The Robotrek Hero is the protagonist of the eponymous game Robotrek.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Living in the small town of Rococo, the player-named hero aspires to become a great inventor like his father. He gets the chance to do exactly that when his old man sets out to find the truth behind the "Hackers" - a group of rowdies who use robots to perform vandalism, robberies, and all sorts of other nonsense in town. Building his own squad of up to three different robots, the hero goes on a quest to save his father and find out why the Hackers showed up to begin with.

If this sounds like something between a parody of over-used video game plots and/or an elaborate joke, consider that the original Japanese title of the game is Slapstick. It's neither meant to be serious, nor does it take itself too seriously. Nonetheless, building your own robots, leveling them up, and outfitting them with all sorts of equipment has a decent amount of depth to it; to the point Robotrek is often considered a spiritual predecessor to Pokémon.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

The Robotrek Hero fought (or rather, sent in one of his robots to fight for him) in the Square Enix-themed 8chanmania XCIV. He wasn't too impressed with Luca's robot Gato and wondered why on Earth she had wasted precious CPU power on giving him a singing voice, but probably changed his opinion after Gato totalled his own robot.
