Bob

Bob is one of many Echo Commando Drones who were built by the Echo Corp for the Siege of Rhyboflaven and eventually reused by the Horde Syndicate. While it is unknown what he did during Magiswords: Echoes, visible damages suggests he was either inactive at the time and scrapped at Enterra Drive Yards, or was damaged from combat. He debuts in Crossover Forces as one of Cyber Catra's hundreds of minions aboard the Invincible Dreadnought Battle Cruiser. But unlike the rest of his fellow android units, Bob developed a full personality of his own thanks to a glitch from his programming allowing his independent thinking. He introduces himself to Catra as Bob believing it felt good to say, and because it was much easier to remember him. Though he was a formidable foe, when Bob was betrayed by Catra to save her own life, he defected to the side of the heroes, aiding them in their fight against Black Hat and his Horde Empire. He now works as part of the expanded Toon Force.

## Appearance

Being an Echo Commando, Bob mostly resembles the rest of his models with purple and pink colors and green to red highlights. Along with the familiar crown with a blue diamond at the center. However, like most of them, he is shown to have sustained heavy damage over the years from wear and possible fighting from the Siege of Rhybloflaven. As a result, his left forearm's wiring and metal endoskeleton is completely exposed. His left shoulderpad is missing, revealing a grey ball joint and outside cables on his chest. Some parts previously punctured like his stomach had been patched with small bandages, while the rest were kept mostly intact in spite of the scratch marks and visible cracks on his frame.

## Personality

Bob is best described as a humble but honest follower, able to receive orders but still be capable of making his own decisions. His intellect is often reserved to support his morality should he ever be forced to consider any possible option. Despite his purpose to serve under the villains, he still speaks politely and friendly to his opponents, often asking them to accept defeat or consider an alliance with the Horde Syndicate. According to Tulip and Cyber Catra, Bob is the only commando who talks like a normal person; much to Catra's annoyance to an extent, which humors Adorabat. When Bob was betrayed by Catra, he was quick to listen to and join Max and Mao Mao in their new rebellion, proving himself to be an incredible thinker and battle partner.

## History

### Magiswords Echoes

Bob was one of the many Commando Units created for the Siege of Rhyboflaven 2 years into the Toon Wars. However, it is unknown if he actively participated in the battle or was unused and scrapped at Enterra Drive Yards.

### Crossover Forces

He debuted in chapter 4 of Crossover Forces being ordered by Cyber Catra to examine the main generator of the Invincible after a power outage. It is here that he first confirms his name believing it to be fun to say, making him stand out among the rest of the troopers. After following orders, he's given the opportunity to guard Catra herself and keep watch of the prisoners aboard the warship. When Catra tried practicing an evil laugh and monologue, Bob, along with Max, felt that it was too dramatic and out of character for her. She then requests him to personally engage the heroes at Summer Camp Island, who've crossed over and liberated both the Infinity Train and Monte Macabre. Before they could teleport to CN City, Bob ambushes them at the controls, giving the group two options to other join the Horde Syndicate and reunite with Max or die. Despite Badgerclops spraying him with water, Oscar temporarily blinding him and Hedgehog's werewolf transformation dealing some level of damage to his frame, he proved to be a very formidable opponent before Adorabat distracted him. Hedgehog took the opportunity to slice off Bob's arm while he was focused on the other child, forcing him to retreat back to the Invincible for a replacement. But not before telling the group he'd get back to them later.

As planned, he ambushes Oscar, Hedgehog, and Adorabat in the middle of the many corridors of the Invincible in the middle of their mission to rescue Max. While chasing the trio, damages from the destruction of the glorb station causes the hallways to destroy themselves, throwing everyone off their course. After avoiding the obstacles, they successfully find and free Max. But before Bob can attack, his body is crushed underneath falling debris and loses his head. Without his body, he is forced to roll around the prison hall while the ship continues to suffer from the battles the heroes face. Eventually, he is met once again by Cyber Catra, who had been damaged from Adorabat's Homing Beacon Magisword barrage and in need of a new battery for her robotic limb. She asks him about the generator powering him, which he states is what's keeping him alive before it is swiftly plucked out by Catra to save herself. Ultimately, this would only help for a few minutes as she's quickly defeated by the heroes with the use of a trap.

When Black Hat revealed his true intentions to the Toonverse, having tricked them into granting him access to the Fourth Wall through the machinations aided by Catra, Bob was reactivated by Max, who needed help leaving CN City after failing to stop the launch of the Battloon Fleet. With news of the entire villainous plot revealed, Bob chose to ally with Max and the coming rebellion, helping them find One-One and gather enough people to make a stand against the new empire. Before the battle, Bob was upgraded by Entrapta with new material to help him fight faster and stronger than in his original heavy frame. He first warned Oscar and Victor of the coming attack, then snuck into the new palace created at the center of the Horde Capital with Mao Mao in his chassis. The two confronted and easily stunned Dr. Flug; injuring him by way of Bob's stun mode. But both are horrified to find that Hedgehog had nearly been experimented on, warping her emotions to be wholly obedient. Bob was truly appalled, enough that he hatches the idea that if Hedgehog was being manipulated to be scared, she could break herself out by being completely mad. He modified the controls on Hedgehog's bonds to totally enrage her, causing her to meld with her bestial side and go savage around the palace. Bob then recovered Adorabat, Badgerclops, and Tulip from their bonds.

Throughout the end fight, he came to assist the heroes as the battle began to escalate, having to catch Mao Mao when the palace collapsed, and aided he and Tanya Keys in their special Double Attack against Black Hat. After the battle, Bob became a well respected ally among the expanded Toon Force, finding comfort in exploring new technologies with Entrapta.

### Dark Disney

Bob briefly appears at the start of Dark Disney in an alternate future in the aftermath of a great disaster on the Toonverse and Etheria. He along with Jimmy, Cattus, Entrapta, Bimm, and Nicole confronted Black Hat at his headquarters to demand an explanation on what happened, learning about his plan to takeover the Toonverse and his failure to get Catra back at his side. Angered, Entrapta used Bob's cannon to kill him. This grim future ceased to be, however, once Max had gone back to a period before Black Hat could move to Disney to stop him from enacting his ultimate plan.
