Atomic Robo / Comicbook	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Atomic Robo (written by Brian Clevinger, of 8-Bit Theater and Nuklear Age fame; and illustrated by Scott Wegener) is a comic about, well, Atomic Robo, a robot built by Nikola Tesla in the 1920s. Given citizenship by the US government in exchange for missions against Nazis and other similar scumbags, he later started Tesladyne, a high tech organization devoted to fighting really weird evil and advancing human knowledge. Along with his elite team of Action Scientists, he travels the world (and further) fighting things on the fringes of human knowledge.In addition to the main series, there's a spinoff called Real Science Adventures (still written by Brian but drawn by guest artists), which features side characters in non-Robo-related stories. These characters include the Sparrow, a lineage of British spies; the Centurions of Science, an adventuring group that Tesla was a part of before building Robo; and the Flying She-Devils, an all-female crew that fights sky pirates post-WWII.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })There's also a Tabletop RPG spinoff, which uses the FATE system.The series was originally published by Red Five Comics. When the contract expired, the series shifted to a free webcomic format starting with Volume 10 in 2015. Later in the year, IDW Publishing picked up the license for the physical print versions. Real Science Adventures also shifted to a web format in 2016, but only released one new volume and stopped updating soon after; the following volume a couple years later returned to being print-exclusive.

Tesla immediately notices that Robo's still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and cuts through Robo's stammered denials to announce that "any fool could see what you've done": spent the night cleaning the garage to avoid doing his homework. A relieved Robo agrees that this is exactly what he was doing.

Atomic Robo / Comicbook / int_13eea985	comment	Arbitrary Skepticism: Robo has a bad habit of this. He calls the Odic Force a debunked source of energy, despite evidence to the contrary literally staring him in the face. Robo regularly dismisses Dr. Dinosaur's ramblings as worthless pseudoscience, even when he should know by now that beneath the rampant insanity his creations have worked (whether they can be controlled is a different story...) every time. He also flat-out states that time travel is impossible, even to three of his past selves at a place outside time, at which point it's just a matter of semantics. And then Dr. Dinosaur's "time bomb" blows him into the 19th century.

There's also Dr. Dinosaur (a super-stupid dinosaur scientist opposing a super-intelligent robot scientist) and Undead Edison (who was the arch enemy of Robo's father). Basically, Helsingard is Robo's most frequent and dangerous enemy (Robo calls him "an unparalleled genius"), Dr. Dinosaur is his most humiliating (since he is stupid and yet manages to continuously outwit Robo), and Edison is Robo's oldest and most personal (Robo even calls him "[his] greatest enemy"). Another major contender is Majestic 12, an anti-Robo conspiracy.

Instead, it's a single event being witnessed from multiple time-perspectives, and it's only possible because it involves physics from outside our universe. There's another one, as of Knights of the Golden Circle: Robo is thrown back to 1870 by Dr. Dinosaur's "time bomb," where he either accidentally inspires the legend of or becomes known as the armored gunslinger "Ironhide." (Who Robo will proceed to read stories about as a "kid" in the 1920s.) Robo finally runs out of power in 1884 and is destroyed in the crash of the Basilisk. Marshal Reeves salvages his head and mails it to a young Nikola Tesla, who mislays the package; it's subsequently put into deep storage at Tesladyne for the next hundred years, where it's finally recovered by Lang and Bernard. If Robo had ever gone through all of his father's possessions, it would have included a box that contained his own severed head.

Atomic Robo / Comicbook / int_62cae28a	comment	There's another one, as of Knights of the Golden Circle: Robo is thrown back to 1870 by Dr. Dinosaur's "time bomb," where he either accidentally inspires the legend of or becomes known as the armored gunslinger "Ironhide." (Who Robo will proceed to read stories about as a "kid" in the 1920s.) Robo finally runs out of power in 1884 and is destroyed in the crash of the Basilisk. Marshal Reeves salvages his head and mails it to a young Nikola Tesla, who mislays the package; it's subsequently put into deep storage at Tesladyne for the next hundred years, where it's finally recovered by Lang and Bernard. If Robo had ever gone through all of his father's possessions, it would have included a box that contained his own severed head.

Played with at one point: Otto Skorzeny shoots Robo with his gun at one point, and it seems like it had no effect. Only then do we notice that Robo is, in fact, disabled, by virtue of a special bullet. It doesn't stop there, however, since Skorzeny also planned to drop a trainload of heavy ordnance on top of him, for good measure.

