Drake Redcrest

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 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. 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, among many other paths the dialogue can go, showing a new desire to improve himself as a person along with improving his sense of justice.

Physical Description

Drake's costume resembles various 1970's Japanese superhero outfits like Neo-Human Casshern, 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 looking furious. This trait is exclusive to his original appearance, as in 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. In his original appearance in Chibi-Robo Plug into Adventure, he has a blaster on the left side of his belt (meaning he may be left handed), 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. His design in Photo Finder makes him look less "blocky" as he looks more organic, and his helmet completely covers his face.

Trivia

• Drake is one of the first toys seen in the game.
• He seems to be able to somehow control the TV.
• Drake is possibly unaware that the aliens helped Giga-Robo bring the toys to life and helping Giga-Robo get eternal battery due to wanting to defeat them.
• Though ironically, Drake seems to be an alien himself (the TV character, he's still a toy, just a toy of an alien.) 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.
• Drake is a toy, yet he has super powers, including flight and his special move 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 Drake's visor 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 part of his eyes can be seen slightly 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.
• Drake's design is based off of an anime hero called 'Gatchaman'. Drake's Japanese name is 'Giccoman' similar to that of Gatchaman.
• In Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder, Drake is much bigger than Chibi-Robo, as if he was a real life action figure. In the next game, Chibi-Robo! Zip-Lash, he retains his design, but is almost as tall as Chibi-Robo. In Captain Rainbow, he is instead roughly 3 feet tall.
• Drake is the only toy to be shown talking directly to a human. (in Captain Rainbow)
• 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.
