Drake as it's seen in Chibi Robo! Photo Finder!

Space Hunter Drake Redcrest (usually shortened to Drake Redcrest) is one of the toys in the Chibi-Robo! series. He is an action figure that is supposed to be a Space Hunter and has his own TV show, which Mr. Sanderson loves to watch. He's the one who gives Chibi-Robo the Drake Redcrest Suit and teaches Chibi-Robo how to pose. After the first Utilibot is made, he will begin to start a new move. When Sunshine destroys Princess Pitts' castle, Drake tries to stop Sunshine, only to make Sunshine more angry. Sunshine begins to attack Drake, who tries using a force-shield. Unfortunately for him, Sunshine was also in the force-shield providing no protection for Drake leading to Sunshine punching him to the ground.

He's one of the first toys Chibi-Robo encounters in the game and can be often seen "patrolling" the Living Room.

Personality

Drake tends to be loyal to justice and tries to stop anything that he thinks is evil. He appears to not be the smartest at times, as he will often become forgetful and get distracted from his self-imposed duties. He has difficulty understanding some things, and also seems to be hiding some secret sadness.

In Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder, he asks Chibi-Robo for advice on justice, with a new question every day. He admits to only thinking about himself, and that he wants to be kinder. Continuing to talk with him reveals his new desire to improve himself as a person along with improving his sense of justice.

Physical Description

Drake's costume is reminiscent of various 1970's Japanese superhero outfits like Neo-Human Casshern or Gatchaman . He sports a helmet with a blue (yellow in the U.S.) visor and a yellow V on his chest. His face can barely be seen through his visor, and when visible it is shown that his "teeth" are always showing, as if he's furious. He also has a blaster holstered on the left side of his belt, possibly indicating that he is left-handed. In later appearances like Captain Rainbow, his chin protrudes and is the only visible part of his head, while in Photo Finder only part of his eyes are distinguishable. Drake's design was changed drastically in Photo Finder: he instead sports a thinner belt with a new design on the buckle, his helmet completely covers his face, and he has a more organic design that makes him seem like a modern action figure.

  • Drake is bent on defeating the aliens whenever he sees them, which may mean he is unaware that they were responsible for bringing him and the other toys to life, as well as granting Giga-Robo eternal battery.
  • While Drake is a toy based off the Drake Redcrest TV show, he may ironically be an alien as well. In the original game, Sunshine says there's a rumor that Drake is an alien, which is confirmed in Photo Finder when Drake himself says he came to Earth from across the galaxy.
  • Though Drake is a toy, he has demonstrated various super powers, including flight and a special move called Great Twin Blizzard!
  • Shooting Drake with the Chibi-Blaster will make his helmet blink, revealing his bald head.
  • In the Japanese version, Drake's helmet has a blue visor, while in the U.S. version, it is yellow. In Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder, it is blue in both versions.
  • He appears as a third-party character in a 2008 Japanese-only game called Captain Rainbow, also a Skip game. Surprisingly, his visor's color in the trailers were yellow like in the U.S. version of Chibi Robo!, but this was eventually changed back to blue in the final version of the game. In this game, he also has a talking spaceship companion, who has a bit of an attitude.
  • In Captain Rainbow, Drake mentions he was traumatized by a dog using him as a chew toy when he was younger. It may also be worth noting that his reaction to the Tao suit in the original game is to say "Are you trying to scare Drake Redcrest?"
  • In his Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder appearance, his eyes can be partially seen from under his helmet.
  • Also in Photo Finder, Drake says he is an "exclusive, limited edition, Drake-con action figure" and also a promotional movie tie-in product. It's worth noting this version of Drake is likely different from the original one.

  • In Chibi-Robo! Zip-Lash, Drake says his belt is a utility belt.
  • Drake is seen as a Spirit in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.

Captain Rainbow appearance info (dont know where to put this, please fix)

Drake Redcrest appears as a character in Captain Rainbow. He arrives after the main character, unlike most of the cast, in his spaceship that crashes into the beach after being hit by a meteorite. His wish is to finally understand the difference between justice and evil. After his introduction, he jumps off the ship and gets stuck in the sand, and you must retrieve his spaceships core so it can help get him out. Once it flies off, it crashes again, and after fishing Drake out of the lake all he wants to do is play games such as hide and seek, being unusually happy because of a head injury.