Throughout Volume 2 Robo, fights Nazi mecha (Laufpanzers), Nazi supersoldiers, and various weird science like lightning guns and a railgun emplacement on Nazi-held Guernsey which turns out to be a "weather cannon". Robo lampshades just how dumb that sounds. Equally lampshaded is though there's plenty of Real Life evidence of Nazi "superweapons" that any other government could have used to assert global power, Hitler was so stupid that he couldn't decide which one to support to fruition, leaving him with a bunch of half-completed projects and a tiny number of prototypes the victors would spend the next fifty years fighting over.

In The Ghost of Station X, it turns out that ALAN was deliberately driving this arms race to further his own goals. The Ghost of Station X itself is packed with it: Lewis' comment about how we're lucky Robo is morally upright, later contrasted with ALAN, who is most certainly not. One of Martin and Lewis' many tangent theories when investigating the disappearing of a whole building is that it's A Glitch in the Matrix, because they figure future technology will either be unsustainable or so advanced we're probably already living in their simulations ("Mad Max now or The Sims later."). ALAN predicted the former, which is why he plans to leave Earth on an Orion starship to look for more resources, destroying the Earth in the process.

Over the years, Robo has replaced all of his chassis save his brain and atomic heart as parts inevitably wore out, better versions and new materials were developed, and new technologies were invented. He even lost his atomic heart at the end of Knights of the Golden Circle, and had to replace it with an ALAN-constructed duplicate in The Ring of Fire. As a result, he is really, really tough. So far, the only things that brought him close to death have been a collision with an orbiting satellite followed by re-entry (Ghost of Station X), and a crashing zeppelin packed with highly explosive Green Rocks (Knights of the Golden Circle). Despite his re-builds he keeps forgetting to modify his fingers to work with touchscreens.

Bernard can be seen hiding from Jenkins in the cafeteria background in 3.5, which canonically takes place about a year after the "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" B-story. In Flying She-Devils of the Pacific, it's mentioned that Robo has flown with the Flying Tigers during WWII (his flight jacket even has the China-Burma-India Theater patch on the left shoulder), which was shown way back in the second issue. He even wears the panda bear patch of 2nd Squadron AVG. And much later, The Temple of Od shows us how Robo met General Claire Chenault, the Tigers' founder, in 1939. The Majestic 12 attack force in Volume 8 includes the robot from the "Project SAINT" Free Comic Book Day story.

Atomic Robo / Comicbook / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: One Real Science Adventures story has Robo walk into a comic shop in the 90's and be turned off by all the Dark Age trends, reflecting the creators' criticism of the comics industry at large. The website elaborates by including a list of things that the creators promise Atomic Robo won't be, unlike the Big Two publishers: "No angst, no cheesecake, no reboots, no filler"; and before transitioning to a webcomic format, "No delays." (This last one has since been replaced by the promise that "The Main Robot Punches A Different Robot (Or Maybe A Monster)".) And a previous version of the elaboration on "no reboots" hits a more specific nerve: "[Fitting an idea into Robo's existing history or abandoning it if it can't] is a much better solution than making a deal that the character would never make with the devil he’d never deal with to change 'one' thing that alters the entire universe in ways that no one in charge seems to fully comprehend or address.

Atomic Robo / Comicbook / int_e851b5	comment	The Plan: The Big Bad of Volume 6 lives on this trope. ALAN's continued existence is due to its being hidden for 50+ years behind many layers of bureaucracy and manipulation going up to he highest levels of both the British and US governments (including Majestic 12). Not only was it able to successfully hide itself, but it also managed to build an Orion-class nuclear pulse starship in perfect secrecy on a Japanese island. Extra points for having done much of this via telephone and telegraph before the existence of the Internet. Exempli gratia: moving a house, intact, out of Bletchley Park, England, to Japan, via truck, boat and the sixth-ever-built Airbus Beluga (of which there are only 5), with no paper trail.

Atomic Robo / Comicbook / int_ea39d156	comment	Who Wants to Live Forever?: The second issue implies that Robo has a bittersweet outlook on his immortality. He doesn't (openly) angst about it, though; in a televised interview, he coyly alludes to the problem by saying that he's annoyed that nobody understands his Jack Benny impersonation anymore. This is after privately reminiscing about a dear WWII-era friend who just died of old age. Thomas Edison's plan in 1931 was to use New York as an antenna for his Odic Capacitor, and concentrate enough Life Energy into himself to become immortal. When the machine exploded, his consciousness got scattered across the Od, only pulling itself back together as a ghostly manifestation in 1999. When he finds that Robo's analysis inadvertently restored his corporeality (in part), he's not happy about it. He's later seen nostalgically returning to his historical estate, now a museum.
