Robots

"''We'll be sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel and be smashed into who knows what: like a fork, or a vacuum cleaner, or a toaster..." - ''B-3PO

HISTORY

In The Pilot, when Levi meets Basil in Room 309, Basil's robot suitcase is present. Levi also tells Buffy that a robot apocalypse would render her obsolete.

Robots make their first true appearance in Star Preps: The Plaid Awakens. Basil and Kevin are robots in the form of B-3PO and R2-CleanU respectively. They escape the forces of Darth Sithious in an escape pod kiddie pool. They are almost shot down by Samantha, but The Apprentice lets them go, not seeing a reason to fire.

Basil and Kevin reprise their roles as B-3PO and R2-CleanU in Star Preps: Solo and Ready to Rollo when they aid Buffy, Tristan Hanahava, Chip, and Whrraaar in escaping The Polyester Star. After escaping the destruction of the Polyester Star, Darth Sithious hires a bounty hunter robot to bring him The Child, a saber-wielding villain.

In the Season 4 premiere, Blast from The Past, Kevin is yet again a robot, this time malfunctioning in front of Tristan Guamahava and Dug at the diner (though Kate wipes their memories of this using her powers).

TRIVIA


 * Basil's backscratcher from the Pilot Season finale, The Backscratcher, is R2-CleanU's hacking tool.
