Mike's Robot Played by Unknown Appeared in 0602 - Invasion USA Location Satellite of Love Character

type Minor

Mike's Robot is a small, blue robot created by Mike Nelson which ultimately malfunctioned and had to be demolished.

History

It is unknown how or why Mike started building the robot in the first place, but presumably it was an effort to emulate his predecessor Joel Robinson by trying to do something Joel did well. What its intended function on the Satellite of Love was and what it was generally made from also remain a mystery.

Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo's opinion of the robot while Mike was building it were highly enthusiastic, with Crow even claiming it to be cute.

Once activated, the robot attempted to attack the SOL crew while chanting "Destruct, Destruct, Destruct" until Mike stopped it by pressing a screwdriver against its neck. The bots opinion of the robot then changed, with them spitting on it and hurling epithets such as "Dork!" and "Wiener!" at it.

As the crew got commercial sign, the robot started up again and began to once again raise havoc. The robot was finally crushed and battered by Mike and the bots, finally being deactivated once and for all in a cloud of green smoke. The Bots then told Mike that he cannot and should not make robots again.
