Name: Pyrobot

Debut: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

“Did someone say pie robot?” I ask, floating into the room, led by my nose. I love pie, you see. I love robots, too! I love these two things in different ways, though, since I only like to EAT one of the two, but I won’t tell you which, because I have already told you too much. It is not wise to share personal information with strangers on the internet!

Unfortunately, there is not really a pie robot here, but I cannot fault Pyrobot based on what it isn’t trying to be. It is trying to be a funny robot! And succeeding! I am glad there can be funny robots in games about gorillas. There is always room for robots, and you don’t even need to explain it. Pyrobot sure isn’t ever explained!

The concept art gives us a better view of Pyrobot’s design, and I love it! Everything about it! I love love love pressure gauges as eyes, I love the metal things that stick out to look like goofy teeth, I love it all! And I really love the brushy on the bottom, it is such a great thing for a robot to have! Even if this isn’t a cleaning robot, you might as well let it do some effortless cleaning as it moves about.

Pyrobot’s main purpose is to shoot fire from its weird litle fingers, and HEY I am just realizing! This is a reverse fire hydrant! That is so cool!!! Modern Donkey Kong enemies deserve more respect sometimes! Anyway, I was going to say that Pyrobot is probably designed for welding, but maybe it can also be used in case of a Water Emergency, to evaporate water with its fire in case anything gets too moist.

There is also a newer, yellower version of the Pyrobot! This one is a little less distinct in design, but is no less cool, as its head is now a glass dome, with glowing lights on the end of coils that look like eyestalks! You can never go wrong with eyestalks! Just look at the snails that arrived on land and thought, “you know what, our eyes should be on stalks now”!

I'm real bored of running Mann Co. right now, and I need some entertainment.
