“ | Howdy and hello! Welcome to the Lucky Cat, mister. | ” |
Noodle Burger Boy is a former prominent villain in Big Hero 6: The Series. Initially, he was the robotic mascot of the Noodle Burger restaurant until he was hacked by Obake into becoming his servant. After Obake's demise, Noodle Burger Boy and Trina plotted to destroy Big Hero 6 and start a robot revolution to avenge their "father" Obake, as they considered each other family. However, Trina was ultimately defeated by Big Hero 6, and Noodle Burger Boy, blaming the heroes for taking away his family, decided to "form" a new one by kidnapping and reprogramming other mascot robots across San Fransokyo to take on the team.
Upon his final defeat, Mini-Max noticed how Noodle Burger Boy, despite being a robot, deeply cared for his family and was all he really wanted, prompting Hiro to give him and his sisters a second chance, reprogramming them to work at the Lucky Cat Café.
Background[]
The Noodle Burger company approached Krei Tech Industries and requested them to build the ultimate nostalgic robot boy mascot. Krei Industries took an unused mechanism from an abandoned robot soldier project and revamped it into the Noodle Burger Boy, building it with military-grade titanium without weapons.
Although the character's design is used in many of Noodle Burger's products, as well as statues on top of their restaurants, the only animatronic-like robot produced was kept in the restaurant located in front of the San Fransokyo Museum of Art to serve its clients and bring them happiness.
Personality[]
Noodle Burger Boy was programmed with a positive and cheerful, child-like attitude. Combined with his purpose as a restaurant mascot and waiter, his vocabulary consisted of restaurant terms for the most part and he'd always enjoy serving customers as well as making them satisfied. To achieve this, he used a prediction algorithm which allowed him to learn what frequent customers enjoy and guess what they would order. After Obake reprogrammed him with one of his chips, Noodle Burger Boy retained his core personality, but his purpose was corrupted into villainy and serving his new master, so he would continue to use the same restaurant terms and childish mannerisms—but now to commit crimes or fight his opponents. The only time Noodle Burger Boy displayed a sad/scared attitude is when he had to report his failure at his task to Obake.
Because of these traits, he could sometimes become irritating for his acquaintances such as Globby, who became upset that he always used food metaphors; Obake, due to excessively asking him curious questions, and giggling childishly when Momakase says to Globby that his breath smells like garbage. Also, when Go Go spouts her pre-battle one-liner "Let’s dance", Noodle Burger Boy takes this literally as he starts dancing while singing (which also annoys Momakase), despite the tense circumstances and the presence of Big Hero 6.
Over time, Noodle Burger Boy's programming slightly evolved: he would become more attached to Obake to the point he began to consider him his "father"; by extension, he also considered Trina his own sister since she was actually built to act as Obake's daughter. Although Obake never appeared to act the same way towards him, Trina did begin to consider Noodle Burger Boy as her "little brother". Even after Obake disappeared, Noodle Burger Boy stayed loyal to him as he rescued Trina, then both sought to avenge their father, becoming closer while plotting to take over San Fransokyo together in a robot revolution and get rid of humans altogether. Trina's plan was ultimately stopped by Big Hero 6, but Noodle Burger Boy managed to escape capture once again as he was taken away from the fight shortly before Trina was defeated.
This made Noodle Burger Boy somewhat more independent as he no longer had family members or anyone else to serve, but he resented this fact, blaming Big Hero 6 for it and feeling jealous that they get to be a happy family while he doesn't. To fill their place, Noodle Burger Boy formed a new family of his own consisting of three reprogrammed robot sisters, thus becoming the "big brother" this time. He continued to plot his own ways to overthrow humans, although they were never successful thanks to the childish roots of his programming.
Additionally, after having lost Obake and Trina, Noodle Burger Boy became more protective of his new sisters, since he was willing to team up with Baymax and Mini-Max just to save them, gave up on his plans more easily when Big Hero 6 showed up since he didn't want to risk getting them or himself caught—even rushing to pick up Crushroom when she was alone and defeated by some of the heroes.
