GT Robo

The Gourmet Telexistence Robot (GTロボ(ジーティーロボ), Jītī Robo, a.k.a GT Robo) is a type of robot intended to be used to investigate areas that are normally inaccessible to normal humans. It can supply gourmet ingredients without the user having to step into dangerous soil.
The robot used mainly by the Bishokukai is based on a creature known as the Nitro, which Toriko and Komatsu encountered on Vegetable Sky after they ate the Ozone Herb. The reason for the GT Robo having a similar appearance to the Nitro is because to discover the ingredient "GOD", which Midora desires knowledge of and enlists the help of the Blue Nitro to control all of the world's ingredients.
==Description==
The operator can control the movements of the robot from far away and the robot transmits back the senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and sometimes taste.
It can perform the exact same movements in real time. The level of measurement error of the newest GT Robo used by the Bishokukai is less than a millisecond, though individuals with incredible speed like Starjun say that it is still too slow. 
The New Model is the first kind of GT Robo seen and also the one mainly used by the Bishokukai. The other kinds of robots seen also seem to be based on this one; the most difficult to control are the Giant type and Micro type. The original models of GT Robos are not used by the Bishokukai and are designed with a more humanoid appearance, with some resembling humanoid robots while others are perfect replicas of the humans they are used by. Original models are used mainly by civilians, wealthy individuals and the Allied Forces.
The New Model's body is made of a titanium alloy with carbon fiber, which even Mansam could only slightly damage with his Frypunch. The joints are made of Super High Polymer Special Polyethylene with reinforced aramid fiber body hair covering it. The movements of the robot are relayed by its Core Antenna, made of gold for optimal conductivity.
==Weapons and Techniques==
* Knocking (ノッキング, Nokkingu): It is able to perform knocking with needles that grows from its fingers.
* Peeler Shot (ピーラーショット, Pīrā Shotto): It shoots out the hair attached to its body to cut out or shave the skin and flesh of its opponent.
* Food Technique - Human Grater (食義:人間卸, Shokugi: Ningen Oroshi): The GT Robo shoots out multiple Peeler Shots. This move was first used by Bei in the Gourmet Coliseum.
*Sense of Pressure Excess (圧覚超過, Akkaku Chōka): A defensive part of the GT Robo, which prevents any form of pain to be transmitted to the operator, thus preventing any fatal injuries from being in a fight with a opponent.
*Laser: There is a laser gun inside its head capable of penetrating even the Battle Wolf's flesh. The color of the beam matches with the external fur's color of the machine.
*Cooking Fire (調理ファイア, Chōri Faia): A flamethrower is installed in the palms. Seen on the Giant type.
*Mixer Punch (ミキサーパンチ, Mikisā Panchi): A melee attack that was first used in Starjun's first fight against Toriko inside the Regal Mammoth, when the sous chef was operating a GT Robo. The GT Robo punches with his forearm while spinning it to increase the penetration power and damage. The attack had enough power to draw significant blood and momentarily stun Toriko, while in a compartment next to the Jewel Meat.
* Mimicry: A new function in the GT robots.
* Camouflage: The new model has the ability to merge with the environment and disappear from the sight.
* Telexistence Mode Boost: A prototype function that pushes the GT Robo's power to its limits, which makes its "eyes" glow red when used.
* Separate: It makes the GT Robo lose a limb by self destruction for distraction. Yuu used it in conjunction with Camouflage to escape from Toriko.
==History==
===Puffer Whale Arc===
GT Robos are first introduced in the Puffer Whale arc when Toriko, Komatsu and Coco, after finishing eating the one Puffer Whale they were able to successfully extract the poison from, are surprised to see a black GT Robo with an intense aura of killing intent come out of the water in the Cave Beach from the ocean's side. Its sheer killing intent was great enough to mobilise Coco and Toriko into summoning all their strength in self defence. The GT Robo however, simply ignored them and passed on by.
===Gourmet Coliseum Arc===

The battle wolf uses its last moments to groom its offspring, causing Bei to laugh at the scene. Bei's laughter annoys Toriko, who then manipulates him to open up the GT Robo's laser compartment and damages it significantly with the 5-Hit Ice Pick Kugi Punch. Toriko manga and anime-Gourmet Coliseum arc. It threatens to self-destruct, but is instead destroyed by the Colosseum's lasers.

The former's metallic framework is easily able to resist the majority of Coco's organic poisons, while the latter makes use of a beast within the Regal Mammoth to distract Sunny and prevent him from using his hairs to optimal ability. The Giant Robo is eventually destroyed with Coco’s Aqua Regia attack, meant to destroy its gold core, while Sedoru’s GT Robo is immobilized by Sunny’s hairs, tangling its inner workings. It is discovered that the pilot of the black GT Robo was Starjun, who confronts Toriko and Rin, effortlessly defeating both and accidentally blowing Toriko directly to the Jewel Meat. As Starjun attempts to take Komatsu’s knife, he is confronted by Toriko, who persuades him to raise the “sense pressure of excess” of the GT Robo to 100% so he can experience the fear of death, which Stajun obliged. Subsequently, Starjun's GT Robo is defeated by Toriko's 10-Hit Kugi Punch, shattering even the insides of the GT Robo.
