Bud Robinson

Buford "Bud" Robinson (better known as Grandpa Bud in his old age) is the grandfather and patriarch of the Robinson family.
==Background==
===Personality===
Bud is a funny person. He likes to wear his clothes on backwards. His eccentricity is shown when he has a painted smiley face on the back of his head. He has problems keeping his teeth inside his head.
==Role in the film==
Bud is first seen in the future in the year 2037, having been startled by Lewis, who accidentally bumped into him. He ends up laughing and asking him if he had seen his teeth anywhere, for he's been digging holes in the yard all day and couldn't find them anywhere. He starts his conversation by joking about the smiley face drawn on the back of his head. He kept replying that he didn't know where the garage is and reveals that he didn't know it then but he had a Woodchuck living on his arm, hoping it didn't have any rabies. Lewis begs him to take him to the garage. He does so by exploring the Robinson home using the travel tubes. He introduces Lewis to all of the family members in the household with Franny being the last one. He finds her lead frog, Frankie, has his teeth and manage to get them back.
He later joins with the rest of his family ,along with Lewis, at dinner in which he feeds a meatball to the face on the back of his head. Later, when Lewis tries to fix Carl's PB & J contraption only for it to splatter peanut butter and Jelly all over everyone, Bud was also splashed and covered with the two pastes. When Lewis tried to apologize for it, Bud was instead impressed with it, telling him that he "failed". He then joins with the other Robinsons in giving a toast to Lewis. When Tiny the T-Rex makes its presence known, Bud was left in shock upon seeing the dinosaur. He then joined in the battle against Tiny. When the dinosaur was taken down by Uncle Art, in which Tiny was covered with a large amount of pizza dough, Bud believed that he and the Robinsons were victorious. However, he was then horrified when a now-berserk Tiny emerges from the dough, causing Bud to immediately run for his life. When it angrily grabs Carl, Bud and Tallulah immediately grabbed onto the robot's legs in a desperate attempt to rescue him, but they, along with Carl, ended up getting thrown into Laszlo, in which they then crashed into a wall.
Bud did not rejoin in the fight after that. After Tiny was brought back to its senses by Wilbur, Bud rejoins him and his family. He then cheered with the rest of the Robinsons when Lewis accepted Franny's offer to be adopted. However, he was immediately shocked when Lewis is revealed to be from the past. He then sadly looked on when Franny tells Lewis that he should return to where he came from. After Wilbur revealed that one of the time machines was stolen by the Bowler Hat Guy, which explains on why Tiny is with them now, Bud proceeded to look up at the T-Rex, who was busy rocking itself. He then watched as an angry Lewis runs off, after he discovered that Wilbur never intended to take him back to see his mom. When Franny tells Wilbur that he is grounded, Bud gives his grandson a disappointed look before turning his back on him and going back into the house with the rest of the Robinsons.
Later, when the future was alternated by Doris and Bowler Hat Guy, Bud became a slave of Doris, in which he is now under her control. Now a mindless drone, he obeys Doris' orders to kill Lewis. When Lewis managed to repair the time machine and survived, the mind-controlled Bud was forced to watch as Lewis escapes.
When Lewis goes back to the present, he uses Lucille as his test subject instead of himself. She tells him the date of her wedding where he finds out Bud is her husband. Both are impressed by his invention and adopt him after the science fair concludes. When they arrive at their house, Lucille and Bud take Lewis to the observatory where he spends all night writing down ideas for his future inventions.
