Rob 64


 * "Message from General Pepper! Priority one!"
 * —ROB 64

Information
ROB's name is a reference to the NES accessory R.O.B.(Robotic Operating Buddy), to which he bears a more than passing resemblance. The "64" is derived from the console of his first appearance, the Nintendo 64.

ROB's Japanese name, "NUS", stands for "Nintendo Ultra Sixty-four," the original name of the Nintendo 64 system, and is part of the serial number of all N64 components: the controller, for example, is NUS-005. Like with his English name, the 64 is derived from the console of his first appearance.

ROB has the ability to completely control the Great Fox, technically making the ship fully autonomous. He is also networked to the ship's main computers, allowing ROB to process any information requested by the Star Fox Team. ROB can also use the ship's transfer device to send vehicles and items to Star Fox team members in the field.

Before Star Fox team
ROB 64 was not completed when James died. He first served the second Starfox team.

Before Lylat Wars
When Fox became leader of Star Fox, ROB was hardwired to the Great Fox. He was the team Star Fox Great Fox pilot. He helped in many missions. He would only provide backup fire for the team if the Arwings could not penetrate a target. He became friends with the members early on.

Lylat Wars
He was the one who intercepted the destress signal from General Pepper, and transmitted it. There wasn't much he did in the battle of Corneria except provide backup fire. At Meteo he blasted the teams way with the laser cannons and supported the team with fire. He also gave Fox a Smart bomb to help. At Katina he didn't do much except give Fox supplies. At Sector Y he provided more backup and gave Fox some supplies. At Fichina he reported that there was a bomb in the base, and gave more supplies to Fox. At Aquas he dropped Fox off in the waves and gave supplies. At Solar he backed the team up and gave Fox many supplies, because of the searing heat. At Sector X he took out some of the rubble so he could pass in and drop off supplies. He then had to receive data to find Slippy which he reported was on Titania. This time he went ahead of the team to find Slippy and soon found him. At Zoness he again provided covering fire and needed Fox to destroy the beacons because the ship was to big to pass unspotted. At Macbeth he helped out in finding the Forever trains destination. At Sector Z while passing through the debris field, was attacked by missiles wich were shot down by Fox and his team. At Bolse he could not do much because of the size of the station and was only able to give Fox supplies. At Area 6 he helped destroy many of the battle cruisers with his heavy laser cannons. He flew low at Venom to back up the team and drop off bombs. He was unable to help against the fight against Golemech because the ship would not fit in the temple. He was also only able to watch helplessly as Fox plunged to fight Andross. After Fox destroyed Andross, ROB escorted the team to Corneria, and then flew off into the sunset. After Lylat WarsEdit

ROB helped in tracking down the remaining Venomian forces for 4 years after the wars. Yet there wasn't much else he did during that time period. Titania research base incidentEdit

ROB intercepted the Hot Rodders' SOS signal on Titania. He flew in orbit, while the team went down. Later, ROB was ordered by Peppy to deploy the Landmaster (with Slippy as the pilot) onto Titania so he could scout ahead and discover whether Captain Shears had any ulterior motives after an incident where Fox and Falco got into a dogfight and Falco ended up badly damaged and crashlanded. When hailed by the Hot Rodders, ROB was then ordered by Peppy to investigate the files that the Hot Rodders stole from the research base: He then revealed that the files did not contain anything regarding Andross's research, but rather a cloning program to resurrect Andross himself. ROB then informs the team regretfully that Slippy's communication link was cut at some point prior when Peppy realized that he inadvertently placed Slippy in grave danger. He spent the remainder of the mission observing Fox's infiltration of the facility to rescue Slippy.

Saurian Crisis
8 years after the Lylat wars, ROB and the Great Fox fell in disrepair. He suffered from joint dislocation, and had to be fixed many times by Slippy. ROB also supplied them with the information regarding the conflict on Sauria, although he ended up short circuiting, resulting in ROB needing repairs from Slippy that were completed as they arrived at Sauria's orbit. When the team got their mission on Sauria, ROB was unable to use the Great Fox as help, as its weapon systems didn't work right, but he did transport fuel cells, and some Binoculars to Fox down planet, but due to the ship's disfunctional transporting systems, had them accidentally scattered all over the Planet. He transmitted data from Fox throughout the mission. At the end, ROB couldn't help in the battle against Andross. He was happy to get their fee because he "really needed some oil". He accepted Krystal in the team and could sense Fox's blood pressure rise, and said it aloud jokingly.

