*"Hello, I am Robert, I report all the stupid news they give me."*

Robert and the Newbie Alliance would later finally get their chance to compete, with Robert, Jacques and James joining The All, alongside Chris, Mark, Kevin, Rebecca and Stan.

## History

### Revamped 2011

In an alternative 2011, Robert Robertson competed in a battle for the **Brilliant Factory of LittleBigIndustries**, hosted by Silverhawk. Robert, alongside Cori, Ked, Jetmir, James, Barry, Tony, Sam, Chris and Clive Handforth, were later dropped into *Cake at Stake*, where Robert was pleaded safe. Robert would later be killed by a rampaging Copernicus the Guard Turkey along with the other contestants.

### *Advanced Randomness* Skit

*"-and now we bring you Robert Robertson with the news! ...AND WHERE THE HECK IS HE?!?"*
―Silverhawk[src]

In 2012, Robert Robertson collaborated with Silverhawk to be featured one of the skits for the then-in production *Advanced Randomness* Pilot. In the skit, Silver narrates to inform the viewers that it's time for "Robert Robertson with the news". Seeing no-one in the broadcasting center, Silver questions where Robert is. Robert is then shown to be approaching his news table, only to get blocked off by a wall that pushes him away.

### Eligible *IBLFB* Contestant

*"We were supposed to debut in a BFLBI Reboot that never came to be. We never got our chance to compete..."*
―James[src]
By 2015, Robert Robertson was brought on board to be a contestant for *IBLFB*. Along with the other members of the Newbie Alliance, Robert was originally set to compete in the game show, guided by Simon. However, Silverhawk cancelled the show and moved on to make *Out Walking the Dog 2* instead, laying Robert and the other contestants off. Later on, Robert became a regular at the Disco Jam.

### Observing Silverhawk's Destroyed Hut

In 2019, Robert, alongside some other Grand Metropolis citizens, made their way into the nearby forest to see the remains of Silverhawk's Hut, which was destroyed by Levi earlier that day. There, Robert and the others watched as the Hut continued burning, still set aflame from when it was first hit.

### *Battle for BFLBI: The Power of Tanner*

#### Joining *Battle for BFLBI*

In 2022, Robert and the Newbie Alliance approached Sam so they could go to the Disco Jam together, where Jacques met the other original *Battle for LittleBigIsland* Contestants. Robert and everyone else were later transported to Silverhawk and Four's location after a Black Atom was formed. Upon arrival, Robert got up from the ground and reported to everyone that they weren't dead.

#### Joining The All

*"Hey, we're like, The Newbie Alliance, right?"
"Technically we are, but there are other people here."*
―James and Robert[src]

Instructed by Four to form eight teams of eight, Robert joined the Newbie Alliance, with the hopes of forming their own team, consisting of only those who never got to compete due to *IBFLB's* cancellation. However, the Newbies started departing, with Dan and Alex moving on to join The Wildhead Nutcats and Shane switching to The Death P.A.C.T.. Robert then decided to join Chris' team, alongside Jacques and James.

Later on, James asked Robert if they were still pretty much the Newbie Alliance. Robert told James they technically were, but reminded him of the other people who were there. Mark then chimed in, telling Robert that they weren't all in the alliance. Chris then prevailed to take "The All" out of "The Alliance", with the intentions of calling their team the **Iance**, but accidentally ended up with the name of **The All** instead.

#### Murdered by VCM

*"Hello, I'm Robert Robertson bringing you the stupid news. Here is a live popcorn bush, in the wild."
"Poppin' popcorn!"
"That's right! A bush that grows popcorn!"*
―Robert and Jacques[src]

Joining Jacques, Robert Robertson left the rest of his team to file a news report on a nearby popcorn bush. Robert was suddenly interrupted as VCM came out of the popcorn bush by surprise. Robert became very shocked to see VCM, having known VCM as a *LittleBigPlanet* legend. Robert then prevailed to interview VCM, asking for VCM's opinion on something, but VCM went ahead, stole his microphone and used it to bang Robert down to the ground. VCM then started brutally murdering Robert, who screamed in pain as he died and was eliminated. Jacques was immediately murdered afterwards.

#### Up for Elimination

Despite the deaths of Robert and Jacques, The All still had Chris, Mark, Kevin, Rebecca and James standing. However, Kevin would be murdered by his *Nerd Or Noob* counterpart, Chris and Mark would be burnt by Robo-Cort, Rebecca would be killed by Shrek, and James would later sacrifice himself to stop Shrek's rampage, making both their teams down to zero members. At first, Four couldn't tell who died first, but then Sarah Bermudez returned to inform Four that she never died and was just lost, making Four place Robert and the rest of The All up for elimination.
