Robot-01 is a humanoid robot created by the Katayanagi Twins to fight Scott Pilgrim.
History[]
Scott Pilgrim graphic novels[]
Robot-01 is pretty small in size but can still attack Scott. It attacked Scott at Julie Powers' party in Volume 5. Scott then eventually defeats it, but much to his disappointment, it leaves no item or rewards behind. Fortunately, there's still plenty of junk food left at the party.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game[]
The robot also appeared in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game as a boss in World 5 which you must defeat. In World 7, Robot-01 returns as a weaker mass-produced enemy in the Technobase before fighting Gideon Graves. This could be a reference to how some Role Playing Games (RPG) have bosses as a common enemy in the later levels.
Fortunately, one of the Robot-01 clones runs Techno Shack and sells Food Pills, Beef Jerky, Energy Tanks, Microwave Chicken, and Fighting Software to help Scott and friends prepare for the final battle!
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off[]
Robot-01 plays a very prominent role in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, where he is responsible for sending Scott to the future via teleportation. It is also discovered that he has vegan powers and is capable of storing all his memories despite the passage of time. Robot-01 is seen throughout the series, stalking and watching Scott's close friends and acquaintances.
Robot-01 gets hit by Young Neil's golf buggy at Torontowood Studios and runs off afterwards, he is then seen watching Ramona from behind in a field of bushes as she skates away from the studios. Later, Robot-01 breaks into Julie's house, where he is found hiding under a lamp shade, when Julie alerts Lucas and Gideon of his presence, Robot-01 storms off in anger and falls from the window, breaking the glass in the process. Robot-01 later gets mistaken for a trash can when sitting on a street, when someone places a banana peel on him.
When Scott from the future kidnaps Scott from the present, the present Scott uses the temporally-omnipotent Future Robot-01 to see the events which occur in the present.
Robot-01 attends the opening night of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Musical along with the Twins, however he later gets transported to the Dream Desert by Even Older Scott who battles with Scott and his friends. After returning from the Dream Desert to the theatre, Robot-01 can be seen clapping as the musical ends.
In the epilogue, Robot-01 is seen sitting in Second Cup with the Twins reading a book.
