RoboKing

RoboKing is a robot made in Katamari Forever by The Prince and all of the Cousins as a replacement for the King, who had struck his head on a passing comet, lost his memory and entered a deep slumber. Unfortunately, upon activation RoboKing goes on a rampage and destroys every star in the sky, setting in motion the events of Katamari Forever. Unlike the King of All Cosmos, RoboKing feels sorry for destroying the stars, even though he doesn't help The Prince with the task of rolling Katamaris. He is shown to be more sincere and less strict than the King, and seems to be prone to bouts of depression and anxiety, usually caused by the task of remaking all the stars in the sky. When ignoring RoboKing he is often saddened, unlike the King, who acts stuck up and aloof, and is often ignorant to others.
After the King woke up from his extended slumber, RoboKing goes on a rampage again after realizing that he is now useless. When the King finds out that he has a replica, he gets very upset and orders the Prince to dismantle RoboKing's core. This is accomplished (of course), by rolling a Katamari around the restrained RoboKing until large enough to roll up the core that The Prince made earlier. However, when the game is finished and the Katamari Drive mode has been unlocked, RoboKing has been reassembled, and is being threatened by the King to make more stars. RoboKing's kindness towards the Prince is most likely due to the fact that he was created by the Prince. It could also hint at how the Prince wants his father to be, or simply the Prince sees past the King's aggression and knows that his father does love him (and is only pushing him to do better).
RoboKing does not use the royal "we" like the King, and tends to be less aggressive. He wants to be nice to The Prince/Cousins, which is hinted when he asks them to please go roll a Katamari. He also wants The Prince or Cousins to be better than him when he says "...leave being OK to me." 
==Appearance==
RoboKing has a blocky, metallic body that resembles the King. His attire is designed after the King's clothing in Katamari Damacy. They both don a lioness belt, purple pants, a blue top, cape, collar and a crown. However, his facial hair is dark purple instead of black.
RoboKing's eyes are slanted in a way that makes him look very depressed.
==Trivia==
*At the heel of his foot, he's branded as "COSMO" in the Namco logo's font.
*During the 'Farewell!' stage, as RoboKing's interior is revealed when rolling up roboparts, it's revealed that he has random objects under everything, such as fruits and art supplies.
* When 'angry' or in 'danger mode', his eyes turn red, changing from the usual yellow.
* According to each robopart description, every cousin contributed to RoboKing's creation.
* RoboKing is seemingly a foil character to The King of all Cosmos, depressed and self-deprecating as the King has a large ego and speaks about himself in a good light often.
* When ignored during the intro of a level or when worried, he makes soft metal screeching noises.
*In Tap My Katamari, he appears if the Cosmic Mushroom is purchased.
*In the later levels of Katamari Forever, he admits that he does not understand how making stars works.
*In the webcomic, he is the antagonist of the time travel arc. He built a special katamari that accidentally destroyed the Earth, leading the Prince to go back in time and stop it.
*Jessie Lam, one of the artists for Tap My Katamari, has stated RoboKing pops up along with The Queen and Papa because they support The Prince.Jessie Lam speaks about Tap My Katamari's buffs
*For the Korean release of Katamari Forever, his description reads " A robot that the prince and his friends made with hard work. He has a cheeky, pessimistic personality. But it's like singing a nice song." (This description may not be fully accurate as Google Translate was used for translation.)
* In the "Night" stage from Oi Katamari Damacy-Kun's third level pack, a pre-Katamari Forever RoboKing design appears. Though these two robots share the same Japanese name (王様ロボ, Ousama Robo), the designs are vastly different.
