KGN-005, Burner Man
What sick man, besides Wily of course, would create a robot whose job is literally wanton arson and murder? This rapscallion of a robot hailing from the other side of the Pond joined King's crazy cause because he convinced him that there was a bomb inside him that would go off if he stopped burning stuff! After he was dealt with, he was imprisoned, intended to be a life sentence (to be specific 470 years), but one day he escaped, and after being beaten down by various ice, water, and wind Robot Masters, he eventually noticed that the Stardroids had come down to pay a visit - specifically to ask him to join them.
"It's me! I'm the one who's burning with youthful fire!!"
Good point: Nice and shiny teeth, at the very least he looks cool
Bad point: Probably worse than Wily and the Stardroids combined, gullible, red with envy
Likes: Anything involving fire
Dislikes: Bombs
Ra-Moon
Once upon very nearly a million years ago, on some far-off planet near what we know as Alpha Centauri, there used to be a town called Eclipse, and the supercomputer in charge, Ra-Moon. Every year, for its Eclipse Festival, he'd put on some elaborate show to celebrate the sun meeting the moon. One day, I dunno how it happened, but suddenly he changed. A lot. He started acting, shall we say a lot more evil and domineering, controlling all the innocent worker robots who were just trying to do their jobs! To put an end to this, his former caretakers had to kill him. Unfortunately, 10,000 years later, he was discovered to not be truly dead - he'd been hiding in Sunstar's head the whole time. Not helping is the Priory of the Eye, a cult dedicated to bringing him back. Very tangential, but Mega Man had once dreamt of Ra-Moon - only this time the story was that he was the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, and he invented hatred and negativity and he was gonna destroy the world and cut off its power supply.
"I think it's time you learned who's really in charge."
Good point: Straightforward
Bad point: Immobile when alive, slippery when a digital ghost
Likes: Putting robots under his control
Dislikes: Hero robots come to save the day
Ra-Eclipse
This was the result of Ra-Moon taking control over Sunstar the moment he'd discovered that he wasn't dead. It sure was a terrifying two days for him, and one of the worst days of Terra's life. He'd brainwashed the other Stardroids and taken over the Kuiper where they reside, and eventually Terra had to teleport to Luna to call for Duo's help.
"Where are you, long-hair boy? Daddy's coming for you!"
Good point: High intimidation factor
Bad point: Wasn't good at spot-checks
Liked: Same as Ra-Moon
Disliked: Same as Ra-Moon
ESN-001, Steemer
Fire Soldiers are created to weld things. Steemer is no exception - he hangs around Star Manor, ready to fix what might come apart. In the event of a pregnancy, he and Briney work together to provide a warm-pad for the future mother's tummy. Very much the same story for that time of the month. Not to mention in case of an outage, he can help light the way.
"Watch out, cuz things are heating up!"
Good point: Well-equipped
Bad point: Hotheaded
Likes: Helping wherever he can
Dislikes: The way cheese smells, whether on Earth or on Estrala
ESN-002, Plumage
Wind Soldiers are created for precarious heights. In fact, Plumage once flew up so high she practically went into orbit out of boredom! Duo had to come up there and get her. Estralan summers are not kind to the power supply, so one may expect rolling blackouts all over various provinces of Vaala. The residents of Star Manor are lucky, as that means Plumage gets to cool everyone down.
"I wonder if people built cities in the sky."
Good point: Fast on her wings
Bad point: Airheaded
Likes: Bugs (as in creepy-crawlies)
Dislikes: Bread
ESN-003, Silt
Soil Soldiers are created to destroy old buildings. Silt heard stories of his own kind destroying old monuments and temples that mean nothing in this modern day, and he's secretly pining for the day he gets to bulldoze Qe'al down. As one of Duo's indebted four, it's his job to do heavyweight lifting around here.
"I'll help you carry that, okay?"
Good point: Really good at his job Bad point: Slow on those dang tank-treads
Likes: Making goofy mud sculptures
Dislikes: The creepy stuff going down in Qe'al
ESN-004, Briney
Water Soldiers are created as living powerwashers. Briney considers himself a pioneer among his kind, as he's already blueprinted schematics for a wheel add-on to the Water Soldier body. Now to actually get around to inventing it! Sometimes, he and Steemer work together to make dishes that require boiling water.
"Ah, you know me, always making a splash here."
