My Top 8 least favourite Robotboy characters

While Robotboy had its fair share of great characters, it also had some not-so-great characters. Which is why I'm counting down my Top 8 least favourite Robotboy characters.

So, get ready to deactivate me. Here are my Top 8 least favourite Robotboy characters.

Dishonourable mentions:

Mr. Yaschinshki
Nothing to say about him except just a plot device to move villain plots.

Kurt
He's a very mean character, a complete bully, but I guess I can't be too harsh because he's similar to me in one way. We don't like the heat, and we both have a phobia to ants.

General YakitoriNothing to say except just a forgettable villain IMHO. Stopped being a villain when he went with Tommy's grandma.

8. Princess Justine.

All she does is call American toys "boring", yet has a thing for Robotboy. She might remind some of Darla from Finding Nemo, being a spoilt princess and wanting to destroy what she calls boring. Though I guess I can't be too harsh on her since her design looks like that of Bowser's fiancee, Princess Peach. (and they're calling Princess Daisy and Rosalina "Peach clones")

7. Augustus Bachmann "Goose" Turner.

Yeah, he's a poor excuse of a protagonist. He's always eating, even if the food is unhygienic, he farts all the time, his voice is reminiscent of that of Eric from South Park, and he likes to ruin things. Although he does have funny moments too, and he's why Hexx is my favourite bad guy. Also, when it comes to his Intelligence Quotient, he makes Numbuh 4 look like Christopher Langan. Gus' behaviour is the very reason I created my own OC Perry Register to replace him, that and I wanted to make an Australian character for a little racial balance. 

6. Special Agent/Kurt's father.

This cheating special agent almost ruins some things, like in Football Frenzy, attacking the referee whenever someone on his football team does a penalty. And in Wrestling with Gus, he tried stealing Robotboy, but is defeated later. The only positive aspects of him are his moment in The Manchurian Robot and in Science Fear where he has what I have, a phobia to ants. 

5. Donnie and Dwight Turnbull.

These 2 characters are the dimwits of the Turnbull family. Donnie, similar to Terrence from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, often beats Tommy up, and always relies on muscle, and Dwight doesn't even give a crap about what Tommy does to Donnie. And how can "playing with toys" not be man-like? Dwight, seems dumber than Homer Simpson, but smarter than Peter Griffin.

4. Von Der Schnitzel.

What he did in his sole role was uncalled for, kidnapping Lola like that! I'm glad this baddie was a one-time character. Though I would've liked him if he went for Gus, though it was funny when he shot the arms of his chopper. But Von, just a ruining villain.

3. Hester and Jebediah Turner.

There's nothing I have to say about them except they're ugly and seem very old to be Goose's parents. All they engage in is for their son to do their chores like milking their cow. 

2. Bambi.

Good gravy I hate this cheerleader! She's a spoilt, nasty, ignorant, uncaring, dimwitted brat. I just don't understand what Tommy sees in her. She's almost never nice to him. Though the only time I did enjoy her was in Robogus and the G-Machine where she reacted to Gus with the persona of Robotboy. And I wouldn't have disliked her had the original script for Cleaning Day been used. 

Also, she and Justine encouraged me to make an OC named Krystal Walker, who is blonde, but a nice character. 

And my Numbuh 1 least favourite Robotboy character is.....

I was going to make Bambi Numbuh 1, but no. There is one character who is at among the highest levels of being unlikable, one character who is too tragic and selfish to be considered a character, one character I hoped would stay locked up, but just wouldn't stay locked up. And that character is.....

1. Principal Culpepper.

That's right! The Robotboy character I hate the most! She's contemptible, she's vile, she's nasty, she's too strict for her own good, she's selfish, she's ugly, and she's a bitch. Sure Bambi's a bitch, but at least she's caring to an extent. But Culpepper? She's never nice to any of her students. Though I can blame her parents for not letting her play with toys. This character makes me vomit, and I want her locked up in jail for life.

If you have any thoughts you'd like to share on any of my choices, feel free to do so. 

