Pack Man 

DHN.007 - パックマン “Knock it off! Your job would be harder without me!!”

Good Point - Portable Bad Point - Mouth Off Like - Sauna Dislike - Mockery

4’ (121.92 cm)

A non-combat robot built for construction and repair by Dr. Harp. He is based on the Argentine horned frog (Ceratophrys ornata). He clearly pulls much of his design from Toad Man, but unlike the two serpentine Harp Numbers, was created with permission from Dr. Cossack (whom Dr. Harp apprenticed under for some time).

Pack Man is the smallest of the construction bots from his line, but no less important. His cavernous maw contains a rudimentary spatial-manipulation system, reverse engineered from studying Saturn. While he lacks the ability to create a gravitational pull, and also lacks the ability to teleport objects, it does allow him to store incredible amounts of materials and tools for his linemates, like a bag of holding on legs.

He spends a lot of time being carried around by his sisters, hence his name. He's no pushover, though, since he can store more than just tools and materials in that mouth... like bombs. (Clamp Mine)

He is also incredibly well-armored, perhaps the most so in his line, because damage to the spatial manipulation system would be disastrous, especially when fully loaded with material. Most of the actual equipment is in his backpack unit, in compartmentalized cartridges that can be individually ejected and swapped if need be.

Despite his diminutive stature, Pack Man is somewhat unruly, loud, and opinionated. He’s far more likely to complain and gossip than the others. However, he still tends to keep it together around Heavy Woman, with whom he works the most frequently, and she tolerates his outbursts knowing that, at the end of the day, he’s all mouth. She’s more likely to let him complain and simply listen, without responding, which he appreciates. As a result, he almost never complains about her, either to her face, or to others.

The others, Gutter in particular, are less kind about it, often telling him that his loudness is just compensating for his shortness, which in turn only makes him more irritated with them. Heavy is very likely to put her foot down on this behavior to stop it.

Like his sisters, Pack Man’s name is a pun, but is on the simple side like Heavy’s; Ceratophrys ornata frogs are often endearingly called “Pacman frogs” in the herpetoculture hobby. This does cause a slight inter-company infringement situation, but is mostly just meant to be funny.