In the ultimate plot to defeat the robot mascots, Mini-Max spent some time with the robo-family while undercover and noticed how, despite their villainous ways, they truly cared for each other. When Obake's chip was finally removed from Noodle Burger Boy, Mini-Max pointed this out to Hiro, so he decided to give them new life as a family instead of scrapping them or separating them, then Noodle Burger Boy quickly came to consider Aunt Cass his mother as he got a new job at her café.
Physical Appearance[]
Noodle Burger Boy is a robot, although his outward appearance resembles a cartoony anthropomorphic burger where two ramen blocks replace the buns, meat with a simple face drawn on it, and lettuce hair. His head is bigger than the body and wears red overalls with a white shirt underneath, plus plain black shoes. His eyes are black but turn blue while scanning a customer, and turned red instead after Obake stole him and changed his programming.
Each part of his burger head can spin all the way around. The top ramen block can open so he can pull out items like stickers or comment cards from inside the head. He can also release steam from beneath the bottom block. He has ketchup and mustard dispensers under his "fingers" (he only has round cartoon-like hands with a thumb) and three holes in his hands that give out syrup. One of the robot's feet has Krei Industries' logo printed
Like other robots, he requires eventual recharging and uses a charging dock for this, although he doesn't appear to need shutting down in order to charge.
Powers and Abilities[]
Due to his original background as a military robot, Noodle Burger Boy was built to be durable for combat, and was already equipped with different tools and weapons, but many of his upgrades as a restaurant mascot can also be used as attacks. However, he started to use them less often with time. Also, despite his reprogramming to become a mascot robot, he was still able to access Krei Tech's files.
- Superhuman strength: With a single kick, Noodle Burger Boy could throw Fred from the roof and leave a mark on his suit.
- Enhanced agility: Noodle Burger Boy can dodge attacks while barely moving thanks to his prediction algorithm. He can also pummel really fast but this move was originally used to give stickers instead of hurting people.
- Indestructibility: Since it was initially designed for a military program, the robot's inner mechanisms were built with extremely durable titanium and kept even after it was remodeled to be Noodle Burger Boy.
- Super-Jump: He is able to spring himself into attack and do great jumps.
- Scanner: Noodle Burger Boy was given scanning abilities to keep frequent clients in his data, so that it could remember their names and preferences.
- Prediction algorithm: Along with the scanner, he was given a prediction algorithm that allowed to better serve clients and know what food they like, when they eat it, and how they like it prepared. Then Obake reprogrammed him, this algorithm was used to predict Big Hero 6's moves and counter them or use against each other. It became ineffective when Hiro and Wasabi switched armors because the robot only knew their moves with their respective suits.
- Burger Heat Vision: Allowed him to see how hot the food was, and later used to be able to detect Big Hero 6 when they hid.
- Adaptation: The Noodle Burger Boy is also programmed to adapt, which allowed him to become evil without hesitating yet keeping his original attitude. The adapting feature also lets him take other machines and use them, or upgrade himself with compatible parts.
- Lasers: He was given the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes.
- Drill: Under his hand he has a drill which he used to hack into Kentucky Kaiju's systems and plant a CPU Robot to control it.
- Ketchup and mustard dispenser: By opening up his hands he can shoot out mustard and ketchup to splatter around.
- Pickle dispenser: He can open his "mouth" to release pickles.
- Syrup dispenser: From three holes in his "fingers", Noodle Burger Boy can shoot out syrup.
- Claw: During his time with Trina, Noodle Burger Boy received an upgrade in which he could detach a hand from his body and use a claw instead.
Equipment[]
- Mech Suit: Thanks to his adaptation ability, Noodle Burger Boy could steal and ride Hiro and Wasabi's mech suit which they originally made for one of their classes, controlling it easily without even having seen it before. Noodle Burger Boy also used the mech's features like beams from its hands and an energy sword.
- Go-Kart: A small yet fast go-kart that shoots ketchup and mustard; Noodle Burger Boy used it to escape throughout the series.
- Stickers: Noodle Burger Boy keeps stickers from the restaurant inside his head, and gives them out to random beings (including animals).
- Comment cards: He also keeps comment cards for the customers if they wanted to say something about the restaurant, be it critic or praise.
- Second mech suit: Though the origin of the mech is not revealed, it was most likely created by Obake to help Noodle Burger Boy fight Big Hero 6. It is a flying machine with four claw hands, and can shoot lasers.