My Top 11 favourite Robotboy characters

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time ever since I'd finished reviewing Robotboy. Why? Because this series had a good share of great characters. Which is why today, I'm going to count down my Top 11 favourite characters from Robotboy. Why Top 11? Because I'm a rip off of the Nostalgia Critic. No, not really. There was one character I decided to add, so this is now a Top 11 list.

So, get ready to superactivate me! Here are my Top 11 favourite Robotboy characters.


Honourable mentions:

Tommy Turnbull.
What can you say about him? He's the main human character. He's always willing to help Robotboy and protect him from evil. Though there are times where he gets too attached to his Robot toy. Also, his design reminds me of that of Mac from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. 

Protoboy.
Robotboy's older brother sure had an interesting backstory. But he keeps coming back even though he was killed in Brother. 

Debbie Turnbull.
The only member of Tommy's family who is caring for Tommy, but sometimes jumps to conclusions whenever Tommy is to blame. Of course in Traffic Slam, she acts like everyone's favourite cookie loving Muppet.

C.H.O.P.
Awesome to see an anthropomorphised vehicle in the series. He had awesome action in his sole episode.

Walter the Tapeworm. 
His relationship with Gus was a good one. Making that moronic goose get all skinny and eating his food.

Robotman.This epic McBain parody was a great one-timer. He was funny when he called Gus "Goose", but he quickly turned evil when Tommy tried to remove his batteries.

Now, onto the real list:

11. Brainy Yak.

This yak had a very emotional backstory, that story Hiro told in The Legend of Brainy Yak, about Akira Moshimo's youth, he was raising a young yak who is named Brian. The reason he's so low on the list is because he didn't get that much development.

10. Agent Suzie Kalaschnikov.

This babysitter was an epic and hot one. She's one who just wants to follow in Doctor Kamikazi's footsteps, capturing Robotboy, and planning to marry Kamikazi, just like Miu-Miu going to marry Akira Moshimo. 

9. Ambassador Kingsley Mbola.

Another caring parent. Ambassador Mbola is caring for his daughter, except for Feline Frenzy when Princess escaped. The reason I call him "Kingsley" is because in Racer 0, Donnie called him that. 

8. Professor Akira and Miu-Miu Moshimo.

There is just no way I could make this list without including Professor Moshimo and his ravishing fiancee Miu-Miu. Why am I calling him "Akira?" Because Jan confirmed Professor Moshimo's first name to be Akira. Miu-Miu, though silent all the time except for Grow-No-Mo, seems to be the female equivalent of Samurai Mac. Also, I love Akira's voice. He sounds just like Hiro from Thomas the Tank Engine. 

7. Doctor Kamikazi.

No way I could make this list without including the main villain of the series himself! Doctor Kamikazi, as I always say in my fan fictions, will stop at nothing to capture Robotboy for world domination. He's also a hilarious villain too, whenever he touches his pets, impaling him, or they would spit acid in his eyes and even going as far as the animals biting him, he screams in pain! And there were a few moments where he sides with the main characters, and there were rare moments where his evil plot wasn't needed like Robot Rebels. The saddest thing about Kamikazi is the fact that in 2010, his voice actor had passed on. 

6. Constantine.

Yep, I prefer this sumo over Kamikazi. Constantine, though the secondary bad guy, isn't always that much of a villain. There are a few occasions where he sides with Tommy and Robotboy. He's always willing to convince Kamikazi to do certain things, like keeping a certain animal as a pet, and he goes as far as to comfort him whenever a scheme of his fails. 

5. Felonious Hexx.

That's right. My most favourite bad guy in the series. Why is Hexx my favourite villain? Well, all thanks to Gus annoying him in his magic show, Hexx changed from Thelonious Hexx with a TH to Felonious Hexx with a F. He's always doing hilarious things to Gus, like transplanting Gus' brain with a pigeon, though it could've been a goose instead, giving him rude teeth and even being a parody of Missus Doubtfire, turning Gus into a zombie.

4. Robotboy.

No way this list could be complete without the title character. He's a cute, competitive and powerful robot. His superactivation is epic with an homage to the original Powerpuff Girls theme, and his grammar is poor, yet cute. 

3. Robotgirl.

This robot is even cuter than Robotboy himself. She's a friendly robot, she's even a very good friend to Lola. I wonder if she's with Lola now? 

