Lopez the Heavy

Lopez the Heavy (Lopez La Pesado in Spanish) is a main character in Red vs. Blue and is voiced by series creator Burnie Burns. He is a robot built by Sarge with a damaged speech unit that only allows him to speak in Spanish. He served as a supporting antagonist during Season 3 and 4, acting as O'Malley's assistant before returning to the Red Team by the end of Season 5. He was absent during all of Season 8 and had a cameo in 10 before coming back fully in Season 11.
==Biography==
Sarge's pet project and team mechanic, a robot who only speaks bad Spanish (and occasionally takes advantage of the fact he's the only one fluent in the language).
Lopez seems to view his teammates with cold resentment, either due to their reliance on him for mechanical help, constant damage to the team Warthog that Lopez ends up repairing, for programming him to speak Spanish instead of English, or all of the above.
As a result, Lopez spends the series hopping from team to team. Church possesses him in search of a body, then Lopez is mistaken for a Blue and attacked by his former owners, causing him to formally surrender to the Blues. Via a time loop, Church accidentally suggests that Lopez and Sheila form their own robot army, and Lopez defects away from humans altogether, but he is quickly captured and reprogrammed by O'Malley while the AI is possessing Doc. His head is blown off during the transition between Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, and he becomes the bitingly sarcastic sidekick to O'Malley until he is finally recovered by the Red Team at the end of The Blood Gulch Chronicles.
As of Reconstruction he's been rebuilt and is back at Red Base, and has deleted the memories of his departed teammates. By Relocated, he has recently rejoined the Red Team because he was bored (and because Sarge knew the command codes that would make him do it anyway), and assisted Sarge in developing an EMP-powered Gauss Gun and installing it on the Warthog. To this end, and for any future research, he created an underground holographic test facility, which Sarge uses mostly to kill Grif avatars over and over again.
At the end of Recreation, he was shot along with Donut by Washington, but survived through a battery backup. His body was briefly used as a scarecrow by Donut and Doc in Season 10. He returned to the Reds and Blues in Chorus with Doc and Donut in Season 11. He spends most of the season as a head, but eventually steals Dos.0's body. He was recruited into the Federal Army of Chorus along with Sarge, Donut and Wash when everyone gets separated at Crash Site Bravo. When the armies of Chorus unite, he starts working as their technician in Season 13.
