Editing Rob (The Amazing World of Gumball) (section)

== Trivia ==

* Rob made a cameo on the computer in "The Genius," showing that his friends were (in order) Teri, Alan, Leslie, and Carmen. Also, it shows him wearing a mustang mask in the desert on Fessebook. This same page reappears on "The Internet."
* Technically, Rob, Bobert, and Banana Bob have the same name, since they are all shortened forms of the name Robert.
* Originally, for Season 1, Rob was animated with CGI. In Season 2, he was changed to a 2D animated character, probably to make him easier to animate. Starting with "The Nobody," he is again animated in CGI.
* In "The Nobody," it is revealed that Rob never had parents or any siblings, although at the time he stated this he was suffering from amnesia.
** In the same episode, the static-covered portions of Rob's body can be seen glowing in the dark.
* He is the second character to have a permanent physical change in the show, the first being Penny. Fittingly, they both have a unique relationship with Gumball and have the most major roles out of any non-Watterson character.
* Rob is aware of the fact that the world he lives in is fictional.
* Despite his tragic nature, Rob is one of the most dangerous and morally compromised villains Gumball has ever faced, willing to forgo his morality in order to hurt Gumball, resulting in the near deaths of the main cast and arguably having crossed the Moral Event Horizon in various instances, such as:
** Deleting the Van Shopkeeper from existence while smiling about it.
** Breaking up Gumball's family, while simultaneously having Gumball nearly kill Penny twice.
** Attempting to seal Gumball in the Void.
** Reveling in Nicole and Richard being transformed into infants, which caused Anais to disappear from existence and Darwin to suffocate and die from devolution.
** Creating a shark to eat Gumball during their battle in "The Future," along with utilizing a bazooka as a weapon.
** Threatening to eat Banana Barbara if she didn't paint the future (though his threat was nulled by his lack of depth perception due to his one eye).
* When Rob told Gumball he "could be whatever he wants" when Gumball's "out of the picture" in "The Disaster," It suggests that Rob was also planning to rule the universe with the remote's power and, by doing so, can redefine his place in the world and take control.
* Rob states in "The Bus" that he has a major in Canadian History, which could imply that he has already proceeded in his studies at 13 years of age. However, this could have been a one-off gag.
* In "The Uploads," Rob is shown to have an internet channel called Dr. Wr., his only video titled W.R.E.C.K.T.R.E, a parody to S.P.E.C.T.R.E in OO7.
* Rob's static changes depending on his emotions. When he experiences malevolence, his static turns dark navy, but when he's angry or freaking out, his static glows white.
** It also exhibits the "unmoving plaid" effect, in which it retains the same 2D orientation regardless of how Rob is positioned.
* Rob is arguably one of the strongest characters in the show, having defeated Gumball and his family who are considered to be some of Elmore's strongest residents.
* Currently, Nicole is the only one of the five Wattersons who hasn't directly encountered Rob or interacted with him.
* He is currently the very last character to appear and speak in the main series, as he had the last line in "The Inquisition."
* Rob is the only character who consistently remembers the Void, as the other characters have had their memories wiped or their timelines rewound.
* There exists a running gag in the series where Gumball keeps forgetting his name, usually calling him similar one-syllable names that begin with "r." However, in "The Bus," "The Rerun," "The Ex," "The Future," and "The Inquisition," Gumball correctly says his name.
* In "The Future," Rob claims he has bad depth perception due to only having one eye.
* Rob's name was first revealed after people were asking James Lamont who the blue cyclops from "The Party" was. He jokingly responded with, "We do not speak of him," but ultimately, he gave in and revealed his name.
* Jacob Hopkins, one of Gumball's voice actors, has stated that Rob is his favorite character from the series.
* As seen in "The Nemesis" and "The Disaster," Rob's post-Void form can be manipulated with a TV remote, and his static can also display menu options and status symbols. When displaying the menu options, the grey and static textures on Rob's head switch places to accommodate.
