Drake Redcrest

Space Hunter Drake Redcrest (usually shortened to Drake Redcrest) is one of the toys in Chibi Robo. 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 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 forceshield. Unfortunately for him, Sunshine was also in the forceshield providing no protection for Drake leading to Sunshine punching him to the ground.

He's one of the first toys Chibi encounters in the game and can be often seen "patrolling" the living room.

Personality

Drake tends to be loyal to sticking to Justice and tries to stop anything that he thinks is evil. Drake appears to not be smarter than he looks at times he becomes forgetful and at times gets distracted from his duties.

Description

Drake's costume resembles various 1970's Japanese superhero outfits like Neo Roider Cassshern, or Gatchaman sporting a helmet with a blue visor, and a yellow V on his chest. His head is barely seen at times through the shield of his helmet, and when visible, it is shown that his "teeth" are always showing, as if smiling. This trait is exclusive to his original appearence, as in Captain Rainbow, his chin portrudes and is the only visible part of his head while in Photo Finder, only his eye brows and part of his eyes are distinguishable. In his original appearance in Chibi Robo Plug into Adventure, he has a blaster on the right side of his belt, while in Chibi Robo Photo finder, he doesn't have it along with his original belt, sporting a more thin one that includes a new design on the buckle rather than the original symbol.
