ROBOTOID

Real Name: Possibly none.

Identity/Class: Extraterrestrial robot

Occupation: Servant of The Collector

Group Membership: None

Affiliations: The Collector, The Collector's Collection (Jupiterian Sauro-Beast, "Tokka", Venusian Retriever Anemone, others)

Enemies: Goliath (Pym), Hawkeye

Known Relatives: None

Aliases:None

Base of Operations: The Collector's spaceship

First Appearance: Avengers I#51 (April, 1968)

Powers/Abilities:The Robotoid was roughly 25 feet tall, and could fire a stun-ray from its forehead. The stun-ray easily destroyed the metallic devices and apparatus of the starship.

    Its strength was enough to cause The Collector pain; its master claimed that his grasp was unbreakable (at least for Tivan).
    Its strength allowed the giant Robotoid to smash and rend all the machinery which he entered in contact with.

History:
(Avengers I#51 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, the Collector found the Robotoid in a distant galaxy, and "collected" it.

(Avengers I#51) - Trying to recapture two of the Avengers loose on his spaceship, The Collector released The Robotoid. Hawkeye tricked it into firing its stun-ray at some machinery, breaking The Collector's control over it. It then tried to grab The Collector, but he teleported away. As it threw some of the machinery at Goliath, he knocked it back onto The Robotoid, causing it to explode..

 

 


 

Comments: Created by Roy Thomas, John Buscema and George Tuska.

Despite their names, I kinda doubt that the Venusian Retriever Anemone and the Jupiterian Sauro-Beast came from the Venus and Jupiter in the Sol system, but anything's possible.

"Tokka" was never actually named, but he made the exclamation "Tokka borr!" I imagine that's his native language for "Tokka kill!".

CLARIFICATIONS:
The ROBOTOID has no known connection to:

The Jupiterean Sauro-Beast

(Avengers I#51) - The Jupiterean Sauro-Beast was a small creature that The Collector treated as a cat-like pet.

    Despite its name and appearance, the Beast was an insect.

    Despite it being an alien species, it was sensible to the orders that Wasp gave to it.


    It was the beast that freed the Wasp, who freed Goliath and Hawkeye, who forced the Collector to use the Robotoid.

    The spaceship exploded in the sky, apparently destroying all the collection stored there, and the Sauro-Beast, too.

 (Iron Man I#26) - Another Sauro-Beast was on another starship of the Collector, when he returned on Earth to collect the Freak.
    The Collector cared the Beast as well as the previous one.

Comments:

    The Collector noticed that the complaints of the three Avengers in cage upset the Sauro-Beast. It could be a normal reaction of the beast, or, in that moment, Wasp was already trying to communicate with the insect, and the Beast intercepted the communication.

    The second Sauro-Beast was orange/light brown, instead of green.

"Tokka"

"Tokka" was a giant creature that escaped its captivity in the Collector's ship during the Avengers battle with the Robotoid.

It grabbed the Wasp, but was quickly put down by one of Hawkeye's arrows.

 The Venusian Retriever Anemone

The Venusian Retriever Anemone was a shapeless mass with many tentacles.
Its external tissue exuded a powerful adhesive that made extremely difficult, for its preys, to detach from it. Henry Pym estimated that if he tried to shrink, the touch of the adhesive creature could tear him apart.

The Collector used the Anemone to capture several of the Avengers.

Once caught, the Collector shocked the creature, forcing it to let the unconscious heroes fall to the floor.
