Hello people! This is just a fun small little project of mine I'm going to be doing over the next 10 days. So, anybody that knows me would know that I'm a big fan of robots and I figured a great way to express this would be through this project!

The premise is very very simple, every day for the next 10 days starting from tomorrow I will change my profile picture into a different robot character from a game, movie, show, etc. and I will come here to write a little about them! Specifically the 10 characters I have chosen are my top ten favourites, there are a few rules I underlined for myself though!
  1. Only one character per franchise; there are lots of robot characters that I love but some of them stem from the same series. For the sakes of this list, I am limiting it to only a single character per series.
  2. Computers and robot-like characters count! Even though some characters may technically not be robots, if they have the mannerisms or are generally robot-y then they may be included!
  3. If I miss a day (hopefully I shouldn't, but you never know what can happen) then I can just continue the next available day without any repurcussion. This is just a silly fun harmless project that I felt like doing, the only reason I would break my schedule is if something unforseen happens but it's not a challenge.
  4. This list isn't really in any particular order
And that's all! I'm not sure if people will really be interested in this, or if it will be read but I don't really mind because it's just a bit of fun.

Check back tomorrow to see what the first character will be! ...I get the feeling this first one is going to be very very familiar to most of you

Day 1 - "The vacation starts now!"​
For the first day I have chosen none other than F.L.U.D.D., who is a character I'm sure you will all recognise!

F.L.U.D.D. originates from the videogame Super Mario Sunshine and serves as Mario's partner during the events of the game! They are capable of spurting water from the nozzle on their head but I'm sure you guys know all of this so today I'm just gonna jump right to the fun facts:

Did you know?
  • F.L.U.D.D. stands for Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device
  • F.L.U.D.D. was invented by none other than Professor E. Gadd!
  • F.L.U.D.D. appears in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie!
  • F.L.U.D.D. appears in the Super Smash Bros. series as part of Mario's moveset!
  • F.L.U.D.D. is voiced by Kit Harris who also provides the vocals for female Nokis!
  • An item that appears to be very similar to F.L.U.D.D. called the pump appears in the Mario Kart Arcade games!
  • 'F.L.U.D.D.' is a play on words, sounding similar to 'flood'!

Why I love F.L.U.D.D.
I think F.L.U.D.D. is a fantastic companion for Mario and serves as an interesting mechanic in the game they originate from. I find they really make Super Mario Sunshine feel like a special game. Their loyalty to Mario is an admirable trait and I really hope to see them return to the franchise some day!

Thanks for reading! Come back tomorrow, the next robot is going to be devillishly interesting!
 
Day 2 - "You can't just have your characters announce how they feel... that makes me feel ANGRY!"​
For the second day I have chosen my favourite character from the animated show Futurama, the Robot Devil!
1779570534553.png
For those unaware Futurama is an adult animated sci-fi sitcom created by Matt Groening and David X. Cohen and is about a pizza delivery boy from the year 1999 who gets accidentally cryogenically frozen and sent to the year 3000 where he finds himself joining the crew of the interplanetary delivery company Planet Express. The Robot Devil (or as he is sometimes referred to, Beelzebot) is first introduced in the ninth episode of the first season 'Hell Is Other Robots'. In the episode, Bender (a member of the Planet Express crew) gets sent to Robot Hell after becoming addicted to electricity where the Robot Devil introduces himself in musical form (It's a catchy tune!).

The character goes on to make multiple other appearances in the show, generally appearing as a recurring villain, his most relevant of these appearances is arguably in 'The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings' which was originally intended to be the series finale! To summarise, in the episode Fry ends up switching his hands with the Robot Devil's so he can play the holophonor so he can win Leela's heart. The episode is often considered one of the greatest in the entire series, I can only imagine this is because of the Robot Devil's involvement! Anyways time for some fun facts!

Did you know?
  • The Robot Devil is voiced by Dan Castellaneta who is known for voicing iconic character from The Simpsons, Homer Simpson!​
  • For one singular line of dialogue, he was actually voiced by Futurama regular cast member Maurice LaMarche!​
  • The Robot Devil is unique as he may be the only robot not created by MomCorp as he seemingly predates the existence of the company!​
  • One of the Robot Devil's signature traits is his prowess playing the fiddle which is a reference to the 1979 country song The Devil Went Down to Georgia!​

Why I love the Robot Devil
The Robot Devil is one of the funniest and most interesting characters in Futurama, if he appears in an episode you are always in for a good time! The performance delivered by Dan Castellaneta is fantastic. The absurdity of the character alone makes him hilarious, but he also always delivers when it comes to jokes and gags!

Thanks for reading day 2! Come back tomorrow if you're feeling especially paradoxical!
