"Robo-47 is your classic military robot," Jobe explains. "Like Congar, he's well-rounded. He has a huge machine gun in his chest that's capable of the fastest rate of fire in the entire game. His hand-to-hand attacks utilize a variety of robot weapons, like expandable hammers, drill bits, and titanium spikes! Robo-47 also has a vintage special attack...he is, after all, from the 'Atomic Age', so what robot would be complete without an atomic bomb?! Robo-47 can launch his nuke across an entire level. It has homing capabilities, too."
Robo-47 defunct military robot sits in a hangar marked 'Decommisioned Hardware' but when a disabled UFO crashes nearby, the radioactive fumes from the leaking fuel activate the robot's circutry which may be outdated, but still quite deadly. A military war robot whose time had ended at the demise of the Atomic Age, Robo-47 packs heavy-gauge steel plating and armaments once thought to be the pinnacle of modern technology. But Robo-47s shortcomings only reside in it's dated appearance. His Atomic missile packs enough punch to level a building...and the surrounding city block.

One might wonder why Robo-47 was decommissioned, as he is perfectly capable of taking on his opponents. Information given to the now-defunct Tips & Tricks magazine (issue 97, March 2003) states Robo-47 was decommissioned for a lack of a feasible power source.
Robo-47 is the only playable monster who has his very own theme.