Oikonny Rebellion conflict
During the conflict, the newly repaired and changed ROB got involved in many battles, with the newly repaired and more powerful Great Fox. AT the Battle of Fortuna, he shot down many of Oikonny's cruisers and tracked down Oikonny to the rebels base on the planet. Aparoid InvasionEdit

ROB fought hard in the invasion. He transmitted data from the core memory captured on Fortuna, and participated in the battle of Katina, and the attack on Sargasso space region, as well as the battles of, Fichina, Meteo, Sauria and Corneria. He then helped Beltino transmit data from the core memory captured on Meteo. At the Battle of Beltino orbital gate, he warned the team many times to take down the missiles heading towards the gate. At the battle of the Aparoid Homeworld, he and Peppy fought bravely, but suffered damage from the Aparoids. They soon got many Aparoids on the ship. When the shield came up, he destroyed the Aparoids outward base, and he and Peppy sacrificed themselved by ramming the Great Fox into the shield, where they were presumed to be killed. But they survived with the Ships cockpit escape pod.

Anglar Blitz
The team got a new Great Fox, but it was much weaker. It is unknown about ROBs opinion on it. ROB underwent changes to get hardwired to the new Great Fox, earning him the sarcasm chip. He was the only one not to leave the team, besides Fox. When the Anglars invaded, ROB analyzed data from their ships and explained them to Fox. He then asked if Fox wanted training. If you choose yes than he makes you undergo 4 training exercises. 1 is stearing, 2 is fighting, 3 barrel rolling, 4 is time limit. If you choose no, than ROB takes you to Corneria. There he tells Fox about the fuel limit, in wich Fox replies that if he gets taken down then its up to ROB, who replies with a laugh asking if that was a joke. At the fight ROB backs up Fox. After it ROB tells Fox that the Anglars ships are made of chrome that can survive the Venom sea. You are than left with 3 choices. Either one you choose leads you to take different paths.

Star Fox 64
ROB's debut in the Star Fox series was in Star Fox 64. His role in the game was operating and maintaining the Great Fox. When needed, ROB sent supply boxes that contained rings, smart bombs, lasers, or Wing gyro from the mothership. ROB also repaired the shield-depleted Arwings of Fox's teammates, and would be done with fixing them by the time Fox had finished the next level. ROB only serves to relay information to the pilots, such as "Location confirmed. Sending supplies." or "Great Fox will cover you." In this game, ROB is the most analytical.

Star Fox Adventures
ROB appeared again in Star Fox Adventures. He helped with processing saved data. His role was very minor in this game, but he appeared in the ending scene along with the other members of the Star Fox team. Also in this game, ROB seems to have human-like, changing personalities. This may be due to his rebuilding by Slippy Toad.

Star Fox Assault
ROB served a role in Assault similar to the one he had in Star Fox 64. He was nearly destroyed when Peppy Hare crashed the Great Fox into the shield protecting the entrance to the Aparoid Queen's lair, but Peppy and ROB managed to use an escape pod before the ship was destroyed. The Apraroid Queen had used ROB's voice to try and convince the team to "join them".

Star Fox Command
ROB returns in Star Fox Command, piloting the new version of the Great Fox in the map mode, and also giving some advice to Fox and the other characters during the missions. On some paths in the game, ROB joins Star Wolf Team when no "hero" character is around to play as. In this game, he, like in Adventures, becomes more humanoid, even uttering sarcastic remarks. For instance, if the Great Fox is destroyed, ROB says, "Goodbye cruel world." He even has veiled feelings for Lucy Hare, when he remarks to her that he'd do anything for her.

Voicing
ROB is voiced by Daisuke Sakaguchi in the Japanese version of Star Fox 64, and by David Frederick White in the English version. In Star Fox Adventures, his voice is performed by John Silke. In Star Fox: Assault's Japanese version, he is voiced by Yusuke Numata and by Dex Manley in the English version.
