ASTAR (robot character)

ASTAR was a robot from the Planet Danger. Because he was a robot, he could reattach severed limbs, and sought to remind others that they could not do so.
== Biography ==
=== Parkour ===
ASTAR climbed a building, avoiding sparking live wires as he went.
Inside, he leaped to and fro, almost falling to his doom at one point, all while dodging buzzsaws. 
However, while dodging one buzzsaw, he leaned back into another one approaching from behind, and his arm was severed.
Fortunately, because of his robotic constitution, he could easily reconnect his arm. He made sure to warn those who had been watching him that they could not do so. (PSA:ASTAR)
=== Evading the space fighters ===
ASTAR plunged into the opening of an underground complex, narrowly passing through various energy fields on the flight down.
After landing, he narrowly avoided a massive industrial press and a buzzsaw that cut through the wall to get to him.
He scaled a wall to avoid these dangers, but was caught by surprise by three buzzsaws, one of which amputated his arm.
Having made his way outside, he reattached his arm, and told onlookers who he was and that they could not do what he had just done, before flying off. (PSA:ASTAR FROM THE PLANET DANGER)
