Cubot

## Bio

Cubot is one of the two tertiary antagonists in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. He is a robot built by Dr. Eggman. One of Eggman's aide robots, Cubot mainly assists the doctor in his schemes for world domination, with his partner Orbot working alongside him to perform various duties.

While loyal to Eggman, Cubot is dim-witted and lazy. He also has a faulty voice chip which causes him to randomly switch between different accents and personalities.

## Appearance

Cubot is a diminutive robot, but slightly taller than Orbot. He has a black square head with a flattened, yet wider yellow square cap on top and a larger black square on the bottom, the latter of which resembles a jaw. His jaw can separate from his head to reveal a light blue cover resembling a mouth. He also has two gray-framed and pupil-less light blue eyes. His chest consists of a smaller yellow cube, and he has yellow gloves for hands. His arms and back consist each of two thin gray bars that are joined by a black and yellow ball joint. His lower body is a black open cube with a gray inside and a ball joint connecting it to his back.

## History

#### Past

Created by Dr. Eggman to kill some time, Cubot was later given the purpose of aiding his creator in his various schemes.

#### *Sonic Colors (Comic adaption)*

In the Wii version of *Sonic Colors*, Cubot and Orbot assisted Dr. Eggman in his scheme to enslave the world with a mind control cannon by capturing the Wisps from their planets in Egg Planet Park and harvesting their Hyper-go-on. At some point prior, Cubot received a new voice chip to replace his old voice but occasionally got stuck with a cowboy accent.

Before the opening day of the amusement, Cubot and Orbot were out trying to capture Yacker and a Cyan Wisp until Sonic the Hedgehog arrived and saved the Wisps. Later, Orbot and Cubot presented the Wisps they had caught to Eggman and were just sent out to get more when Sonic arrived. After the Rotatatron had then been released and destroyed, Cubot and Orbot were sent to clean up the robot's remains. Though they were unable to find Rotatatron's arm, Cubot was unconcerned, not aware it had been jammed into Eggman's mind-control cannon.

Following that, Cubot continued working on his voice, but without much luck. When the mind control cannon later was ready, Cubot watched Eggman activate it, only for it to backfire due to the Rotatatron's arm being stuck in it. As Eggman was in denial of what was happening, Cubot remarked that Sonic always foiled his plans. Cubot was then praised by Orbot for being attentive by getting a slap on the back, which gave Cubot his original voice back. When Eggman then faced Sonic in his Nega-Wisp Armor and was defeated, Cubot was pulled with Eggman and Orbot into a temporary black hole created by the mind-control cannon. Now stranded in outer space, Cubot and Orbot began helping Eggman get back to civilization by pushing him in his trashed Egg Mobile through space while Cubot continued to talk endlessly about a random number of subjects.

#### *Season 13 (Sonic Generations)*

a short while after the destruction of Egg Planet Park, Cubot and Orbot were still pushing Dr. Eggman in his damaged Egg Mobile through outer space when they encountered the primordial form of the Time Eater. As Eggman decided to harness the creature's powers for his own needs, he had Orbot and Cubot push him into the Time Eater, leaving the robot duo behind in space.

#### *Season 17 (Sonic Forces)*

In *Sonic Forces*, Cubot was cleaning up Dr. Eggman's newest secret lab while the doctor was attempting to design new robots. Eventually, however, Eggman discovered the Phantom Ruby outside his lab. As Eggman sought a name for the gem while studying it, Cubot came up with several suggestions, all of which were shut down by Orbot.

Months later, Cubot was cleaning the tube containing Eggman's so-called greatest weapon to date. While Eggman was ranting about his hatred for Sonic and how his weapon would not only defeat Sonic, but also ensure his conquest of the world, Cubot got pushed aside by the doctor but agreed nonetheless with Orbot that Eggman actually meant it this time. Orbot's hunch soon proved to be correct, as Eggman soon after conquered over 99% of the world.

Six months later, Cubot showed the destruction of the Death Egg to Orbot, Eggman, and Infinite, and attempted to flee with Eggman when the latter suggested they do a "tactical retreat" to cut down on their losses.

Back in Metropolis, Cubot left the scene when Infinite opened a portal into Null Space, which sucked Sonic and the Avatar into it. Cubot soon after helped Eggman until he and Eggman's gang discovered that Sonic and the Avatar had escaped Null Space. As Eggman and his henchmen fled the scene, Cubot fell behind when he tried listening to Sonic's conversation with the Avatar, prompting Orbot to smack him on the head.

