Astro Robin

The Astro Robin is a machine piloted by Jack Levin / his Anime Universe counterpart.

In the Main Universe, it was designed by a famous and veteran F-Zero racing team known as Team Lightning Bolt, who were part of F-Zero's old guard.

In the Anime Universe, it was apparently designed by Dr. Clash's Anime Universe counterpart.

## Technical Stats

### **F-Zero X**

The Astro Robin is an unlockable machine, piloted by Jack Levin.

### **F-Zero GX**

 **Astro Robin (English Translation by Sidier):** An F-Zero machine by the Team Lightning Bolt, a famous and veteran F-Zero team. It's made lightweight for Jack, who wanted it feel speed like that of lightning when driving. Its high pilot ability is its main trait. To appeal to Jack's female fans, a lot of internal cameras were put within it, more than anyone else. This way, he can be seen from several angles.

*Note: Sometimes, the F-Zero GX Player's Guide information will be odd / inconsistent / have additional information that is not supported by any other official/canon source of F-Zero information.*

*Note: CARDT data refers to the data displayed for machines primarily for F-Zero AX, though they are also within the F-Zero GX game files. The information is presented in English, but they appear to be broken English translations or not correctly translated in some cases. "Team Lightning Volt" is most likely supposed to be rendered as "Team Lightning Bolt."*

## Machine Stats

### Weight

1050 kg

In the Anime Universe, the Astro Robin is piloted by the Anime Universe Jack Levin.

### **F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)**

The Astro Robin appears in the anime, piloted by Jack Levin. However, during Lap 5 - Brilliant Trap, Lisa Brilliant hijacked the machine after taking Jack's maglet. She then entered the Grand Prix with the machine painted in a pink coloration, with some hearts, flowers, and lipstick decals. Jack eventually got it back within the same episode, with the help of Ryu Suzaku and Dr. Stewart. Afterwards, the machine's appearance was restored.

Even by the 2207 epilogue, Jack still uses this machine.

### **F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)**

The Astro Robin is an unlockable machine.

 **(PAL):** A little low on booster power, but its body and grip characteristics are excellent, and so on circuits it can even outdo the Dragon Bird. But as Jack himself is a bit of an oddball, he often makes mistakes -- so it seldom makes it home first.

### **F-Zero Climax**

ジャックが暴走族の時代から愛用していたマシンを、クラッシュがＦ－ＺＥＲＯ用に改造、彼が手足のように操作できる、グリップ性能に優れたマシンと言えよう。
 **Astro Robin (English Translation):** Dr. Clash took Jack's favorite machine from his gang days and modified it for the F-Zero, making it a machine with excellent grip that he could control like a limb. A large number of girls' addresses are entered into the machine's auto-navigation system.

**Note:** The F-Zero Climax English fan translation patch assumes there was an F-Zero crash that prompted the remodeling of Jack's machine. However, it is most likely referring to Dr. Clash, who then remodeled Jack's machine to be suitable for F-Zero. There is still some fault with the context of either rendition, as Jack's Shinigami persona in the flashbacks of Lap 37 depicted him with a hoverbike (that eventually exploded) as his main mode of transportation.

## Trivia

***Main Universe:***

* The SS-C503-LV engines used by the Astro Robin are likely modded from an engine model that Team Shooting Star previously produced. The LV at the end is likely a reference to Jack's last name "Levin." Why Team Lightning Bolt would use an engine from a presumed rival team is unclear, though by the time of F-Zero X, Team Shooting Star would have already disbanded.
