Encyclopedia > List of recurring robot characters from Futurama

Futurama has a large number of recurring characters which help add comic energy to the series.[1] One of the recurring themes for the robot characters is that they either serve little purpose to the humans who built them or that they are dangerous to them.[2] Futurama's robot recurring characters are listed here. This article is about the television series. ... A recurring character is a fictional character, usually in a prime time TV series, who is not a main character, but appears from time to time during the series run. ...

Boxy

Boxy is a crude robot similar to the "Gonk" droid from Star Wars, who is capable of communicating only by beeping. He is frequently seen in the company of Calculon, and has played a role or two on the soap opera All My Circuits, as Calculon's half-brother.[3] In the show All My Circuits, he is usually seen sleeping with or spying on Monique, Calculon's wife on the show. Boxy is frequently victimized by others, Calculon included, simply for his being an easy target. For example, Boxy is seen being thrown out of a hot air balloon by Calculon in the episode "Bend Her", and in "Crimes of the Hot", he is kicked onto his side by Bender and used as a podium of sorts. In "That's Lobstertainment!", Calculon threatens to have Boxy kill Harold Zoid if he doesn't win the Best Actor Oscar for his powerhouse performance in The Magnificent Three. Boxy backs up this threat by opening a slot on his side, revealing a small claw holding a gun. Boxy is also John DiMaggio's favorite robot character (his favorite human character is Randy).

Calculon

Flexo

Flexo

Like Bender, Flexo is a bending robot. Flexo looks and sounds exactly like Bender with the exception of having a small triangular metal goatee, a reference to the Star Trek mirror universe. He first appeared in "Lesser of Two Evils" when Fry accidentally runs him over with a 20th century gasoline-fueled car, and gives him "ass-whiplash". He becomes good friends with Bender, inspiring jealousy and suspicion from Fry, especially as Flexo often plays cruel jokes on him such as shooting a jet of poisonous chlorine in Fry's face for no reason. He has a habit of kidding around with everyone, saying things like "You bastard! Nah, just kidding, you're a great man." Fry originally believes that Flexo is an evil twin of Bender and suspects that he will try to steal the crown from the Miss Universe pageant. It turns out that Bender is the one attempting to steal the crown and Flexo is actually trying to stop him, therefore making Bender the evil twin. The confusion surrounding whether Flexo is good or evil is also not helped by his rather sinister laughter and goatee. When the police arrive at the scene, they mistake Flexo for Bender and, at the behest of Bob Barker, arrest him instead, sending him to a South American-Turkish prison. Critics have claimed Flexo's appearance in this episode one of the "Great Moments" in Futurama.[4] Image File history File links Flexo_(futurama). ...

Flexo's serial number is 3370318 and Bender's is 2716057; this amuses them as both their serial numbers are expressible as the sum of two cubes: 3370318 = 1193 + 1193 and 2716057 = 9523 + (-951)3. In a scene deleted from the episode "Bender Gets Made", Bender is shown scratching out his serial code so the Robot Mafia will not find him. However, the code scratched out is Flexo's, not Bender's. According to the DVD commentary, this scene was cut as it was thought to be too confusing and would infuriate fans; the implication seems to be that it was Bender, and not Flexo, who was arrested previously, meaning the Planet Express crew (if not police) had identified the wrong robot. Bender Gets Made (a. ...


In "Bendless Love", Bender briefly dates Flexo's ex-wife Angleyne. Once Bender discovers that Angleene used to be married to Flexo, Bender impersonates Flexo, and, for the second time, Flexo is punished for Bender's behavior when the Robot Mafia drops a large, unbendable metal beam onto Flexo, crushing him. This could have killed him had he been trapped under it for an entire year, but Bender rescues him. Flexo then gets back together with Angleene, and the two have sex "right there on the factory floor" apparently with Bender still in the room. Flexo is the only recurring robot to not appear in the episode "Crimes of the Hot".[citation needed] Bendless Love is the sixth episode in season three of Futurama. ... “Crimes of the Hot” is the eighth episode of the fourth production season of the television show Futurama. ...


