Appearance

His color scheme is matte black and matte light gray. He is shaped very rectangularly, especially his head and torso. His head is a small but long black rectangle with a rounded dome at the front that contains his single green light-up eye. A long cylinder is attached to the left side of his head, containing a blue light at the front. His body is a perfect cube except for the rounded edges and a few indented details. The torso is mostly black, but the left and right sides are gray, and there is a metallic silver streak on the left side of his chest. The I-Sobot logo is also written on his chest. His arms consist of three joints (the elbows, upper arms, and shoulders) and are made up of black rectangles and connectors. His hands are gray and have three fingers. The forefingers and thumbs are black and poseable. His waist is much narrower than his torso, containing gray details. His legs are attached to his waist with very narrow cylinder-shaped joints, and each leg contains an astounding 5 joints, all made up of black rectangles and connectors. His feet are very flat with one large gray toe on each foot.

Personality

He is normally professional and collected in how he speaks, but his short temper often shows. He seems slightly annoyed when Bob approaches him in "MiP's Quick Draw" demanding a Nintendo Switch, but he calms down to explain the drawing contest. In "MiP's Quick Draw", he shouts in anger in front of the entire village when he is annoyed by the Nintendo Switch logo's persistent appearance. He is also sarcastic, as revealed in "MiP's Royal Treatment" when he expresses his annoyance that MiPP-E didn't offer to help him up.

Abilities

• Public Speaking

  • In "MiP's Quick Draw" and "MiP's Royal Treatment", I-Sobot announces the results of the Nintendo Switch drawing contest in front of the entire Robot Village, showing he is comfortable with public speaking.

Relationships

• Bob

  • I-Sobot seems slightly annoyed when Bob approaches him in "MiP's Quick Draw" demanding a Nintendo Switch. However, he calms down to explain the drawing contest. I-Sobot is also impressed with Bob's drawing, as he calls it "lovely" in "MiP's Royal Treatment".

• MiPP-E

  • When MiPP-E regains consciousness in "MiP's Royal Treatment" after fainting in "MiP's Quick Draw", I-Sobot complains about the crazy day he had, revealing to MiPP-E that Bob won the Switch. MiPP-E quickly leaves, thanking I-Sobot. Out of earshot of MiPP-E, I-Sobot then expresses his annoyance that MiPP-E didn't offer to help him up off the ground.

Trivia

• MiP's Quick Draw

  • When I-Sobot calls Bob “Bub”, this is a reference to Captain Underpants.

  • The last time the Switch “Click” animation is played, no one even says “Switch”. This is why I-Sobot is annoyed.

  • When “The winner is” is said, it is voiced by the announcer of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, not by Elias. This is also a callback to "MiP Plays Super Smash Bros!".

• MiP's Royal Treatment

  • “I have fallen and I can’t get up” is a reference to the famous “Life Call” commercial.

  • I-Sobot’s longest line (Starting with “I’m asking the same question” and ending with “Clearly, I am losing my mind”) is a reference to Hugo’s second line in Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure.

• MiP of the Wild

  • I-Sobot can be seen in the background of the Robot Park scene, still fallen over in the same spot from the events of “MiP’s Royal Treatment”.