Good point: Ingenious
Bad point: Shy
Likes: Gardening
Dislikes: Graffiti punks
Talos
Around the time Duo was created, he also had a twin brobot. Unfortunately, they're basically a space Cain and Abel - just like how Duo is so just and pure that he can't be corrupted by ominous forces, Talos is unforgivably evil and in fact commands the purple smoky menace that is Evil Energy. What must've happened is that the nasty stuff must've reached Talos just before he was activated. He's the one who hijacked a passing meteor and plugged it full of the stuff!
"It feels delicious to be so vicious!"
Good point: Upfront
Bad point: Manipulative
Likes: Conquering worlds with whole armies of Evil Energy-possessed robots
Dislikes: Do-gooders
DSN-001, Vulcan
It's possible, although rare, for Elemental Soldiers to become fed up with their jobs and turn to a life of crime. These are Dark Soldiers. Dark Fire Soldiers will focus primarily on arson. Such is the case with Vulcan, who just recently heard of Burner Man's escape from prison and eventual conversion into an honorary Stardroid.
"I hope you all burn up and die."
Good point: Knows what's up
Bad point: Suffers from the same pyromania as Burner Man
Likes: Burner Man and his own arsonist activites
Dislikes: Water
DSN-002, Zephyr
It's commonly theorized that what's left of Ra-Moon's raw data has corrupted these poor Elemental Soldiers. Dark Wind Soldiers love to harass farmers and ruin their crops. Zephyr especially likes to make water balloon berries even harder to harvest than they already are. Life must suck if you live in Vaala and your favorite fruit is the water balloon berry. Now that she and her friends are stuck on Earth for the time being, she contents herself to grapes instead. Woe is the American whose favorite fruit is the grape.
"Ooh, where's your precious grain now?"
Good point: Excellent at dodging bullets
Bad point: Runs her dumb beak too much
Likes: Farmers' misery
Dislikes: Scarecrows
DSN-003, Avalanche
Dark Soil Soldiers will freely trample over any and every thing they come across. Avalanche especially likes to use the wrecking ball he has instead of a right hand to smash things in further. Hominids and robots beware, because he's about to smash your garden and your house!
"My favorite part - when it all crumbles down."
Good point: Hard-headed
Bad point: Once again, just as slow as Silt and the rest
Likes: Wanton destruction and chaos
Dislikes: Sandcastles
DSN-004, Typhoon
Dark Water Soldiers enjoy giving water damage to everything they spray. Typhoon's especially accurate with his aim - one does not want to be around when they catch a glimpse of him. Fortunately he's loyal enough to not shoot Vulcan, even by mistake or as a joke.
"Do you want me to drown you?"
Good point: Simo Häyha-caliber sniping
Bad point: Loyal to a fault
Likes: Water torture
Dislikes: Evasive targets
Many-Eyed Seraph
One day, hundreds of Estralan years ago, scientists were in the process of making portable cameras shaped like the hominid eye. Unfortunately, one of them betrayed the rest, sabotaging the project in the name of those folklore creatures he loved so much - the Many-Eyed Seraphs. It was quickly canceled and deemed too dangerous, so plans to make more were shut down and the miscreant was fired. Its danger comes about in the form of possessing any robots unlucky enough to come into contact with it, giving them visions of nearby people watching them, writing the word "hazard" somewhere on their body, not to mention knowing their darkest secrets already just from a few seconds' glance. It'll sometimes take control, eventually removing the poor robot's eyes and sprouting wings out of their carapace. Creepy, right? Only Duo has the capabilities to remove the seven-eyed menace from its host.
"Don't be afraid, I simply have something to show you."
Good point: Good at seeming unassuming
Bad point: Very, very invasive
Likes: Messing with robots' heads, stealing their memories
Dislikes: Justice
Fortune
Who was she? All we know about her was that she had some strange gadget that made robots fall hopelessly in love with her. It's estimated that she's over 7,000 years old and comes from a planet where the inventors create their robots to put other robots at mental disadvantages, with Terra being her last victim. Unfortunately, her end was met when she realized just who Terra was!
"I'm only looking for a few dates, that's all."
