It's funny, though... as against what you were doing with Dinosaurus I was... it was mostly because it conflicted with my plans. It really was the most forward-thinking you'd ever been. It impressed me. Made me think you might even be a good ally. But seeing your potential here, no. Only one of us can rule.
~ Robot vows to take over Earth after betraying Invincible.
You know what this is? It's new. It's a new way of doing things, of fighting evil, of saving the world. And it's messy and imperfect, but it's effective. But most of all... it's new.

I used to fear what I might do in the name of logic... Truth is, I think things are better this way.

Rudolph "Rudy" Conners, better known as Robot, is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Angstrom Levy) of the Image Comics series Invincible, and a major character in its animated adaptation of the same name.

He was first thought to be nothing more than a robot superhero with advanced artificial intelligence who leads the Teen Team. As it turns out, Robot is a machine controlled by the mind of genius Rudy Conners. Rudy was physically unable to live outside of a specially built pod due to outside air burning his lungs, so he created Robot to live vicariously through. Rudy now exists outside his tube as a clone of Rex Splode who, after his death, takes on his name in honor. He now wears a power-suit and is friends with Invincible.

Over the course of the series, he progressively becomes more deranged after many conflicts, leading to him becoming a villain and an extremist. This pushes him to the point of betraying Invincible and his teammates to become the ruler of Earth, killing every hero and villain that opposed his rule. Near the end of the series, he was successful in taking over Earth and ushered a utopia. When Thragg re-initiated his conquest of Earth with his hybrid children, Robot teamed up with the heroes to successfully fight back Thragg and he even helped Mark kill Thragg by pinning him in the core of the sun until Thragg completely disintegrated from the extreme heat. After that he attempted to re-establish his rule on Earth only to be stopped by Mark and his allies. He was imprisoned for eternity in a glass container and served as an advisor for the Immortal, who now ruled the Earth in his place.

He was voiced by Zachary Quinto, who also played Charlie Manx in NOS4A2, Crosby Franklin in Hotel Artemis, Dr. Oliver Thredson in American Horror Story, and Sylar in Heroes. In his new body, he was voiced by Ross Marquand, who also portrayed Bi-Plane in the series, as well as Red Skull in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, and Infinity Ultron in What If...?.

Around this time, Conners was offered a membership to the Guardians of the Globe, which he accepted and told his teammates that he would disbanding the Teen Team. When the Guardians of the Globe were slaughtered by Omni-Man, Conners was appointed as the new leader of the team, and was tasked by Cecil Stedman to recruit superheroes for the group.

After Invincible brutally battled his father, Atom Eve asked Robot to find him since he disappeared, and spoke with Donald Ferguson. Donald revealed that they were keeping Invincible in care, and told Robot that he and the government weren't pleased with the Guardians.
