'''Unit P''' is a series of [[Protocol Robots]]. The ones located in [[Outpost Pit Fall]] are designed to partake in simulated firefights against trainee soldiers to prepare them for combat. One of these robots was used by [[Ignacio Dominguez]] to investigate an incident on [[Outpost High Ground]], called '''Pink'''.
'''Robot''' was an android sent to repair the fax machine on [[Outpost Black Out]] before she short-circuited and attacked [[Mitchell Miller|Miller]].

Once there, the three encounter the bodies of [[Jack O'Brien]] and [[Linda Kelen]] as Louie realizes he was lied to about why he was sent to High Ground. Before anyone could react, Louie is shot in the head by an unknown attacker as Pink and Blue run to meet up with Yellow and Green.

Robot was an android sent to repair the fax machine on Outpost Black Out before she short-circuited and attacked Miller.

Role in Plot

Events of Season 1

In Machine, Robot arrives on Outpost Black Out to fix the fax machine. However, after Mitchell Miller refers to her as a "bucket of bolts," Robot malfunctioned and attacked him. After hitting Miller many times, Robot was attacked and deactivated by Nicole Vega. In Replacement, it's revealed that this robot was intentionally sent by Ignacio Dominguez knowing it was defective. She later appears in Invader, still deactivated, as Sarah Daws decides to use her helmet to replace June Vega's broken one.

After the guards' departure, an error-exclaiming Robot is discovered by Cocktail noting it to be hers and her brother's first lead in finding a target.

Trivia

  • She shares her voice and helmet with Pink.
  • Her design is largely based on June Vega's design in Classic Season 1 with the Mark V helmet, CQB chest plate, and Mark VI shoulder pads.
    • Sarah Daws and Nicole Vega would end up using Robot's helmet to replace June's defective Mark VI one, with a robotic skeletal face revealed underneath.
  • A robot character was always intended to be introduced during early plans for Classic Season 2, as well as the production of Annoyances when the series was almost rebooted.

  • To represent Robot's face underneath her helmet, EprothStudios suggested to Syp about using a modified helmet from The Master Chief Collection to represent it after Syp initially was going to photoshop an image from the 1984 film The Terminator.