Kwanzaa Bot

Kwanzaa Bot first appeared in "A Tale of Two Santas", giving out the traditional Kwanzaa book, titled "What the Hell is Kwanzaa?!", and is more than 647 years old. While his profession doesn't necessitate violence, he is shown to be more than capable of it if the situation requires it. Despite being the head of the holiday, he has no idea what Kwanzaa really means or what it celebrates. A Tale of Two Santas is the third episode in season 3 of Futurama. ... Kwanzaa (or Kwaanza) is a week-long Pan-African festival primarily honoring African-American heritage. ...


Kwanzaa Bot reappeared alongside Chanukah Zombie and Robot Santa, making weapons and riding in a sleigh-like vehicle to fight the alien internet scammers in Bender's Big Score. He is voiced by Coolio and is probably the most peaceful of the three heads of holiday, but that doesn't keep him from making a proximity-triggered musical toy for a war. He seems to be on good terms with both Robot Santa and Chanukah Zombie, the latter of whom he refers to as "C.Z."

Hedonismbot

Hedonismbot

A golden-colored robot frequently seen eating a bowl of grapes on his stomach, who displays the typical characteristics of hedonism and decadence. According to the Futurama DVD commentary, he was built with tax-payers' dollars, and has the curious feature of round pupils, as opposed to the square pupils of all other robot characters. The Hedonismbot makes several cameos, with his first line being "I apologize for nothing" when Bender reveals that he is the most prominent robot in causing global warming. He commissions Fry to write an opera in "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings"--though the latter half of the opera turns out to be terrible, Hedonismbot promised to give it a positive review if he was entertained by the overture, which he was. It is revealed in this episode that he has a servant named Jombi, who is also referenced twice in Bender's Big Score. Image File history File links Hedonism_Bot. ...

Monique

Monique is Calculon's co-star on the show All My Circuits. In the show her character is in love with Calculon, though she is also seen cheating on him with Boxy multiple times. In the episode "I, Roommate" it is revealed that she uses the metric system of measurement. In the episode "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV" Antonio Calculon, Jr. reveals that she has kept something secret from Calculon for two hundred years, but malfunctions before he can get any further.

Reverend Preacherbot

Reverend Preacherbot

A preacher at the Temple of Robotology who always manages to be on hand to conduct weddings and funerals, no matter how far away, and who has aspirations of acting that same role in movies.[5] His first major part, and his first appearance in an episode, is in "Hell is Other Robots" where he tries to get Bender back on the right track. He also presides at Leela's wedding to Alcazar in "A Bicyclops Built for Two", Leela's wedding to Fry in "Time Keeps on Slippin'", and Calculon's wedding to Bender (as Coilette) in "Bend Her", and also briefly speaks at Bender's "funeral" in "A Pharaoh to Remember" and at Leela's wedding to the Robot Devil in "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings". Preacherbot also presides over the funeral of Bender’s uncle Vladimir after he dies in the "The Honking" and is temporarily on screen in "A Tale of Two Santas" when Bender (who is mistaken for Santabot) walks down the hall of a robot prison. He fights violently with Bender in "Crimes of the Hot" when he insults a turtle that Bender had traveled all the way to Holland to save. His speech patterns, accent, and mannerisms are modeled on those of stereotypical African-American Evangelical preachers. In addition to preaching, Reverend Preacherbot does have some knowledge of welding, which he uses to place robotology emblems on the bodies of his congregation members (and occasionally touch up seams).[6]

Roberto

Roberto

A criminally insane robot who appears to be some kind of stab-bot, although he claims: "I'm not crazy, I'm just not user-friendly!" His first line was "Gee, I've seen lines move faster in a sperm bank."[7] His insane acts include targeting the same establishment for robbery three times in a row (apparently the first time was just to "case the joint and rob it a little"), killing other robots to provide a disguise and "practicin' my stabbin'."[7] He is believed to have had a rather traumatic childhood (in "Insane in the Mainframe", he suggests that his mother often welded him to the wall as a form of punishment for "leaking transmission fluid" as he says "No mommy! Please don't weld me to the wall!" when he believes he is in danger which is similar to the pasts of Norman Bates and Francis Dolarhyde). His catchphrase is, "Ha-HAAAA!", yelled in an increasingly high pitch when he attempts to stab someone, or makes a stabbing gesture. This violent nature is enhanced by a body that Daxid X. Cohen and Matt Groening say is based on the shape of a tombstone. Image File history File links Roberto_(futurama). ... Image File history File links Roberto_(futurama). ...

