There is a question that has been plaguing me for months. In Three Ford Problem, are they ever going to use Albert (the robot) for his initial purpose (and the basis of his far less intimidating name: "Project KFPA-1")?
Yay, 3fp question!
And about one of my favourites OCs (it is OC or OR?)!
I'm going to rant!
So, at this point I won't be remembering my initial plans anymore and how they evolved, but in the end the Beautiful "Kick Filbrick Pines Ass" Bot got his own narrative arc. Let me talk at length about why.
Initially he's but a gag, both a hint of Fiddleford's way of dealing with a threat and also a way to start Ford's own little arc of anger at Filbrick.
Then he becomes a background device, because slowly - slowly I was building the final battle and preparations to it. And this is where Ford's arc gets a new step - he decides he needs to be the one to confront Filbrick. And that means also that since that moment KFPA-1 loses his purpose entirely. That's why later I went with Ford getting his public speach - to him deal a moral blow by himself. That's Ford's own revenge, so to speak.
But back to the KFPA-1. By Ford's deciding to stop with their punching plan, KFPA-1 is left incomplete. There was a reason for it and for why there was a plot of Stan and Fidds working together on Bird bot and also why the ties were brought in.
Stan finishes the KFPA-1 and gives it a new name and a new purpose.
By this point Albert is a collective creation. He's initially built by Fidds, he's helped to bring to almost completion by Ford, he's finished by Stan. He has elements of Tie invented by Ford (and remade by Stan). He called Albert because Ford invented a brother character that Stan decided to keep and give name.
And because of all that - this new purpose is a reflection of it.
Because Albert is not the means for revenge anymore as KFPA-1 was. Albert is a Trump Card for the Saving and Bringing Back the loved ones.
And basically - No. Albert won't ever be punching Filbrick. Because Albert is more than KFPA-1.
(and if anyone will be punching Filbrick, it's gonna be Ford)