#### *Team Sonic Racing: Comic Special*

In *Team Sonic Racing*, Cubot and Orbot were stationed at Dr. Eggman's home base, the Final Fortress, while the doctor took part in the Grand Prix organized by Dodon Pa with his Eggpawns. There, Cubot and Orbot would perform their list of duties while staying in contact with Eggman via radio.

While in contact with Eggman, Cubot took one of Eggman's figures of speech literally, prompting Eggman to call him a "special kind of idiot", which Cubot took as a compliment. Later, Cubot complained to Orbot about how Eggman chose to race with his Eggpawns instead of them. However, Orbot reminded him of the duties they had to perform, which Cubot read backways in spite of his illiteracy. Later, Cubot confided in Orbot that he felt jealous seeing Eggman hanging out with other robots, something which Orbot found odd since Eggman could not stand him. When Orbot later tried presenting his list of ways Eggman's latest plan could fail, Cubot helped remind Orbot that they should not make such lists because they make Eggman angry. When Eggman later invited Zavok onto Team Eggman, Cubot replied over the microphone that Zavok should be prepared for losing, making Eggman angry. When Orbot asked him why he held the mic button down when he said that, Cubot replied that he likes buttons.

After Dr. Eggman, Zavok, and Metal Sonic brought a kidnapped Dodona Pa onboard the Final Fortress, the villains forced Sonic and his allies to race them so that Dodon Pa could capture the teams' Ultimate Team Energy and use it to finish his Ultimate Energy Engine. A little while afterward, Cubot and Orbot warned Eggman that his Death Egg had gone crazy and was heading straight for the energy core. Cubot, Eggman, and Orbot thus evacuated from the Final Fortress before the fortress crashed due to the destruction of the energy core.

## Personality

Cubot is a good-hearted and easygoing robot. Even though he is supposed to be built with the same CPU as Orbot's, he is somehow dim-witted and somewhat slow on the uptake; he has no concept of sarcasm (as evidenced by his reaction when Eggman flippantly told them, after Orbot asked if he wanted the remaining Wisps, that Eggman actually wanted them to go fetch him "a cheeseburger and a shake") and even when things are explained specifically to him, it takes a while for him to catch on.

While still a competent henchman, Cubot is talkative, not very serious, and generally annoying to those around him. Also, despite his devotion to his master, Cubot is lazy. Unwilling to take action until he is scolded, he actively tries to get out of doing any work.

Cubot's personality can be affected by whatever accent his voice chip is currently set to, causing him to adopt mannerisms and behavior associated with his accent.

## Powers & Abilities

Cubot has the ability to retract his body into a travel-sized cube. While in this state, he is fully capable of movement. While uncurled, he is also able to twist his neck 360 degrees.

Cubot is able to levitate and can move freely through midair. However, he is not able to levitate any higher than a few meters above the ground. He is also capable of projecting holographic videos and displays from his eyes. As shown during the Lost Hex incident, his head also has the ability to operate independently from the rest of his body. Most notably however, Cubot possesses a special skill that lets him change both his personality and accent depending on the voice chip currently inserted into him, although certain types of physical contact can yield the same effect.

## Relationships

### Dr. Eggman

In contrast to Orbot's dislike of their creator and boss, Cubot likes and admires Dr. Eggman. Despite getting nothing but mistreatment and abuse from Eggman in return for his services, Cubot has remained genuinely faithful and honest towards him. However, it has been hinted that Cubot has a hard time grasping the fact that Eggman is his boss, prompting him to forget who he is talking to.

Despite his preference for Eggman, Cubot's laziness puts him at odds with his master. As such, Cubot often ends up upsetting Eggman. Similarly, Cubot constantly annoys Eggman with his idiocy and voice chip issues. Also, while he might not understand the consequences of upsetting Eggman, Cubot is very much fearful of his wrath.

### Orbot

Orbot is Cubot's partner in the service of Dr. Eggman and the two are an inseparable pair. By comparison, Cubot is the comic relief to Orbot's straight man.

Like Eggman, Cubot's dimwitted behavior does not sit well with Orbot, who mentioned during the Lost Hex incident that having Cubot attached to his body during the escapade was like a nightmare. When the duo work together, Orbot usually lets Cubot do all the work while he slacks off, normally without Cubot noticing it. During his time as a disembodied head, Cubot would also be fumbled around by Orbot for his amusement. Despite everything he has to put up with him though, Cubot is not bothered by Orbot at all and has often referred to him as a close friend of his, a feeling which Orbot ultimately reciprocates.