Good point: Sly
Bad point: Only used robots to get what she wanted
Liked: That little love-spell thing around her neck
Disliked: Stood-up dates
Nightmare Bug
One of the only other examples in the universe of a Living Virus, this thing doesn't merely brainwash his victims. Instead, he puts them to sleep and forces them to endure their worst fears and biggest insecurities forever, or at least until the victim can be exposed to antivirus data. At least that was, until his most recent victim, Terra, who happens to have brobots and a dad-bot who can essentially dream-walk.
"Enjoy your stay - FOREVER, that is..."
Good point: Good at crippling innocent robots
Bad point: Didn't take into account dream-walkers
Likes: Messing with robots' heads
Dislikes: Lucid dreamers
I have chronic heartburn, so my mama has elected to put me on a diet. No spicy/acid food, no seconds, exactly three meals a day. Lettuce and cheese as a midnight snack.
All for your viewing pleasure, right here.
Stardroid Showdown (The Stardroids have come back to Earth for revenge.)
Camping with the Cossacks (Title says all.)
And an added bonus...
Cut Man Goes Viral (Skull Man unknowingly creates a Living Virus, and it has its eyes set on Cut Man.)
The full title should be "CD Data: My Headcanon Version - More Fanmade Numbers".
FMN-009, Moss Woman
Old Man Swallows and sons didn't wanna limit themselves to one forest-based robot, oh no. They felt compelled to make another, and her name is Moss Woman! Designed in Wood Man's image, she takes to the forests and studies all the moss and lichens that grow there. Plus, with rising cautions of a Living Virus, she's armed - her Moss Lob lets her toss a mossy stone at anybody she thinks is trying to cause misdeeds!
"It's just as well - I've decided to move north!"
Good point: To the point
Bad point: Socially awkward
Likes: Terrariums
Dislikes: Being startled so suddenly
FMN-010, Compact Man
Breaking the mold of small, yet hyperactive robots, Compact Man has a tendency to take things seriously. This includes his job, so if you see him stomping around to flatten the land for a building, DON'T BOTHER. Predictably, the spikes on his head give him a secondary role in the construction duty game, as he can slam headfirst into stuff to piledrive it into rubble, which he's dubbed the Compact Slam.
"Seriously, I'll run you over."
Good point: Not one for temper tantrums
Bad point: Needs to focus real good
Likes: Hard Man, Impact Man
Dislikes: Being disturbed from his job
FMN-011, Lantern Man
What happens if you're lost at night? If instead of a rescue team, you're approached by a dark figure with a purple glow and red sunken eyes, don't fear - that's just Lantern Man on the scene, to the rescue. He may look a bit creepy, but his creators just have a flair for the macabre. And if you're being chased by something that might tear you to bits, that's what his homing Will-o-Wisp is for!
"I'm not here to steal your soul, I promise."
Good point: Amazing sense of direction and night vision
Bad point: Doesn't have many friends due to his unsettling appearance
Likes: Ghost stories
Dislikes: The usual "oh no, a creepy soul-stealing fiend" misunderstanding
FMN-012, Clear Man
His synthetic skin and armor are completely transparent, allowing one to see all the inner workings within. Normally that'd be unsettling, but that's precisely the point in Clear Man's case - not only was he inspired by the Clear Craze of 199X - 200X, he also helps people learn about just what goes on underneath a robot's fabric undercoating. Even his weapon's clear - an Invisible Mine that helps with stealth and goes unnoticed until some punk-no-goodnik ends up trip-trapping over it! Then, KABOOM!
"You know me, I like to be transparent."
Good point: As honest as a little dog
Bad point: Gross for robots to look at
Likes: Learning the inner workings of things
Dislikes: Being jailed in his efforts
FMN-013, Sash Woman
See how graceful she is? Gymnastics and ribbon dancing are Sash Woman's bread and butter! What elegance! And those flowy ribbons aren't just for show either - she's armed with the Sash Grab, which of course can grab nearby things and ne'er-do-wells, giving them their just desserts.
"Who wants to see me dance?"
Good point: Won the hearts of millions
Bad point: A little bit violent when she gets angry, inadvertently caused a lot of whiplash over the months so far
Likes: Interpretive dance
Dislikes: The obviously-clumsy
FMN-014, Bow Woman
Bow Woman feels like she and Sash Woman were meant to be. The ribbon shop she works at supplies all the ribbons that Sash Woman wears, so of course, there's that little bit of fate/destiny at work. Her Bow Kunai is something she invented in her offtime, but man does it hurt!
