Robo-Ky is a humanoid weapon developed in a laboratory run by the Post-War Administration Bureau, modeled after Ky Kiske. Although he may be a robot, he is quite the ladies man. The source of his power comes from a powerful beetle within him known as the Hercules Engine.
He loses his pride and joy, his body frame, in the battle with Bedman. Undeterred by this cruel twist of fate, however, he works to earn his repair fees by helping out at Venom’s bakery.
Reluctant to let things stay as they are, however…he has finally saved up enough money to obtain a body for himself (albeit on a rental plan). With his cool new suit and enthusiastic attitude, he barely resembles the original Ky he is modeled after.
And now he can pursue the dream he’s always held close. |
