This article is about Captain Astro, the character. If you were looking for the games, see Astro Bot (game).
Astro Bot is the Captain of the Bots in the Astro Bot Series, He has a screen with blue eyes on his face, he has a blue cape & wings on his back, and has a nice chrome, white and blue color range.
Appearance[]
Astro Bot has a blue cape that's rectangular-shaped. His arms and legs are also partially blue and consist shiny silver parts. As a face, he has a screen displaying in blue with his eyes showing various expressions, (mostly, in Playroom VR, Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Astro’s Playroom, he isn’t capable of setting most of them on.) On the back, along with the blue cape, he has a backpack-looking part, containing a little fan (helping him swim with no problem). In Astro Bot, his appearance can be changed using the Changing Room. There, he has different Outfits that make him look like various characters.
Abilities[]
Astro can bring out very strong punches, which were always capable of destroying Bad Bots (basically, the enemies of the main game and both of its sequels) as well as performing a spin that could knock multiple enemies out of the way. The insides of his arms comprise hidden ziplines, which release whenever Astro falls off a tight rope, (preventing him from falling all the way down). His antenna has an umbrella function which automatically works when it rains. He can also release a hang glider in order to fly, (though, he isn't very skilled at doing that, but no worries! He's trying his best to get the hang of it.) His feet are able to emit laser beams that not only grand a certain amount of loftiness, but can also demolish enemies (which is also known as Beam Gliding.) Astro is vastly strong - he has an ability of lifting very heavy items up (For example: in Astro Bot Rescue Mission, as when facing Octopus, he is able to lift a giant rock in order to throw it at the giant enemy.) In Astro's Playroom, he's skilled at using Playroom suits and firearms - he's good at jumping in the frog suit in Cooling Springs, rolling in the Ball Suit in Memory Meadow, climbing in the Monkey Suit in GPU Jungle, as well as being an expert at shooting with the Ball Gun gadget and jetpack suit in SSD Speedway and the Bow & Arrow in GPU Jungle.
Appearances in other games and media[]
- Astro appears in the game Fall Guys as an unlockable skin, but was free for PlayStation Plus members from June 7, 2023, up until September 7, 2023.
- He's also shown briefly in the PlayStation Studios logo intro, at the start of both the Uncharted Movie and the Gran Turismo film.
- Astro appears as a free DLC skin for Sackboy in Sackboy: A Big Adventure. There is also an emote that comes with the skin that references when Astro uses his feet laser beams.
Trivia[]
- If Astro is punctured, for example if he touches a Jab-Jab when its spikes are out or gets hit by a Gloopy's slime ball, (Not in Astro's Playroom or Astro Bot Rescue Mission), he will inflate and blow up, which may be a reference to the Rayman series.
- If anything very hot touches him, he will burn out. He either turns to ash and fades away, or turns to lava and fades away.
- During levels with rain, mainly Memory Meadow in Astro's Playroom, Astro's head will have an umbrella on top, a nice little visual change.
- According to the PlayStation Top Trumps card game, Astro (and by extension, the other bots) are only 0.9' or 30 cm tall.[2]
- His voice changed between Astro Bot and previous games.
