New Bot Day! Grace (aka Mom) is the robot mother and caretaker to the superpowered kids of the Umbrella Academy. “Mom” assists their father and taskmaster Sir Reginald Hargreeves in his many mysterious endeavours. First appearing in comics in 2007; she’s a vivid, loving and ultimately tragic character portrayed by Jordan Claire Robbins in the 2019+ Netflix series. I’m looking forward to Season 3 this Summer. -

New Bot Day! “Blaster T-1000” is merchandise based on Terminator 2: Judgement Day. His whole torso can hinge forward to fire a missile? This 1991 toy robot makes no sense but is a great villain in an “all cops are bastards” way. -
