Crank Casey

Crank Casey (known to his friends as Crank) is a major character in Robots. He is voiced by Drew Carey.
Staying true to his name, he is constantly complaining about various problems. He prefers the easy course of action, which to him involves sitting around waiting for the worst to happen, and complaining when it does.
==His Story==
Crank is one of the many robots who Rodney Copperbottom meets on his journey to Robot City. He lives with Aunt Fanny, Fender Pinwheeler, Piper Pinwheeler, Lug and Diesel.
Crank's first appearance in the movie is while he's searching with his friends to find spare parts. After Fender makes an appearance just as a head before the rest of him falls from where it came from, another one of Crank's friends in a silly way asks Fender if he's lost weight. A few seconds later, the group says hi to Rodney Copperbottom. Then after attention is given to what happened, Crank tells the rest of his friends "Come on, Let's get Fender fixed; again." with sarcasm because of how often they have to. After Crank and the rest of his friends go to the hardware store to try and get help with what happened to Fender, he finds out that parts for his model are no longer being made, and that purchasing an upgrade is his only hope. Then after Fender says he can't afford it, the shop keeper tells him that the only other option is the chop shop; then Crank and the rest of his friends stand up to the shopkeeper demanding him to find them what Fender needs. Then Rodney comes in to tell Fender that he has a solution for him.
After Rodney helps Fender with his problem, Crank and his friends find Rodney a place to stay. The next day when Rodney feels like what happened to Bigweld is something to worry about because of what they were told at the store, Crank tells him that it's not worth focusing on; "Never try, never fail; those are the words I live by".
In a later scene at the train station, it's found out that everyone's getting rounded up and taken to the chop shop for not purchasing upgrades. Crank panics and says that the only option left is to get on a train a go somewhere else. Rodney gets in their way with the concept that they're giving up even though they shouldn't, and Crank makes sure Rodney realizes that he started it by relying on Bigweld instead of believing in himself.
A few scenes later after Bigweld ends up in the chop shop; Crank at first says that there's nothing to do now, A few seconds after Roney disagrees, Crank realizes that trying your best is the actual thing to do.
In the final battle, where he temporarily gives up his pessimism in favor of determination against the common threat, replacing his old wheels with monster truck wheels and obtains headlights by saving Bigweld from Ratchet and his evil mother Gasket.