2. Stevie.

This is one tragic swine. All because Doctor Kamikazi abandoned him, all due to him acting like a big baby, just by calling him "Dada". But fortunately, he and Kamikazi made up in the end. I wonder if Stevie is still with his dad?

And my Numbuh 1 favourite Robotboy character is.....

1. Lola Mbola.

It was hard to choose between her and Stevie. I went with this biracial girl. The reason I'm calling her biracial is because her skin colour is lighter than that of her dad's. She's cute, determined, and though wealthy, almost never acts like a spoilt brat. She has an enormous crush on Tommy Turnbull, but doesn't want him to find out. Also, she looks a lot like Ami from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.

Robotboy S4E13: The Return of Robotgirl & Momma's Boy + Season 4 overall + Series overall

Now's the time for me to wrap up my Robotboy reviews once and for all by reviewing the final episode! Did this series go out on a high note? Let's find out!

103. The Return of Robotgirl.

Written by: Robert Mittenthal and Michael Rubiner.

Aired: 27 September 2008.

At a night at Tommy's yard, he and his friends are having a sleepover with their tents. When the boys where making shadow puppets they suddenly get frightened by a little spider and runs away until they get inside Lola's tent. Gus prefer not to be inside since he find the tent of Lola's too girly and so do Tommy and Robotboy (though he could just be following Tommy). Suddenly something from the sky hits on top of a hill and the boys are going for it to take a look. They find a mechanical box, Tommy removes from where it landed, opens it up and inside they find a little pink robot which Robotboy explain that it is Robotgirl. They activate her and she show them a holographic message with Professor Moshimo and Tommy suspects that he is in trouble while seeing if Robotgirl can help them find him. Unfortunately she seems to misunderstand their asking due to her emotion chip got broken and punches Gus for no reason.
At Tommy's bedroom the boys are trying to fix her as much as possible, until Gus makes Robotgirl to cry for his own help. When Robotboy comforts Robotgirl he makes fun of Gus and Gus becomes mad and they start arguing to each other. Suddenly Lola appears and comforts Robotgirl by herself and takes with her to her tent. Tommy reminds Lola to ask Robotgirl to find out about Moshimo.
After Lola has comforted Robotgirl, the gang starts to search after Moshimo and arrives at an abandoned Titanium-Factory. They start looking until they find Moshimo inside a tube where he is hold as a hostage from Protoboy. Protoboy demand both to Robotboy and Robotgirl to enter the molds so they will get frozen inside a titanium liquid until it melts so Protoboy can be the only robot for Moshimo and he'll let him go. Robotgirl approaches to one of the molds but Robotboy stops her and he gets caught inside one instead. Robotgirl seems to do the same but lately changes her mind when she feel that Protoboy is lying and starts fighting with him.
At the same moment the kids try to figure out an idea to be able to free Moshimo and Robotboy from being dipped. Protoboy defeats Robotgirl and almost kicked her inside the burning liquid when Lola interrupts him by telling that abother robot will beat him up. While Protoboy prepares to fight to the other robot Lola frees Moshimo and Robotboy when Protoboy finds out that the other robot is a dud with Tommy and Gus and starts to preparing to shoot them and gets blasted by Robotboy. Robotboy blasts a second time to Protoboy and the liquid starts to destroy the bunker and the whole factory but Robotboy managed to save them all in the last second.


Ha! I knew Gus was a goose all along!

Lola's pretty tent!

Robotgirl is back!

Gus is skinny!

Robotgirl and Lola go good together.

Ha! Gus is wedgied!

Moshimo is trapped!

Protoboy's back.

You serious?

Well, this was a very good episode. We got the return of Robotgirl, and Gus made a shadow of himself! This sure was an epic climax in the factory, what with Robotboy saving Moshimo, Tommy, Robotgirl and Augustus, but if it weren't for the ending, it'd be perfect. Robotboy saves everyone, the factory collapses.......that's it! You kidding me? It's a great episode, but the ending was poor.

My rating: 9.5/10.

104. Momma's Boy.

Written by: Adam Cohen.

Aired: 27 September 2008.

