Personality[]
Frobo was a robot, he doesn't appear to be very smart/intelligent when compared to Earth's 21st century counterparts, as he kept bumping into trees while walking. But in “Friend or Frobo” he is very protective of Polly, willing to threaten Wartwood’s citizens that cause a minor inconvenience towards her and sacrificing himself to save her when Andrias tried to stomp her. And overall he has a kind demeanor as it is theorized Hop Pop’s road rules book might’ve changed his programming.
