Roboto is a fictional character from the Masters of the Universe franchise.[2]
Character history[edit]
The 1980s[edit]
Roboto was introduced into the Masters of the Universe toy line in 1985. His first appearance is in the Mattel mini-comic "The Battle of Roboto", in which he is built by Man-At-Arms, who gives him a cybernetically-enhanced heart, which enables him to feel human emotions and interact with his comrades as a human rather than as a machine.[3] He was an exceptionally brave fighter, even to the point of taking on Hordak in single combat in one issue.
Given that the accompanying cartoon series was drawing to a close at the time his action figure was released, Roboto only makes one appearance in the cartoon, but unlike most other figures released at this time, Roboto was lucky enough to get a whole episode written around him. This episode, "Happy Birthday Roboto" features a radically different origin story for him, in which he was a space explorer from the alien world of Robotica, who crash-landed on Eternia. Initially wrecked by the crash, he was repaired and restored by Man-At-Arms.[4]
Masters of the Universe: Revelation[edit]
Roboto appears in Masters of the Universe: Revelation as one of Teela's allies.[5]
Reception[edit]
Roboto has had a mostly positive reception from critics. Comic Book Resources voted 13th best out of 15 Best He-Man Toys.[6] Gizmodo ranked Roboto 21st best toy in Masters of the Universe.[7]
