Although I have no emotions, there is something warm and cozy about this letter.
~ Robo, commenting on the letter left on the Rainbow Shell by Queen Leene.

Background

Robo is a robot originally created to assist humans at the Proto Dome in Chrono Trigger. His real name is Prometheus while his serial number is R-66Y. He uses his robotic arm as a weapon and although Spekkio cannot grant him the power to use magic (Spekkio being unable to properly read his character), Robo can use laser attacks that are similar to Shadow magic and bomb attacks that are similar to Fire magic. He also sports several healing techs. Along with his sturdy physique and high physical damage capabilities, he is the most versatile character in Chrono Trigger.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Robo’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Having a curious and bright personality, he was rendered dormant by the Apocalypse in 1999 AD, but was found and repaired by Lucca in the year 2300 AD. Upon his reactivation, Robo has no memory of his prior mission and joins the party. Alongside Crono, Robo assists in shutting down the power in Derelict Factory, which controls the power of the nearby domes, and thus permits access to a Gate back to the Present. Within the Factory, Robo shares a not-so-warm reunion with the R-Series, his former comrades and mechanical brothers. Their combined effort damages Robo severely, but Crono and his friends succeed in preventing the R-Series Robots from causing permanent damage.

Entering the Time Gate with his companions, he accidentally ends up at the End of Time where Gaspar explains only three beings can travel through a Gate simultaneously to avoid ending up there.

After the resurrection of Crono atop Death Peak, Robo learns that he originated from Geno Dome, a robot-producing Factory east of the Derelict Factory and isolated on an island. There, he is punished by his corrupted maker, Mother Brain, for having sympathy for humans, and he meets his long-lost companion robot Atropos XR. For the first time since Lucca reactivated him, he remembers his true function was to survey and service humans and prevent Mother Brain from spreading her poisonous tyranny to the other robots.

In the Middle Ages, Robo volunteers to spend four hundred years restoring Fiona's Forest. During this time, Robo ponders the existence of an Entity, a being who seemingly guided Crono and his friends through time the intended purpose of intervening in affairs the Entity grieves. He explains his theory to the party when reunited outside the Forest Shrine in 1000 AD.

After defeating Lavos, Crono's companions return to their own periods. Lucca and Robo share a touching farewell, the latter explaining that Lucca had shown him the meaning of human emotion. Thereafter, he procrastinates entering the Gate back to the Future, fearing that because he toyed with time, so to speak, he would cease to exist in his original time period. However, in the most common ending of Chrono Trigger, Robo still exists in the new timeline and as the Epoch is searching for Crono's mother, he and Atropos XR are seen overlooking a more beautiful landscape (as Lavos didn't destroy it in 1999 AD).

General Information

Key: Early Game | Pre-Vortex | Post-Vortex

Name: Robo, Prometheus

Origin: Chrono Trigger

Sex: Sexless due to being a robot, though he goes by Male pronouns

Age: Over 300 | Over 700 (Was working for nearly 400+ years during the events of the Sunken Desert) | Over 15,200 (In Chrono Cross Robo reappears as the Prometheus chip keeping FATE in check, this chip is in 2300 AD along with the 2300 AD era Chronoplolis being sent back 10,000 years into the past)

Classification: Time Traveler, Chip to Control FATE

Species: R-Series Robot

Status: Unknown (The fate of Robo after the ending of Chrono Trigger is unknown with Chrono Cross alluding to Crono and Lucca being killed by Lynx and Harle but with no direct confirmation being given. Along with this, in Chrono Cross there exists a Crono, Lucca, and Marle all deceased from a timeline where they lost to Lavos, no longer existent. In Robo's case, his chip is found and destroyed by FATE, though due to the ending of Chrono Cross, Robo's fate is ultimately unknown if he's back alive or not)

Alignment: Neutral Good (Crono and his team are time traveling warriors who want to prevent a future where Lavos destroys everything, with their methods being noted as selfless due to them preventing a disaster from a time period they technically wouldn't even be apart of since it's far away from their time)

Grandfather Paradox; Remembered Marle even after she was erased from time due to her ancestor being killed resulting in her never existing. Was aware that the Black Omen was not always there, unlike everyone else who assumed the Black Omen always existed there. Unaffected by Lavos' temporal shifts. Fermi Paradox; Changing a future in the Chrono Verse causes said future to be erased from existence though characters like Robo still exist even after defeating Lavos and causing the erasure of the future timeline from ever happening. Casual Loop; Is unbound by the causality loop of fate that attempts to force a cycle to continue), Acausality Negation (Causality Immunity; Can fight and harm the denizens of the black omen, which transcends time and space and exists outside of it’s flow making it exist simultaneously in all time periods at once, Gaspar, the Guru of time describes the black omen as "straddling time"), Subjective Reality & Observation (Type 2; In the world of Chrono Cross the world is stabilized by the observations of the one who views it with each world having it's own observer, along with this in one's dream exists truth, the observation of many made supercomputer's such as FATE once they sealed away the dragon gods become literal gods of fate in the world), Dreaming Existence (Everyone in existence is born from a dream and returns to dreams, with them borrowing the power of Lavos to materialize those dreams[1], dreams are a the manifestation of reality itself and every single thing is dreaing the dream of "life" itself and those things are just a dream of the dream of the planet where all things return to Zuran, the sea of dreams), Body Control (With Rocket Punch, extends his hand to launch his fist at an enemy), Healing (With Cure Beam, restore a small amount of HP to himself and an ally. Heal Beam, restore a small amount of HP to all allies), Energy Manipulation & Shadow Manipulation (With Laser Spin, a shadow element attack that attacks all enemies with a laser), Afterimage Creation (With Rapid-fire Fist, barrages an enemy with rocket punches), Explosion Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (With Proximity Bomb, a fire element attack that blasts the surrounding enemies), Electricity Manipulation & Holy Manipulation (With Shock, an omni-directional holy element attack that zaps all enemies with electricity).

Notable Techniques


  • Punch: Robo runs up to the enemy striking them fiercely with his arm.
  • Critical Hit: Robo jumps over to the enemy and hits them with a hard right hook, dealing devastating damage.
  • Counter-Attack: When equipped with certain accessories Robo will counter when an enemy attacks him without taking up a turn.

Other

Standard Tactics: Robo’s style of fighting is mixed with punching and his techs, with equipment he uses to defend from various physical attacks and magical spells. Robo is naturally better at fighting with a team so he normally will summon his friends across time to help him in combat and do various team attacks. If the enemy proves very powerful he might use the Epoch to ram it.

Weaknesses: Due to being an inorganic being he has no innate magic within him making him have to use different kinds of attacks to replicate magic.

Note: The 50% of damage absorption does not mean they absorb 50% of the damage and take the other 50% of damage, it means that they convert 50% of the damage into health, while the other 50% is neglected.
