ONA
Description
Brando is one of the seven most advanced robots in the world, recognized as a member of the elite group that served in the international peacekeeping force during the 39th Central Asian Conflict. On the front lines of that war, he fought alongside his close friends Hercules and Mont Blanc, helping to defeat the Persian army's robot forces. Following his military service, Brando relocated to Istanbul in the Euro Federation, where he reinvented himself as a professional robot wrestler. Donning a specialized Pankration Suit for competition, he became an undefeated champion and a legendary figure in the ESKKKR tournament.
In terms of appearance, Brando possesses multiple bodies for different functions. His everyday form resembles a European male in his thirties or forties, with a somewhat robust and slightly chubby build. When engaging in combat, whether for sport or military purposes, his electronic brain and power core are transferred into a more powerful fighting suit, which gives him a more imposing and formidable presence.
Brando's personality is defined by a cheerful and positive outlook, as well as a strong sense of devotion to his family. He lives a quiet, peaceful life with his robot wife and their five adopted children. Central to his identity is his belief that luck is an essential component of victory, a philosophy that leads him to famously call himself a "lucky man". He maintains that even for a highly advanced robot, fortune plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of any battle.
His primary motivation throughout the story is driven by friendship and loyalty. After his close friend Mont Blanc is murdered by the mysterious and powerful robot PLUTO, Brando decides to seek vengeance. Driven by a sense of duty and care for his fallen comrade, he chooses to confront PLUTO directly, despite the immense danger it presents. In his final moments, as he faces defeat on the coast of the Black Sea, his thoughts are not of the battle or his own survival, but overwhelmingly of his wife and children. He attempts to transmit vital data about PLUTO to other robots like Atom, but his mind is overtaken by tender and sorrowful memories of his family before he succumbs.
Brando's key relationships form the core of his character. His bond with Mont Blanc is particularly strong, and the news of his friend's death is what compels him to leave his peaceful life and take up arms again. He also shares a deep camaraderie with Hercules, another elite robot from the war who becomes his rival in the wrestling circuit. Above all, his relationship with his family is paramount; his wife and children represent the happiness and normalcy he values above his own existence. The scale and media coverage of his funeral serve as a testament to the respect he earned from both human and robot societies.
Regarding his abilities, Brando is an extraordinarily powerful and skilled combatant, proficient in hand-to-hand combat and equipped with advanced military training. His unique capability lies in transferring his consciousness and core systems between three distinct bodies: his standard humanoid form, his Pankration Suit for wrestling, and a heavy-duty Combat Suit from his military days. In his original incarnation from the classic "The Greatest Robot on Earth" storyline, he possesses the ability to transform into a high-velocity sphere to charge at his opponents. In his battle against PLUTO, which takes place partly underwater, he distinguishes himself by being one of the very few robots, aside from Atom, capable of inflicting a serious and damaging wound on the formidable antagonist before being destroyed.