He also appears briefly in "Obsoletely Fabulous". When Bender is in line to be upgraded at Mom's Friendly Robot Company, he sees Roberto in front of him. When Bender asks Roberto what he is doing there, Roberto says, "Parole officer says I gotta upgrade, or he won't give me back my stabbin' knife! Ha-HAAAA!" His last words before the upgrade are, "DEATH TO THE 1-X ROBOTS!" He is upgraded, and after the upgrade says, "I love those magnificent 1-X robots! The 1-X robots are my friends!" When questioned about the unusual change in attitude, he merely responds, "I'm past that... later, blood." Obsoletely Fabulous is the fourteenth episode of the fourth production season of Futurama. ...


He appears momentarily in "Crimes of the Hot". When Bender kicks over Boxy and yells at all the robots to, "Shut up and listen to me, Bender", a pan shot of the crowd shows Roberto stabbing the robot who was shot by robot mobsters "Clamps" and "Joey Mousepad" ("Bender Gets Made"), whose arms are being held by two random robots.

The Robot Devil

The Robot Devil and Fry

The Robot Devil lives in Robot Hell, which is hidden beneath the "Inferno" ride at the amusement park "Reckless Ted's Funland" in New Jersey. His function is to torment robots who have committed various sins, though it seems that this right only applies to those who practice Robotology. He kidnapped and intended to forever torment Bender after he briefly became involved with "Robotology" but then slid back into his former decadent and criminal habits ("Hell Is Other Robots"). Fry and Leela tracked Bender to Robot Hell and in accordance with "The Fairness in Hell Act of 2275", the Robot Devil was obliged to release Bender if Leela could best him in a fiddle contest (a reference to the folk song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia"). She could not outplay him, so she clubbed the Robot Devil with the fiddle, giving the trio a chance to escape.[6] Image File history File links Futurama_ep72. ...

The Robot Devil also played a major role in "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" in which Fry makes a deal with the Devil to improve his holophonor skills. The Robot Devil exchanges hands with Fry and immediately regrets it, since Fry's human hands are vastly inferior to his own mechanical ones: The robot devil claims that they are "stupid fingers". He spends the remainder of the episode scheming and ultimately succeeding in reversing the trade.

The Robot Mafia

A three-member crime syndicate operating out of "Fronty's Meat Market" (Not a front since 2997), who periodically dine at Elzar's, hijack shipments of Zuban cigars, arrange "accidents" for robots who act against them, as well as other unspecified Mafia-related illegal activities. It is speculated in the DVD commentary of "Bender Gets Made" that the Robot Mafia exists because robots are better at organized crime than humans, thus the human mafia was a victim of industrialization. This explains why, though many robots are criminals by choice, the mafia appears to have been built for that purpose. The robot mafia is apparently not very extensive; as in the episode "Bender Gets Made" the Donbot proclaims, "We're the robot mafia... the entire robot mafia".

  • Donbot - The leader of the robot mafia, wears rings and a cape, he is the shortest of the three and is a stout robot.
  • Joey Mousepad - A burly and almost awkwardly inarticulate goonbot wearing a computer-mouse necklace. He is also lacking in intelligence.
  • Clamps - A skinny, twitchy, ultra-psychotic/sarcastic robot who is obsessed not only with the clamps at the ends of his arms, but also with using them. He often uses catchphrases replacing certain words with "clamp(s)"; including once proclaiming "that's gotta clamp" after dropping an unbendable girder on Flexo's head in "Bendless Love".

These three robots claim to make up the entire Robot Mafia. However, in other episodes Bender and Tinny Tim are also shown working for the mafia.


Though their most prominent appearance is in the episode "Bender Gets Made" they also make appearances individually or as a whole in various other episodes. The Donbot can be seen as a member of F.A.R.T. (Fathers Against Rude Television) in "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV"; Donbot and Clamps make cameo appearances in "Crimes of the Hot". Clamps and Joey make an appearance in "A Tale of Two Santas" where the Santa Bot is seeing who's been naughty; he shows the two kicking a human on the ground. He declares them naughty for kicking the human for protection money and declares the human naughty for not paying them the protection money. ‹ The template below (Unreferenced episode) has been proposed for deletion. ... “Crimes of the Hot” is the eighth episode of the fourth production season of the television show Futurama. ...

