Orbot is usually the one Dr. Eggman sends out for errands, weather it’s for supplies or equipment.

## Biography

### Background

Orbot was created by Dr. Eggman to be used as an assistant, including delivering sandwiches and making them. However, years prior, Orbot raged and Eggman booted him to “supporting assistance,” while also creating Cubot as “co assistance.”

Although Orbot was jealous of Cubot at first, he began to treat him like a brother and even joked around with him. Eggman later regretted giving Orbot a friend since they both talk trash about him behind Eggman’s back.

### “The Perfect Actress”

While Dr. Eggman waits for Amy Rose, he starts to get upset and frustrated. Orbot then assures Amy will have to show up sooner or later. Eggman then says Orbot might be right.

When Amy does not arrive, Eggman throws a fit. When Orbot begins to tell him something, Eggman punches Orbot, causing him to fly out of the Café.

### “Mistakes Happen”

While Dr. Eggman holds Jenny and the other citizens hostage, Orbot is present while Sonic and his friends come to the rescue. When Sticks jumps out to attack Dr. Eggman, Cubot suggests that he and Orbot leave, and they do so, him agreeing "personally."

At the dinner party in Uptown, Cubot and Orbot appear to be enjoying their dinner and chatting in the background. When Eggman attacks, they are collapsed within rubble and continue to remain there.

### “Doctor Assistance”

At Sonic’s house, Orbot shows up at his door, before Sonic shuts it in his face. But after Tails suggests Orbot might need help, Sonic opens the door and asks Orbot what he needs. Orbot then tells Sonic that Dr. Eggman specifically asked for him, and that he needs his help. After Sonic discuses going out to see Eggman, he finally does so, and Orbot escorts him to the lab.

After Amy finds out Sonic might be in trouble, she runs over to Eggman’s lab, where she runs into Orbot. She quickly asks of Eggman’s whereabouts before Orbot questions Amy’s sudden appearance. She then kicks him suddenly. Amy then asks Orbot of Sonic’s location, but he is unable to answer and says he doesn’t know what to say. Amy then hears Sonic shout from a short distance, and she runs over to help aid him, but he is stuck in a cage. Amy then calls Orbot a jerk, but he immediately says it wasn’t even his idea. Eggman then shows up, and Amy kicks him down, twice. Amy tries to make Orbot open the cage but he says he doesn’t want to risk being deactivated. Eventually, he traps her in the cage with Sonic, and Eggman immediately leaves with Orbot to pick up some equipment.

When Orbot and Eggman return, the lab is destroyed, and the Doctor declares that he will one day get Sonic. Orbot sarcastically replies by saying he’d love to see the day, but that all his hard efforts will eventually go to waste. Eggman then tells him to shut up.

### “Boredom”

When Dr. Eggman arrives back at the lab, Orbot is present. Orbot then mocks Eggman, and predicts that he will fail. Eggman tells Orbot that his plan is important and continues to explain his "master plan." He explains by hitting the red button in his lab, it will destroy the entire Station Square. Eventually, Sonic and the others bust in and take Eggman down, as he watches. When Eggman screams in pain, he watches, alongside Cubot.

## Other appearances

### "Sticks' Experiment"

In Eggman’s Lab, Sticks begins her experiment by Turing on the camera and stating that if someone is seeing the video it must mean that she is dead. Orbot, curious, asks Sticks why she wold be dead, and she responds with a long pause and then a scream. The video then statics out.

In the next scene, Sticks introduces herself and demands that the experiment begins. She then introduces Orbot as her assistant, and he interrupts and corrects her by saying that he was not programmed to be of any resource to her. She then screams at him, and the video statics out.

Orbot begins running away from Sticks, screaming. She tries to catch him but the video statics out once more.

Next scene, Sticks begins by holding a canister of flammable gas and assumes its fun to play with by its pattern and technical designs. She laughs and says she’ll go get the fire, and Orbot enters and warns the potential audience not to try the expirement. Sticks shouts saying she heard it. The video statics once more.

The next scene consists of Sticks holding the can of gas while Orbot handles to fire in the back. Orbot warns Sticks to be careful as it is dangerous. Sticks assures nothing will go wrong, but quickly changes her mind about the experiment and wants to start something new. She throws the can and starts talking about how to deal with enemies. In the back, the canister lands on Orbot’s head and touches the fire and explodes shortly after Orbot’s warning to Sticks. Then the video cuts to static again.

In the last scene, the lab has been exploded, and Sticks acclaims how cool the explosion was, Orbot not liking it. Sticks is happy, but Orbot says Eggman won’t when he returns because of the destruction they’ve caused. Sticks quickly leaves before Eggman returns, and he ends up getting mad at Orbot by punching him out of the scene, an the video cuts to static for the final time.

## Personality

Orbot is a sarcastic, practical, and semi-friendly robot who follows the orders of his "Boss," Doctor Eggman. He likes to tease his creator whenever it feels right, and likes to make small-talk with his robotic "brother," Cubot. Since he was the first to be created, Doctor Eggman has known the robot much longer than the rest he has created - and even though he doesn't like Orbot so much, he is his favorite social creation.
