did you have a bad experience with a robot? did one hurt you when you were little? did he take your candy?

Lots of robotic figures only have Toughness.

Some of them only have it for one click! (Such as my beloved Ghost Rider 2099.)

But if it's coupled with a very high Defence value or multiple clicks of Toughness, I can see that it kinda makes sense. Robots are made of more resistant materials than normal humans, but if you do strike an important component their functionality is going to suffer.

It takes a lot of damage to totally wreck a car, but not all that much to make it run badly.

Or it could simply be that he's made of ALUMINIUM !


Lol only joking

Actually, it stands for "Wolfram" which is what it's called in pretty much every language in the world other than English

Because robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel. And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free... because they're made of metal, and robots are strong.

WARNING: Persons denying the existence of Robots may be Robots themselves.

I just reread that classic for inspiration!

Technically Booster had some help in taking down Ace - and the Robot was designed to take out the JL - where it wasn't prepared to handle Booster.

Not many things are prepared to handle Booster.

Other than Superman, that is

I totally the idea that I possibly, could, be some robot that you accuse me of being.

I played two with Nightwing and Liberty Belle last night in our sealed tournament. Being able to copy Batman, Teen Titans or JSA makes Aces wicked.

I remember that story from when it first came out. The way the giant robot kept adding new powers to deal with the individual heroes' weaknesses, I thought he was a Sentinel having been bussed into the DC Universe or something.

"Fire. The one element that can terminate Iceman--er, I mean, a Martian."

Tungsten Carbide fists ... TUNGENSTEN CARBIDE FISTS ... bloody fancy stuff

And i guess back on topic, they probably did it to keep him in the "mediocre' category with all the rest of the royal flush gang
