## Character Description

Prism's robot agents - including Robutler - are one of her many creations. They are robots whose consciousnesses can be transferred between multiple robotic bodies in case they get damaged or destroyed.

The robots all mainly look the same, some foldable sphere with bronze and silver platings, with two arms that have small metal plates for fingers, also being carried by a small disc-shaped thruster that floats under them. They all have what looks like a heart-rate monitor under their head, but actually displays when they are talking, and they also have many lights. These lights can change from blue to red when the robots are either angry or flustered. With the upgrades that the robots obtain throughout the game, their appearances also change slightly as a result depending on the mission; for example, in Operation: Blind Spot and the missions after it, the robots obtain what look like built-in "hard hats" to suggest an improvement in strength, and in Operation: Cold Shoulder, they obtain their own "jet packs" that allow them to fly. In addition, they are powered by a core made of kinesium - it is unknown what the kinesium *specifically* does to them that makes them better than what they were in Hot Water's robot trophy, however it is implied in Operation: Not a Drill that it plays some part in making them sentient.

## Appearances

Operation: House Call is when we are first introduced to Robutler. He is shown as a pretty nice and curious robot, often seeming impressed and proud of the agent for telekinesis and such, for example, when he says: "Look at you using Telekinesis!" But at the end of the mission, he tries to kill the agent with poison, and upon them finding the antidote, he quickly switches to a more direct approach of lasers.

In the mission Operation: Not a Drill, we get to meet with Left Robot and Right Robot, which both aid the player with hard-to-decode clues in their dialogue, but also seeming skeptical when you mess up. You wear a disguise, after all!

In the mission Operation: Blind Spot, we hear various dialogue of Right Robot, i.e., the one that left the mine during Operation: Not a Drill, talking to Prism. After he jumps on the agent's car at the end of the mission, they then have to disarm his lasers using some of Prism's notes in his chest-ish compartment.

Robots are not present in Operation: Hot Water!

We see a lot of upgraded robots in Operation: Cold Shoulder, hundreds in fact, at the end. But they all are unfortunately blown up by Zor's Project 'KBOOM'. The last one in that mission is then seen being comforted by Prism as they slowly deactivate.

No robots are shown in Operation: KBOOM, however we do hear from Right Robot - the only robot that survived the KBOOM project - during the epilogue after the mission.

## Personality

Throughout the missions, it's shown that some robots have different personalities than others, so it's hard to pin-point exactly what they are like. But it is shown that they are pretty active, often enthusiastic, quick-thinking, hard-working, and pretty empathic towards other robots.

## Trivia

* Robutler is the only robot in IEYTD3 to have a bow-tie. Equally, Left and Right Robot are the only robots shown to have miner's helmets.
