R.O.B. Squad

The R.O.B. Squad - The Enemies From Subspace is a group of enemies in Super Smash Bros. Brawls Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary that is found exclusively on its levels set on the Isle of the Ancients. It could be considered a robotic counterpart to Bowser's Minions.
Aside from defending the Isle of the Ancients, the R.O.B. Squad played a vital role in Tabuu's plot to conquer the World of Trophies. Whenever a Subspace Bomb is set to be detonated, a pair of R.O.B. Sentries must be sacrificed when they are required to activate it. The R.O.B. Squad was initially under the command of their leader, R.O.B. alias The Ancient Minister, but during an attack on the Subspace Bomb Factory, took control of them, ordering them to attack the Ancient Minister. This cut scene is the only time R.O.B. Sentries can be seen using their beam firing ability. When the Isle of the Ancients ceased existing, the R.O.B. Squad was wiped out along with it, with only their leader surviving the ordeal.
Three types of R.O.B. constitute the R.O.B. Squad, each with their own unique design and attacks. Their trophies are collected by use of a Trophy Stand.
==R.O.B. Sentry==
The R.O.B. Sentry is the R.O.B. Squad's equivalent of a Primid, attacking with melee moves. Like Primids, there are variations of the R.O.B. Sentry that attack in different ways. According to the description for the R.O.B. Blaster trophy, R.O.B. Sentries are equipped with beam firing capabilities, but they choose to participate only in hand to hand combat.
==R.O.B. Blaster==
The R.O.B. Blaster are members of the R.O.B. Squad whose color scheme is loosely based on R.O.B.'s North American design, but with a more purplish tint. Unlike the R.O.B. Sentry, the R.O.B. Blaster chooses to use its beam firing capabilities, attacking from afar. There are two varieties of this unit, one which remains stationary and another which moves around by hovering with its booster rockets. The mobile version can be difficult to battle as it is the fastest member of the R.O.B. Squad and will attack from a distance.
==R.O.B. Launcher==
R.O.B. Launchers have a very dark green body and the cord on their backs is light blue. One of 's alternate costumes is very similar to this color scheme, but the cord has a different color. R.O.B. Launchers fire tracking missiles at the player which deal 21% damage per hit. The missiles cannot be absorbed as they are physical projectiles, but they cannot be reflected either. They are arguably the toughest members of the R.O.B. Squad.
== Giant R.O.B. ==
The Giant R.O.B. has only one appearance in a cutscene playing before Outside the Ancient Ruins. A frightened Olimar watches his Pikmin as they fruitlessly attempt to attack the R.O.B., but it kills most of the Pikmin with its Arm Rotor. then appears and vanquishes the R.O.B. with a Falcon Punch.

== Trivia ==
*If the player looks in the background of many levels of The Subspace Emissary, they may be able to see a part of a R.O.B. The most common level to see them is Outside the Ancient Ruins.
*The members of the R.O.B. Squad are smaller than the playable R.O.B.
*Because the R.O.B. Squad was destroyed with the Isle of the Ancients, they do not appear as enemies in The Great Maze, even in the areas created from the island.
