ROB also flew Great Fox low at Venom to back up the team and drop off bombs. Near the end of the road, at Area 6, ROB helped Fox by dropping supplies when necessary and gave cover fire to destroy many of the battle cruisers with Great Fox's heavy laser cannons, tearing through the defences of the Harlocks and Zerum Class battleships. At Bolse, he could not do much because of the size of the station and was only able to give Fox supplies. In Sector Z, while passing through the debris field, the Great Fox was attacked by missiles which were shot down by Fox and his team. At Macbeth, he helped out in finding the Forever train's destination and dropped more supplies. At Zoness, he again provided Fox with supplies but did not participate in battle to destroy the beacons because the ship was too big to pass unspotted. This time, he went ahead of the team to find Slippy and soon found him. He then had to receive data to find Slippy which he reported was on Titania. Then, in Sector X, he took out some of the rubble so he could pass in and drop off supplies. On Solar, he backed the team up and gave Fox many supplies, because of the searing heat. At Aquas, ROB dropped Fox in the Blue-Marine off in the waves and gave supplies. In the mission on Fichina, ROB reported that there was a bomb in the base, and gave a countdown time limit whilst dropping more supplies to Fox. In Sector Y, he provided more backup and gave Fox some supplies. At Katina, ROB didn't do much except give Fox supplies.

At the Meteo asteroid field, ROB used the Great Fox's main guns and blasted a pathway for the team through the asteroids. ROB made an important role in the Lylat Wars, since he was the one who intercepted the emergency distress signal that General Pepper transmitted to the Star Fox team. He became friends with the members early on, especially Slippy, as he was the mechanic and remembered to frequently recharge ROB's proton packs. He helped in many missions, and would only provide backup fire for the team if the Arwings could not penetrate a target. When James's son Fox restarted the team and received his father's orders, ROB was finally ready and first served the second Star Fox team, staying on board Great Fox.īefore the Lylat Wars, when Fox became leader of Star Fox, ROB was hardwired into the Great Fox, allowing him to become the automatic controller and pilot. ROB and Great Fox's constructions were not yet completed when James disappeared. James McCloud took out a low interest, 80-year mortgage to purchase Great Fox, a debt that his son is doing his best to repay.” -īefore Fox's Star Fox team was formed, ROB 64 was originally created by Space Dynamics Co Ltd, along with the Great Fox under the orders of James McCloud. ROB 64 was developed in conjunction with Great Fox and is hard-wired to the ship's primary computer.

Power for its 2 T&B-H9 hyper laser cannons is routed directly from the plasma engines, giving the ship the ability to punch through even a Zeram-class Cruiser's shields. Featuring 3 NTD-FX9 plasma engines, Great Fox is light-speed capable and has a real-space cruising speed that nearly matches the Arwing's.

Developed by Arspace Dynamics Co., Ltd., manufacturer of the Arwing fighter, Great Fox was custom built under the direction of James McCloud.