When Kaziland is having a renovation Dr. Kamikazi and Constantine decide to live with Kamikazi's old mother who lives in Bay Area. Meanwhile Tommy and Gus try to get into different houses and ask them about cooking with insects.

Man does Kamikazi have a crab problem!

And here's the first appearance of Stevie's grandma, Mother Kamikazi.

Tommy with the cooking of insects book.

Here are the dogs, Ginger and Wasabi.

Now they're wiener constrictors!

 They're fighting over Robotboy!

Man is Mama hitting Kamikazi!

Well, this was a decent episode. All it focuses on is Stevie's grandma cooking, not paying attention to her son fighting Robotboy. The only laughs I got were Kamikazi getting treated like a mama's boy and the bad dogs, even if they were annoying. And Tommy's mum knows Mother Kamikazi? Oh well, Season 4 did end on an alright note.

My rating: 7/10.

Final thoughts:

This was an interesting episode too. We got to see the return of Robotgirl and we got to see Stevie's grandma hitting her son while Kaziland is under fumigation. It's an alright way to put Season 4 to rest.

Episode rating: 8/10.

Season 4 final thoughts:

Bottom line, Season 4 is the weakest season of Robotboy overall! Not bad or anything. It did have great episodes, but one was meh, and the rest were okay at worst. There was also a lack of Lola in episodes. What? Is she on holiday to see her mum elsewhere in the world? Oh well, I don't hate this season, but of the series as a whole, this is the least great.

Season 4 episodes from least favourite to favourite:

4.5/10.

26. Udder Madness.

5.5/10.

25. Everybody loves Grandma.

6/10.

24. Runaway Robot.

6.5/10.

23 Tween for a day.

7/10.

22. Ogbot.

21. Momma's Boy.

7.5/10.

20. Small Problems.

8/10.

19. Robomonkey Shines.

8.5/10.

18. Vitamin Sucker.

17. I, Hero!

9/10.

16. Knockoffs.

15. The Old Switcharobot.

14. Aunty Gravitee.

9.5/10.

13. Grow-No-Mo.

12. Rats!

11. The Return of Robotgirl.

10/10.

10. The Revenge of Protoboy.

9. Robolympics.

8. Donnie Turnbull's Day Off.

7. Bowling for Dummies.

6. The Curse of Truckenstein.

5. Bad Nanny.

4. Gus's Big Mouth

3. Robotboy's 15 Minutes.

2. Gus's Mix.

1. Cheezy Fun for Everyone.

Season 4 average score: 9.5/10.

Final score: 8.8/10.

 And that's the series overall! It would be nice to see Robotboy get a 5th season, but I doubt it will, and here are the reasons I doubt it.

1. Lewis Macleod (voice of Dwight, Special Agent, Bjorn and many others) is busy voicing Postman Pat.

2. As of 2012, Rupert Degas (voice of Gus, Constantine, Kurt, Hexx, Ambassador Mbola and many others) resides in Australia.

3. As of 2009, Togo Igawa (voice of Professor Moshimo) is now voicing Hiro in Thomas the Tank Engine.

And here's the real reason I doubt Robotboy will continue, and it's a sad one. In April 2010, Eiji Kusuhara (voice of Doctor Kamikazi) died of cancer. Rest in peace, Eiji. You will be sorely missed.

Now that that's out of the way, did Robotboy end on a high note? Sadly, it didn't. We got untold stories! Did Robotgirl end up with Lola? Did Lola confess her feelings toward Tommy? What became of all the villains? Did Lola's mum appear?

However, Season 4 was where I believe the show was on the edge of going through seasonal rot, so if this show doesn't continue, we can accept quality over quantity. Besides, we can always write our own fan fictions of Robotboy. I've written lots in 2012 when I joined Deviantart.

Alright! This was a brill series. I will never tire of Robotboy, and I will remember to say a true boy. A true Robotboy!

Let Tommy and Robotboy do something to end out for me!

That's it, Brobotboys! I hope you enjoyed reading my views on these! And I am going to deactivate these reviews........now! 









Robotboy S4E12: The Revenge of Protoboy & Everybody loves Grandma

Now I'm ready to review another Robotboy episode!

