- | The '''Visor Robot''' is a futuristic robot that was invented by [[Strong Bad]] while making up stories at the [[Homestarloween Party]]. In [[Strong Sad]]'s version of the story, the robot had a human brain which belonged to an old man who was the father of [[The Sad Kids]]. He is a large, humanoid robot with a prominent groove on his torso and a single antenna on top of his head, in addition to the red visor that gives him his name.

He is a large, humanoid robot with a prominent groove on his torso and a single antenna on top of his head, in addition to the red visor that gives him his name. Inside the robot's head there is a red light bulb that makes the visor light up when talking. He has been known to shoot lasers out of his visor with a loud "VOIP". In his testimonial for [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage]], he claims that the mortgage company helped consolidate his "whole life into this tiny box." |

However, despite the fact that the former is [[Powered by The Cheat]] and the latter is in the main universe, he reverts to the former voice in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]]. |
- | [[ | + | The Visor Robot had never been unambiguously named on the website until [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]]; Strong Bad referred to it as "the robot" in his story, and later [[Senor Cardgage]] called it "Valerie" (a name the robot later denied) in a commercial for [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage]]; it also appeared with the label "[[fhqwhgads]] robot" in the [[Sketchbook 2005#SK-2005-04-28|Weekly Sketchbook]] after its brief appearance in [[Everybody to the Limit]]. In the [[Everything Else, Volume 2|DVD]] commentary for [[Homestarloween Party]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] revealed that although they had never specifically named the robot, they now refer to it by the name Visor Robot because of the longtime usage of the name by this wiki. |
- | + | [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies#Bosses|Stlunko]], a boss from the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]], bears a strong resemblance to the Visor Robot. Therefore, it is possible that Stlunko is the Robot's [[20X6]] counterpart. The Visor Robot also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Maximillian (The Black Hole)|Maximillian]], the evil robot from the movie ''[[IMDb:tt0078869|The Black Hole]]''. | |
