There are two moments in episode 5 that seem to imply that Robert may or may not be bisexual. His teasing exchange with Flambae about jealousy and dinner suggests openness to same‑sex intimacy, but it’s framed as a joke. His innuendo with Invisigal about “blowing” people doubles as a sexual pun, reinforcing the possibility of attraction across genders. Robert's SDN Employee ID number is 5318008.

At the beginning of Episode 1, Robert is a cynical, sardonic, world-wise, apathetic, dry, world-weary, and brutally honest man with a sarcastic sense of humor. Depending on the player's choice, Robert can also be prone to violence when pushed. Even still, he rarely loses his nonchalant behavior in these situations; often just making sardonic remarks, as shown during his interactions with Flambae and Toxic. Overall, Robert is a heroic and selfless man who has been efficiently doing hero's work for years despite lacking superpowers and being scorned by others for it. Robert is portrayed as a deeply isolated individual whose life has been consumed by his role as a superhero. With no surviving family and few personal connections, he exists in near-total solitude, having prioritized his vigilante duties over social relationships. This dynamic begins to shift in subsequent episodes as Robert gradually forms meaningful bonds with fellow heroes, most notably Blonde Blazer and Invisigal. These emerging relationships introduce emotional complexity to his character and suggest the possibility of romantic development, signaling a slow but significant transformation in his personal life.

Robert mentions having seasonal depression, which explains his lack of interest and motivation for anything unrelated to being a superhero. Often expressing signs of being passively suicidal.

Powers Mecha Man Armor Capabilities: Robert Robertson doesn't possess any innate powers; instead, he uses the mecha armor, which grants him super strength, durability, endurance, and a variety of weapons and projectiles. Superhuman Strength: Mecha Man's strength while inside the suit is greatly amplified. He can easily fight against more than 3 superpowered villains and manage to make Toxic heavily injured from a single stomp/punt. Superhuman Durability: Mecha Man can withstand immense conditions, including superhuman blows, acid-based attacks, falling from very high altitude, bullets, and electric-based attacks. Enhanced Speed: Mecha Man moves faster than an average human through the use of the jetpack. He easily catches up to Toxic while he was sent flying after getting hit. Flight: Mecha Man is capable of flying with the use of the jetpacks. Weapon Summoning: Mecha Man can summon many weapons from his armor. This includes plasma weapons, projectiles, and is not limited to a variety of different explosives. Energy Projection: Mecha Man can channel and project energy with his armor. Energy Beam Emission: Mecha Man can project a beam of energy at specific targets, enough to damage Shroud's spider armor. Barrier Generation: Mecha Man can generate an energy barrier around himself, which grants protection and deflects firearms shooting at it for a limited time

Master Hacker: Robert Robertson has shown skills in hijacking and fixing a broken bidet, and being able to disable the sensors of an art museum, and subsequently fixing it. Additionally, he can easily hack into CCTVs and bypass the security system. Master Tactician: Robert Robertson is a brilliant tactician and leader, proven when he can easily lead Z Team and fully gain their trust. Because of this, the team's shift turned out to be successful thanks to Robert's leadership. Expert Engineer: Robert Robertson has enough technical knowledge to repair his own suit if it's not destroyed. Expert Combatant: Despite only being a regular human underneath his suit, Robert is a very skilled hand-to-hand combatant. He is able to take on several goons at once and can even go toe-to-toe with supervillains. Pain Resistance: Robert Robertson is shown to have a superior pain tolerance compared to an average person, shrugging off dislocated limbs and broken bones with ease.

Robert is a slim, but toned, man, likely in his early thirties,[note 3] with a somewhat rugged appearance, short auburn hair, brown eyes, peach skin, and freckles across his face. Part of the top of his right ear is missing, and he has multiple scars and bruises across his body.

His work uniform consists of a light blue button down shirt with the SDN logo above the pocket on his left chest, dark gray slacks, and brown shoes. He tends to roll up his sleeves and leave his shirt partially untucked.

As a Mecha Man, he wears reinforced silver armor over a bluish-black suit that covers his arms and parts of his body, along with a matching helmet accented by yellow details

While sitting atop a billboard overlooking the Hollywood sign, Blonde Blazer offers him a job to get his life back on track after Robert was recommended by an old family friend and hero called Track Star. This leads to Robert joining the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN) as a dispatcher for "Z-Team", a team consisting of the Phoenix Program participants: ex-supervillains who signed on to help out around the city.

On his first day, Blazer gives Robert a tour of the building and introduces some of his co-workers, notably Chase, also known as Track Star, who'd once been the been a superhero with the Brave Brigade and an old friend of Robert's father, who by virtue of being the youngest member of the team ended up also being Robert's babysitter a lot. Chase was initially unrecognizable to Robert due to his power inadvertently aging him fifty times faster than a normal human every time he used it.

As Robert introduces himself to his misfit team, he is quickly mocked by all the members for his name, who soon reveal that most dispatchers for their team don't last more than a few days at most.

Outside of normal hero work, Robert is also on the hunt for the villain Shroud, a former member of the Brave Brigade who is responsible for his father's death. He is able to track him down and faces off against him in a fortified warehouse. Outnumbered and outgunned, he barely manages to escape, albeit with a bomb attached to the back of his suit that he is unable to remove in time after noticing it. It goes off, causing his suit to fall out of the sky. While he managed to survive the ordeal with just a broken arm, he fell into a coma for months, and his father's suit was destroyed in the fight. Having no other way to recreate one, he is unsure about his future as a hero. Depending on your in-game selection, his decision about his hero career can go either way, based on what you would like to say to the reporters.

Backstory Robert's grandfather was the original Mecha Man (Mecha Man Prime) and the person who made the original mech suit. Then, after him, it was Robert's father, more widely known as 'Astral'. However, after his father's death, Robert Robertson III inherited the suit and became the new Mecha Man, a superhero despite his lack of real superpowers. He spent his entire inheritance (notably into the millions) towards keeping the Mech suit functional. At some point during his hero career, he has a run-in with Flambae. While not particularly memorable for Robert until Episode 5, this altercation led to the amputation of Flambae's ring and pinky fingers by Robert's plasma blade; hence Flambae's hatred towards Robert in Episode 1.