101. The Revenge of Protoboy.

Written by: Robert Mittenthal and Michael Rubiner.

Aired: 20 September 2008.

In the middle of the forenoon Donnie is tossing oranges at Gus until Gus plays possum which manages to trick Donnie thinking he's unconscious (or presumably dead) which leaves Donnie running away in fear and comes to a boat. Meanwhile back at Tommy's yard Gus wakes up and explains to Robotboy what possum means and suddenly a meteor arrives and it is positioned towards Tommy and Gus but Robotboy destroys it. They're wondering how the meteor could have been positioned to them just like that until Protoboy arrives and starts to fight towards Robotboy until he gets almost destroyed and just when he was going to finish him up he gets a phone-call and flies away and tells that he will return.
Later Tommy and Gus goes to a dessert where they need to find Moshimo's secret laboratory which they find and comes together with Moshimo to get down of the dessert where his lab is at. In the lab Moshimo, Miumiu and Tommy are fixing Robotboy while Gus watches the news where they tell that a cruise is in grave danger by Protoboy which leaves Tommy worried because his parents are on that cruise so he brings Robotboy with him to save them and the whole cruise.
At the cruise everyone is terrified by the disaster caused by Protoboy and Robotboy and his friends arrive to save them. While Robotboy and Protoboy faces each other Robotboy tries as much as he can to make his brother change his mind but Protoboy does not want to and threatens Robotboy to destroy both Tommy and the cruise. This makes Robotboy having no choice but to fight him and while they Superactivate, Robotboy gets unusually defeated quickly by Protoboy and Protoboy approaches to destroy the whole ship but suddenly Robotboy comes from nowhere leaving Protoboy surprised and Robotboy quickly reaches to his chest and removes his cables that powers him. A down-faced Robotboy looks at his brother coming to the sea and turns around to see his friend Tommy being unharmed and explained to him that he played possum like Gus taught him and they fly away.


Gus is dead!

Gus was playing dead!

Now Donnie is trapped!

 Protoboy on phone.



Moshimo's lab underground.

 

 Big boat!

Deb's new hairdo is nice.

This episode was pretty epic! We got to see Protoboy again, out there to destroy Robotboy! And who would've known that Moshimo's lab would be underground? And boy was Dwight oblivious to Tommy's presence! Funny how Donnie was in a barrel of dead fish on a fishing boat and believing Gus was dead, inspiring Robotboy to do the same thing. I did kind of feel sorry for Tommy when he thought Robotboy died. Yeah, this was an epic one.

My rating: 10/10.

102. Everybody loves Grandma.

Written by: Robert Mittenthal and Michael Rubiner.

Aired: 20 September 2008.

when Yakitori feels angry of not having a family to be with he decide to destroy every family on Earth to feel more better for himself. Meanwhile Grandma Turnbull comes to visit the Turnbull's to stay with them for a while only that she's in unaware that she's in danger when Yakitori's robots come to destroy her and the rest of the family.

Hmm....Yakitori sure is depressed.

Here we are, Dwight's mum, Grandma Turnbull.

Tommy thought Hester was Gus' grandma?

Yakitori's mechanics like to ruin everything.

At least Grandma Turnbull's right about Dwight being a baby sometimes.

This was quite an average episode. All Yakitori wanted was a family, but turned it all to destroy the Turnbulls. Sure, it did introduce Tommy's grandma, and sure she was strong for her age, but all Yakitori wanted to do was destroy the Turnbulls. I will admit, it was funny of Tommy to mistake Gus' mum for his grandma because she's so old. All in all, an average episode.

My rating: 5.5/10.

Final thoughts:

Still a decent episode to say the least. We got another great fight with Robotboy and Protoboy as well as Donnie being scared, and we got an average adventure with Grandma Turnbull. Oh well, I don't expect perfection all the time. Oh, but I'm not done with these reviews just yet! Just 1 to go!

Episode rating: 7.5/10.

Season 4 scorecard:

1. Gus' Big Mouth: 10/10.

2. Small Problems: 7.5/10.

3. Vitamin Sucker: 8.5/10.

4. Ogbot: 7/10.
