List of Robots Characters - Fender Pinwheeler

Fender Pinwheeler

• Voiced by: Robin Williams

Fender first appears when he takes some pictures of Rodney Copperbottom's first moments in Robot City, whereupon he tries to scam Rodney by saying that he must buy the photo for $50. He later meets Rodney again in Robot City and travels with him on the crosstown express to Bigweld industries, only to be thrown across the city after being hit with a large hammer. The third time they meet is when Fender attempts to steal Rodney's foot. They meet a fourth time in the spare parts shop where Fender is trying to get a part to fix his neck. When they aren't able to acquire one and Fender finds out he's been outmoded, Rodney offers to fix Fender's neck and the two become friends. Throughout his role, Fender is whimsical and sometimes melodramatic. Fender has a "sister" named Piper Pinwheeler, with whom he has a sometimes one-sided sibling rivalry. At the Bigweld Ball later in the film, he meets a female robot named Loretta Geargrinder and has a short fling with her. After he drops her off at her home, he sings a short song and during a moment of carelessness, Fender is captured by a sweeper and taken to the chop shop, where he loses his legs. He puts on a replacement, only to find out his new waist once belonged to a female robot. With no time to find another replacement, he uses the new legs to escape the chop shop and return to his friends to tell them who's behind the master plan. He adopts the image of a female Scottish warrior in the battle at the chop shop.
