In the year 2222, the big city of Asimov is home to a bunch of characters, many of which are robotic! Robodroids, in fact! Created by @rocketwithapocket.bsky.social #BionicBlockAsimov

There are a few slight adjustments to the character designs at their core, along with some general refinements to the line art and coloring, but the biggest change is how the Robodroids are gonna be drawn from here on out, with fully articulated limbs and more noticable mechanical/metallic features, such as their necks and small holes for certain joints. We're also doing away with sensors, the little antenna devices near their ears, since they were just a hassle to draw and keep consistent.

Hope you all look forward to what we have coming!

A human robot, Makoto, with his friend, a fox robot, Tariq.

A robot rabbit named Jayla, with rainbow LED roller blades embedded in her feet, jets forward while two other robots, April and Kimberly, also with wheels embedded in their feet, attempt to catch up, with April struggling to maintain balance and Kimberly holding her tight while blushing.

Out of the three Anamali siblings, Athena doesn't get out as much as her sister and brother does, and never really had the desire to. As such, she's retained a lot more of her original programming than them, and is much less expressive and emotive. She's a very robot-y robot to put it simply. A lot of things are more difficult for her, so when she doesn't feel strongly about something or other, she'll often just keep quiet and not say much, especially around strangers. Her primary assignment at the Museum of Wonders is teaching about environmentalism. Stuff like reuse/reduce/recycle and all that, so naturally she can be rather opinionated about some things, primarily how other people act and how their choices affect those around them. She often gets into scuffles with her siblings about their crazy antics, being both annoyed at their fascination for trouble and worried for their well-being. Believe it or not, she's probably closer to Kimberly than Tariq is. She confides in Kimberly when she needs comfort or someone to be around, and just wants her to stick to the right path. It's hard not to see her as a stick in the mud, but she just wants everyone to be safe in the end.

Kimberly, a robotic sheep, now with bright red eyes and a glowing red static mouth and two blasters on each of her wrists. She says "OFFENDING THREAT DETECTED. MUST NEUTRALIZE."

Four robotic anthropomorphic animals from left to right; Nolan, a cow; Riley, a raccoon; Roger, a tiger; and April, a penguin.

Three characters; Milo, a robotic yellow non-specific sea monster; Lloyd, a toucan; and Brooke, a floating black-metal robot with glowing green slime within her chasis.

For a teenage robot, Izzy has much more power and strength than you'd expect. She can lift things up to four times her weight (including her girlfriend) and can win most brawls she finds herself in very easily, which she ends up in... quite a lot. She doesn't have the best grasp of her anger levels, resulting in a temper that raises very quickly and gets very violent, needing her friends to ground her and calm her down when it gets to that point. When she is in a good mood, she's very energetic and friendly, with a big sense of humor that she can almost make any situation funny, even if it's at the expense of others when her temper raises a bit. Originally built as a sports training robot, she has a ton of athletic skills and can pick up almost any sport with ease, down to the smallest intricate mechanics of the game. Once she was adopted by the Lopez family, she gained more of her own sense of self and learned a bunch of stuff, including how to speak fluent Brazilian Portugese, which she loves using around her friends that DON'T speak it.

In comparison to Kimberly, Tariq is much more of a loose cannon. He can often come across as snarky and crass, liking to fool around and get into his own special kind of trouble, whatever makes the day be more fun and not one big slog for him. He's the one to get Kimberly and the others into crazy schemes that usually start with an idea he doesn't think through before running head first into whatever it may be. Even with all that said, he never really means ill intent or harm for anyone and just wants to make his life more interesting and have some fun with everyone. He also seems to have a natural indifference to authority and being told what to do when he isn' t at the Museum of Wonders doing his programmed assignments. As such, he tends to idolize some of their older friends the kids tend to hang out wiht around Orbit Towers, especially Lloyd and Brooklyn, since in his perspective, their more... unorthodox and reckless ways of having a good time appeal to him more. Even then, at the end of the day he still keeps the heart of gold that all of the droids built by Wonder have in their programming, he just has his own unique way of expressing it.

Two human androids, a couple. The one on the left, Izzy, is holding the one on the right, Rei, as she is malfunctioning via affectionate fluster. The words "EMOTIVE REACTION OVERFLOW" are repeated behind her, implying she's stuck in a loop saying that phrase over and over.