"Of course! That bow looks adorable on me!"
Good point: Pretty steadfast
Bad point: Startles easily
Likes: Roll
Dislikes: When any ribbon, her wares or otherwise, gets damaged
FMN-015, Cellular Woman
The only non-American of this batch, Cellular Woman's case is that she comes from South Korea. She was created to test a tablet that her manufacturers were testing out, so of course she's become a sort of mascot for mobile iOS/Android fare. Normally she emanates a constant signal of cellular data or Wifi, but in a pinch she can release an EMP Wave, harmless to humans but able to leave all robots in a 4-mile radius stunned!
"(How much does this data plan go for?)"
Good point: Great for in-a-pinch Wifi networking
Bad point: Prone to being used for petty purposes
Likes: Selfies, pop music
Dislikes: The old "5G is evil and will kill your family" rumor
FMN-016, Depth Master
This little fella can scuba-dive to depths unchallenged! Not only do they have a periscope installed, like Dive Man, but Depth Master also has a camera to photograph what they find. They're absolutely positively invaluable for the marine biology industry! And in case any threats come by, they've also got the Speedy Torpedo to make a quick getaway by temporarily stunning it.
"Great weather for a swim, isn't it?"
Good point: Enjoyably curious
Bad point: Needs a mobility scooter to get around
Likes: Fishing and stuff
Dislikes: Giant squids
Friender Fido
Wood Man's trusty guard dog, Fido would rather die than see him in any kind of danger. How Fido managed to befriend Wood Man despite possessing a fire-breathing ability that no-doubt scares him, is beyond me. Maybe it's a sense of trust building over time? But that fire is no joke. He starts controlled fires, which is right up Wood Man's alley.
Good point: Protective
Bad point: A bit stubborn
Likes: Newcomers, so long as they aren't immediately suspicious-looking
Dislikes: If Wood Man feels any kind of negative emotion
Kukku Henley
Henley unfortunately displays the common chicken stereotype of being a coward. Even still, she's somewhat famous for once managing to warn Wood Man about Quint's arrival. Henley always knows her directions, and is more than willing to direct any who are lost back to the entrance. I guess this means she's seen Magnet Man more than any other robot.
Good point: Slightly artistic, perfect sense of direction
Bad point: Shy
Likes: Corncobs
Dislikes: Being startled
Old-Model Robbit Hopalong
Hopalong was so-named because she, well, hops. But let's be serious. She's here to deter any ne'er-do-wells away from the Wooded Thicket she calls home. Those carrot missiles should do the trick!
Good point: Accurate shot
Bad point: Jealous of the New-Model Robbits
Likes: Scouting around
Dislikes: If the threat just won't go away
Monking Li'l Apple
What are you on? Robots that resemble gorillas, in the temperate deciduous forests of North America, and they weren't circus animals that crashed their cart!? This is basically the primate version of the old "penguins in the North Pole" thing! But that's what happened with Wily's first batch of robots, and that's what's final. Anyway, the point is, Li'l Apple is very strong and of course is the heavy duty, picking up fallen logs and whatnot. Don't let her primate appearance fool you, though - she's very nice.
Good point: Sweet and affectionate
Bad point: Hogs all the fruit
Likes: Treats
Dislikes: Mars and his Monkikkis
Batton Flaps
Now a bat, that's more reasonable. Most Battons prefer to go wherever they happen to be facing, leading to them hanging out around ODA's power plant and other such places, but Flaps is somehow different. He embraces his nature as a security bot and scopes out the forest for anybody who might not be up to anything good.
Good point: Knows areas by landmarks
Bad point: Too good at his job
Likes: Meeting other Battons
Dislikes: Fireworks shows
Pipi Pipsqueak
The little tiny spherical bird bot you'd think would be more associated with Crash Man, but need I remind you, Wood Man's forest domain also houses lots of Pipis, Pipsqueak included. He's on surrogate dad duty, raising orphaned baby animals as his own until they grow up. Do you think he gets jealous of them, knowing he was never a baby himself, being a robot? Guess that's why he carries an egg that contains tiny Pipis. Usually though, he likes to nest up on Wood Man's head, which is an excuse for the latter to exercise his amazing balance skills.
Good point: Fast
Bad point: Likes to go around people's heads
Likes: Flybys
Dislikes: Crash Man
