Robo-Nefarious is a robotic clone of Dr. Nefarious created by Klunk. It is one of the final bosses of Secret Agent Clank, fought during "All The Marbles".
History[]
Klunk created Robo-Nefarious on Mariana[1] in order to have a suit modeled after his creator. He found ordering it around therapeutic.[2] Robo-Nefarious was stored with Klunk's other suits in Klunk's villainous lair in his underwater base.
During "All The Marbles", when Clank confronted Klunk on Hydrano to stop his plan, the evil copy deployed Robo-Nefarious when the Kingpin proved to be on the losing end of a bout with Clank, rising from a cylindrical glass tube case. Robo-Nefarious proceeded to battle Clank under Klunk's command before being subbed in for Robo-Ratchet. Following this, Klunk alternated between the three robot suits repeatedly in conjunction with his own combat arts as he fought Clank. Eventually, Clank put all three suits out of commission and defeated Klunk.
Characteristics[]
Robo-Nefarious was full of the same faulty parts as his template and was built to dole out tough love. Unlike the actual Nefarious, the robotic clone required usage of its wings in order to fly. It seemingly did not have the original's freezing glitch, as it appeared that no Robo-Lawrence was present on Klunk's staff to assist.[1]
Combat[]
Robo-Nefarious was built to include some of the old weaponry Dr. Nefarious himself had used.[1] While hovering around the arena with its wings, Robo-Nefarious utilized two attacks against Clank. It threw energy balls that formed triangular pads on the floor, which would make electrical spaces Clank needed to avoid stepping on. It also fired streams of blue energy from its palms. The former took a split second to activate, giving Clank time to dodge using his Jet Boots, whereas the latter where similarly easy to avoid by timing your jumps carefully.
As Robo-Nefarious is constantly in flight he cannot be hit by the Tanglevine Carnation, and his agility leaves him too fast for melee attacks. Due to this, only the Thunderstorm Umbrella, Cufflink Bomb, and Tie-A-Rang are truly viable.
