Hotbot is a type of robot from the videogame series Ratchet & Clank.

They are an all-gynoid type of machine; They are all hard exterior Metalic plating robots with exposed joint mechanisms.

They have certain unifying characteristics such as two-digit hands and glowing eyes with no pupils that are either blue or red-yellow hue.

They normally have plating resembling clothing that cannot be removed and a torso segmented in three axial sections. Footwear is also permanently built into the leg design.

The dermis like plating of the Hotbot is always pearl-like with a hue that goes from a fading blue, pale silver to orange gray.

Their facial plate (facemask) can be either a single continuous piece from the forehead to the chin, with plasticity for facial expressions; or it can be rigid with a segmented jaw.


Background

Hotbots belong to the fictitious Solana galaxy where they coexist with numerous types of biological civilizations on an unknown quantity of planets, moons, asteroids and space stations. They are one type of robot among several including robots meant for comedic purposes such as ghost robots. Hotbots appear to be sentient and their purpose seems to recreate feminine roles in society while being visually attractive. Hotbots apparently possess free will and are considered citizens on the larger part of the inhabited worlds with apparent rights and duties. Yet it is implied, rather for comedic purposes, that Hotbots can be mass-produced and be considered property, be rented and sold while also being able to own property, marriage, divorce, and generate income for personal use.
