Bob is a character in Ratchet & Clank, with a cameo in Up Your Arsenal. He is a robotics engineer and inventor who owns a roboshack in Jowai Resort on Pokitaru, where he provided Clank with the Thruster-Pack. He is also the elder brother of Al. Bob is a rather skinny, yellowish humanoid with pointy ears and short brown hair, who wears orange shoes, greenish pants, and a black shirt with a white lab coat over it. Much like Al, he wears green glasses with a telescope attached to one side. Bob claims to have taught Al much of what he knows.[1]

Bob's encounter with Ratchet and Clank.

Bob's roboshack on Pokitaru.

While helping the Resort Owner, Ratchet and Clank visited Bob in his shop, as recommended by the Resort Owner, for they needed a way past a lock outside the jet fighter garage. When they approached him, Bob recognized Al's work on Clank and offered the Thruster-Pack as an upgrade for 2,000 bolts, which would allow them to open the lock. Ratchet and Clank then purchased the Thruster-Pack and opened the lock to the fighter garage.

Bob later appeared for the premiere of the Secret Agent Clank movie.

Behind the scenes[]

Bob is voiced by David Kaye, the voice of Clank, as well as the voice of Sam.

In the 2016 re-imagined game, Bob no longer appears on Pokitaru, and his roboshack is replaced with a standard, inaccessible hut. Instead, Ratchet and Clank meet Al in roughly the same location, being the Pokitaru Tiki Lounge and Karaoke Bar (which replaces the garage). Al is present on the planet for a comic book convention, and instead, he is the one who provides Clank with the Thruster-Pack.
