B.O.B.

"These poor creatures are what's left of the crew. Kept alive by means I don't pretend to understand."

“*My name's B.O.B., Bio-Sanitation Battalion.*”
―B.O.B. introducing himself to V.I.N.CENT
**B.O.B.** is a robot serving aboard the U.S.S. Cygnus.

## Background

B.O.B. was identified by V.I.N.CENT as the same model of his but from the "old 2-8, programmed in Houston." He was in a damaged condition with 'head' damaged so much that only one eye stood out and one leg protruded out with the other leg cut off.

## In the movie

B.O.B. first appeared in the storage area which Maximilian took Captain Holland, Lieutenant Pizer and V.I.N.CENT to acquire repair parts for their ship. V.I.N.CENT noticed him, introduced himself but with Maximilian glaring through the red light on his head, B.O.B. rattled and moved away in fear.

Later, as V.I.N.CENT entered the shooting gallery and spotted a black, shiny Sentry robot, he also found B.O.B. and learnt that robot was named S.T.A.R.. B.O.B. told him S.T.A.R. once was in a laser shooting competition with him, B.O.B. won and S.T.A.R. threw a fit and struck B.O.B. V.I.N.CENT further learnt that B.O.B. was the last of their type on the Cygnus and that the Sentry Robots think he's a "freak". S.T.A.R. then asked B.O.B for a re-match and despite V.I.N.CENT words of support, B.O.B was shaking. The damaged robot was a good shot but S.T.A.R. cheated again. To avenge B.O.B., V.I.N.CENT asked the flashy robot for a match and won by hitting S.T.A.R. That move caused a laser shot to ricochet and strike S.T.A.R. in his chest, causing the defeated and embarrassed robot to blow a fuse. As he did, the other Sentry Robots looked then S.T.A.R.'s glance told them to back away. Shaking, B.O.B. told V.I.N.CENT to meet him back in storage.

There, B.O.B. finally introduced himself, telling V.I.N.CENT he couldn't talk openly before as Maximilian would have destroyed the two of them and he had a lot to tell his new friend. B.O.B. helped V.I.N.CENT fully rearm his lasers, telling him the Cygnus was a "death ship" and Reinhardt only turned the ship's lights on so that there two ships won't collide. B.O.B. brought his friend to the ship's hospital, revealing the truth and saying the remaining crew are more robot than human. The two robots were force to destroy two Sentry robots behind them V.I.N.CENT then sent Kate an ESP message bring Dan, Charlie and Harry back to the reception area.

B.O.B. told the humans the true story what happened to the Cygnus crew and Kate's father, resulting in Dan to order Charlie to start the Palomino's countdown and get Kate and Alex back. Eventually, through ESP. V.I.N.CENT told Dan Alex was killed and Kate was taken to the hospital. Dan immediately asked his ship's robot to ask B.O.B. to led them there by the shortest route. B.O.B. did so, albeit lagging behind. Kate was rescued, but a group of Sentry Robots on a bridge forced them down. B.O.B. was help to the Palomino gang, engaging the Sentry Robots, although one fallen shot him. V.I.N.CENT lifted him up and B.O.B. remarked that was his first fight in thirty years, wishing Reinhardt and Maximilian witnessed it.

As the Cygnus started to enter the black hole and destroyed the Palonimo, the survivors headed towards the  Probe ship. B.O.B. lagged behind and was almost dragged into space. Dan held on to the robot would cried for the human to let go but was saved. Just as the survivors reached the corridor leading to the Probe Ship, Maximilian appeared and shot B.O.B.. V.I.N.CENT managed to defeat the red robot and tried to get B.O.B. moving. That robot however told his friend his motor stabilization was destroyed and main circuit was broken with both backups gone. He convinced V.I.N.CENT to go with his friends and continue their tradition that part of him will be with V.I.N.CENT and their model is always the best. V.I.N.CENT left his eyes lowered in respect to B.O.B.