Though they want their support of the union to remain unknown Joey Mousepad yells "the robot mafia supports you but don't tell no one spread the word". to others outside the union, they do take action to arrange the possible demise of scabs who flash their money around.

Robot Santa

Robot Santa

Robot Santa was created by The Friendly Robot Company in the year 2801 to decide who's been naughty and who's been nice, distributing presents or punishments accordingly. Unfortunately, due to a programming error, his standards were set far too high, and he invariably judges virtually everyone to be naughty — even more unfortunately, he punishes "naughtiness" with death and destruction, leading him to go on destructive rampages across Earth every Christmas. As an example of his judgement, he deems the Mafia naughty for beating someone up for protection money and yet judges the victim equally as naughty for not paying their protection money. He even considers milk and cookies given to him as bribery. There is one known exception to his universally naughty sentence: Dr. Zoidberg, who was given a pogo stick as a gift.

When he goes on a rampage on Earth, he has been known to use Xmas gimmicks to hurt or kill people, such as launching a bike at a young girl (from his unseen "bicycle gun"), throwing a bauble-shaped grenade, and killing a grandfather by choking him to death with a chestnut. He even made the cheap pun "Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile!" and makes Christmas-related threats, such as 'I'm going to shove coal so far up your stocking you'll be coughing up diamonds!" and "I'm going to tear off your skin like wrapping paper and deck the halls with your guts!". He can't be destroyed by use of a logical paradox, unlike most robots, because he was built with "paradox absorbing crumple zones"; though paradoxes do cause his head to explode, another simply pops up from his chest.

Robot Santa resides in his death fortress on Neptune.[9] A Santa sign that says "If you are taller than this, prepare to die!" is at the entrance. One of his arms is held out to his side, just above the height of an average dwarf Neptunian, not counting their hats. When anything walks past a buzz saw emerges from the hand. He uses Neptunians as labor for toy manufacture (although since everyone is judged to be naughty, Santa had closed down the toy factory, planning to turn it into a crack house). The Neptunians are dwarves as Robot Santa does not feed them and their lack of nourishment has stunted their growth. His fortress has robotic attack dogs that bark Christmas carols, laser death beams, spotlights for detection of intruders (with Christmas green and red colors), saws, and monitors used to check everyone in the universe for naughty deeds, especially New Orleans.

He was voiced by John Goodman in "Xmas Story", and John DiMaggio (notably the voice of Bender) in "A Tale of Two Santas" as Goodman was not available.[10] DiMaggio reprised the role in Futurama: Bender's Big Score.


Robot Santa appears in "Bender's Big Score" and calls on his good friends Kwanzaa Bot and Chanukah Zombie to help him fight the war. They all respond rapidly and without reluctance to his request, proving that they can all be just as dangerous as he is. They all refer to themselves as "The Trinity" and "Three Mad Wisemen", suggesting that they have, can, and possibly will team up in this manner again.

Matt Groening is always clear in commentary tracks to emphasize that he is not Santa Claus, but merely a robot who thinks that he's Santa.


Tinny Tim

A homeless child robot who idolizes Bender. In keeping with his name (a reference to Tiny Tim, the crippled child of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol) not only is he endlessly polite in all situations ("Gentle jerkwads..."), one of his arms is in fact a wooden crutch, and much is made of his largely obsolete and broken-down nature, despite the fact that, like most robotic criminals and vagrants, he was clearly designed with the express purpose of being that way, for reasons unknown. A common gag shows Bender kicking him, knocking him down, and breaking his crutch for a leg. He speaks with an English accent from the Victorian era. In one episode he is seen assisting Bender with his work for the Robot Mafia. He operates an oilade stand. Making oilade is what he was programmed for, along with writing reverse letters on the front of the stand in a 'cute' manner. Tinny Tim appears prominently in a number of episodes, particularly Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV and Bender Gets Made. He appeared in the following episodes: Tress MacNeille (born June 20, 1951) is an American voice actress best known for providing various voices on the animated television shows The Simpsons, Futurama, and Animaniacs. ...
