Atropos XR was a creation of the ultimate supercomputer Mother Brain and Robo's one true "love". Pink and slightly shorter than Robo, Atropos XR was not put out of commission like Robo, but was rather always put on duty by the giant supercomputer. In the Origin of Machines Sidequest, Atropos XR and the Mother Brain were responsible for informing Robo of his previous quest to study and eliminate humanity. However, these tyrannical thoughts were merely the results of Mother Brain's going out of control and the subsequent corruption of Atropos XR's mind (circuits?). In fact, after Robo defeated Atropos XR in single combat, Atropos XR regained her senses and handed Robo a certain Ribbon that would boost Robo's Speed and Magical Defense.

In the Ideal Timeline, Atropos XR is quite content with Robo.

Name Origin

Greek and Roman

In Greek mythology, Atropos was one of the three Moirae, also known as the Fates. The Fates were female deities who, rather than determine fate, supervised it. Atropos was the Fate who cut the thread/web of life. She was known as the "Inflexible" or the "Inevitable" Fate, and ended many a mortal's life with her infamous "abhorred shears", all at her own whim. Her "co-Fates" were Clotho the Spinner, who spun the thread of life, and Lachesis the Apportioner, who measured the length of each thread. It is unclear whether the Fates had parents or not, but some think they were the daughters of Zeus, the ruler of the Greek pantheon, and Themis, the goddess of order. However, this is highly debatable.

It is not clear whether or not Zeus was subject to the Fates as all mortals were, or if he was totally immune to their power.

The Romans called the Fates the Parcae, or Tria Fata (made up of the goddesses Nona, Decuma, and Morta).
