Toji in the comic but Kelby in the anime.
107	* BreakTheCutie: The Season One finale is not kind to Kelby. Learning that his father is dead turns Kelby into a screaming wreck, and he snaps at Sam, calling her a child's toy, when Hilda [[TakingTheBullet Takes The Bullet]] for him.
108	* RoyalBrat: Prince Kelby is a classic case of a prince who's discontent with royal life just because he has no idea what the real world is like. He doesn't even seem to grasp that there is a murderous magician army after him, and in episode 4, he insisted on resting at a castle that has clearly been overtaken before Odin talked him out of it. Luckily, as Odin predicted, he gains character development on his first real adventure.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Odin]]
112	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TakayaKuroda (Japanese), Darien Sills-Evans (English)
113	Head of the guards.
114	----
115	* HeroicBuild: Seriously, with his character design, he could passed off as Hirohiko Araki early work.
116	* HonorBeforeReason: Wanted to stay by the king's side to fight against Locke instead of looking for the prince. Luckily, the king was able to convince him to help the prince.
117	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Puts up with the prince's more brattish behavior and helps the prince learn a little self-reliance.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:King Bulgher]]
121	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KatsuhisaHouki (Japanese), Creator/JohnEricBentley (English)
122	The king of Botica.
123	----
124	* CallingTheOldManOut: Suffers a rather brutal one when his illegitimate heir came home (along with his army).
125	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Is tortured for days on end then violently strangled to death.
126	* TheGoodKing: Deconstructed; In order to become a mighty king of a prospering kingdom, Bulgher had to send armies to force neighbouring countries into submission. Botica may love him, but he has many enemies.
127	* {{Hypocrite}}: He outlawed magic, but [[spoiler:still commissioned a {{Magitek}} war golem for his son's friend robot.]]
128	[[/folder]]
129

134	----
135	* ArmCannon: His {{power pincer\|s}} right arm can turn into one.
136	* HiddenDepths: He was the first character in the show to identify onscreen that Sam was a Cannon Buster.
137	* LargeAndInCharge: He is both the fattest and tallest member of the group.
138	* WeirdBeard: It's style to look like a scorpion.
139

142

150
151	!!Fredo
152	->'''Voiced by''': Shinnosuke Oogami (Japanese), Alex Mendoza (English)
153	----
154	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Killed rather brutally via the leader of the Red Horizon foundation when one of her hand stabbed him in the back
155	[[/folder]]
156
157	[[folder:Lady Day]]
158	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MisaWatanabe (Japanese), Creator/DebraWilson (English)
159	----
160	* LightIsNotGood: Straight up lampshaded. Sam and Casey think someone with her name must surely be nice. [[AxeCrazy She isn't]].
161	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named after singer Music/BillieHoliday's {{epithet}}.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Jojo]]
165	->'''Voiced by''' Creator/TomoMuranaka (Japanese), Creator/MelissaHutchison (English)
166	A bounty hunter that was cursed to never leave his preteens.
167	----
168	* BerserkButton: Treating him like a child, e.g. calling him little or reminding him he can never have sex.
169	* BiggerIsBetterInBed: His reaction to when Philly suggests that he's CompensatingForSomething implies that, logically, even his genitals didn't mature and adds to his insecurity that he CantHaveSexEver.
170	* FingerFirearms: He has a revolver in place of thumb, index, and middle fingers.
171	* NonstandardCharacterDesign: When feigning innocence and concealing the contents of his RedRightHand, his clothes, {{face\|OfAnAngelMindOfADemon}} (with BlushSticker even), and speech pattern make him seem like he belongs to a ''Anime/WorldMasterpieceTheater'' production more instead of this WorldOfBadass.
172	* NotGrowingUpSucks: He's an old man with a fully adult mind cursed to be a prepubescent child forever, which means he has never been able to have relations with a woman.
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	!Locke Forces
176
177	[[folder:Locke]]
178	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (Japanese), Billy Bob Thompson (English)
179	The Emperor of Magic and the illegitimate heir to the throne of Botica
180	----
181	* BastardBastard: Fits the mold, given that much of his motivation is driven by the way King Bulgher discarded him and his mother in favor of his legitimate heir, Kelby.
182	* DealWithTheDevil: Made a deal with some sort of EldritchAbomination that gave him the power needed for revenge. In exchange, he has to give them his half-brother Kelby.
183	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Locke admits that it's his memory of his mother that keeps him strong enough to make sure the people who abandoned them suffer.
184	%%* {{Foil}}: Ironically, to Philly of all people.
185	* ParentalAbandonment: Both he and his mother were banished from Botica by his father. As you can imagine, he did not take it well.
186	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Delivers a truly merciless one against the king and the kingdom of Botica, rampaging through a festival and turning Botica's golem army against its citizens.
187	* VillainHasAPoint: A mass-murdering narcissist he may be, but he has legitimate grievances against his biological father, King Bulgher of Botica, for banishing him and his mother for political gain, preaching peace when he used overpowered golems to slaughter dissenters to his conquest [[spoiler:like Philly's family]], and for completely banning magic with huge cultural consequences ([[{{Hypocrite}} Especially when we learn that Samberry has enough plasma firepower to trump any wizard, negating the usual 'wizards are too dangerous' anti-magic rhetoric]]).
188	[[/folder]]
189
190	[[folder:Red Horizon Foundation]]
191	A group of female assassins who are loyal to Locke.
192	----
193	* AmazonBrigade: All of them are women and all of them are deadly.
194	* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Almost all of their members are cyborgs and they serve TheEmpire.

202	* FloatingLimbs: She has no arms and controls her mechanical hands remotely.
203	* GlorySeeker: Shows traits of this, particularly becoming angry when a group of blitzraiders were coming to aid her, refusing to share the glory with a bunch of machines.
204	* {{Sadist}}: She takes pleasure in toying with her opponents, even mocking the prince by revealing that his father is dead.
205
206	!!Bridge
207	->'''Voiced by''': Ayaka Shimizu (Japanese), Creator/MarinMiller (English)
208	----
209	* AcePilot: She was the one piloting their airship, both in flight mode and when it transformed into a robot, easily defeating Bessie in a fight.
210	* MeaningfulName: Appropriate for someone named "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_%28nautical%29 Bridge]]," she's a pilot.
211	* RocketPoweredWeapon: Her arms and legs have built-in thrusters to send her enemies flying.
212
213	!!Manic
214	->'''Voiced by''': Kausar Mohammed (English)
215	----
216	* EyeBeams: Can shoot a powerful laser beam out of the spot where her EyepatchOfPower is.
217	* {{Stripperiffic}}: She's the least dressed out of the four.
218
219	!!Coin
220	->'''Voiced by''': Angelique Perrin (English)
221	----
222	* {{Expy}}: Looks like [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Schwarz Bruder]] and is a TechnicolorNinja like, though not as much as, him but is a female and wears a red mask instead of the [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead German Bundesflagge]] on her face.
223	** Although, her outfit design might be more closely resembling to the appearance of [[VideoGame/RedEarth Kenji from Capcom's arcade fighting game Red Earth.]] Both have masks with two eye holes to see through, large shoulder armor with circular symbols in the center, wearing long scarfs, and both having v-fins on their masks, although, the center piece of Coin's v-fin is diamond shaped, while Kenji's center piece of his v-fin is circular shaped.