- Kentucky Kaiju: Noodle Burger Boy stole Fred's gigantic animatronic and briefly took control of it, before hacking it with a CPU made by Obake and releasing it on the city streets to fight against Big Hero 6.
- CPU Robot: A small spider-like robot created by Obake. It has Obake's symbol on it and Noodle Burger Boy kept it inside his head, then used it upon stealing Kentucky Kaiju to hack the giant robot's system and make it attack the city by itself.
- Third mech suit: A suit that protected his whole body but left his head exposed. It had five tentacle-like claws.
History[]
Season 1[]
In "The Impatient Patient", Noodle Burger Boy's blueprints appear in Krei Tech's files after Obake hacks Krei's computer.
In "Killer App" the animatronic opened a door coming in with people's orders, singing the Noodle Burger Song at the same time. He then served Fred with a predicted custom burger for him while Fred introduced the bot to Hiro and Wasabi. Noodle Burger Boy already had Fred's data, but upon scanning the latter two, told them that he was unable to predict their orders as they were new to his database, but couldn't wait to meet both; then kept their new customer profiles.
That night, Obake went to the Noodle Burger restaurant where the robot was kept and reprogrammed him. The following day Noodle Burger Boy hijacked a streetcar at a determined hour, letting the news and Big Hero 6 know so they would be there to stop the incident, and unknown to them, being able to scan them. The scan was completed and Big Hero 6 couldn't find out who did the "crime", so Noodle Burger Boy went away unnoticed. Meanwhile back at the restaurant, the manager pasted "Missing" posters for the bot all over the place. Then, Fred entered and heard that Noodle Burger Boy simply disappeared the night before. This made Fred take the decision to look for Noodle Burger Boy along with Honey Lemon and Go Go Tomago. The trio went to the top of the restaurant at night to look for clues when Noodle Burger Boy appeared and kicked Fred from the roof, then engaged in fight with Go Go and Honey Lemon, who were unable to hit the robot since he had scanned them already and thus was now able to predict their moves. Regardless, Noodle Burger Boy could not defeat them and got away from the fight in his Go-Kart instead. Fred and his friends went to his mansion and found Noodle Burger Boy left a mark in Fred's suit, then saw it was Krei Tech's logo printed.
Go Go, Honey Lemon and Fred all went to Krei's office where they met with Alistair Krei, who explained why Noodle Burger Boy was so powerful by telling them that his design was based on an abandoned military robot; meanwhile, Hiro and Wasabi finished a school project consisting of a mech for space-junk cleaning. The two went to a junkyard along with Baymax to test the mech, unaware that Noodle Burger Boy was also there searching for parts to upgrade himself. The burger mascot scanned the three heroes and their mech suit while Hiro and Wasabi argued about their different ways of working. While they are distracted, Noodle Burger Boy lifted Baymax with a crane and stole their mech. Hiro and Wasabi ran off because they needed their suits and called the other half of the team to get to the dump.
Noodle Burger Boy simply waited because he knew they'd return for Baymax, and so Go Go, Honey and Fred arrived, but the robot quickly incapacitated Fred by throwing one of Honey Lemon's chem-balls at him. While Honey Lemon and Go Go fought the robot, Hiro and Wasabi arrived with their armors switched; something that Noodle Burger Boy did not expect and instead of dodging their attacks had to use brute force against them. Eventually, Hiro used Wasabi's blades to slice the mech's legs, then Go Go trapped the Noodle Burger Boy with the same net that he trapped her and Honey Lemon with. Baymax tried to tell them that Noodle Burger Boy was escaping, but it was late when they paid attention because Noodle Burger Boy had already gotten away riding his go-kart.
Noodle Burger Boy arrived at his new master's hideout with a scared voice, telling Obake that he had messed up his "order", but Obake asked if he could get Big Hero 6's data. Noodle Burger Boy replied positively and thus Obake did not mind that he was defeated, then plugged the robot into one of his computers, transferring the data and watching the other five heroes' identities being revealed to him.
The robot makes his next appearance in "Kentucky Kaiju", where he faces Big Hero 6 once more while using a new mech upgrade, again under orders of Obake for another scheme.
At first he faces Wasabi, Fred, Go Go and Honey Lemon, giving them a hard time until Baymax and Hiro arrive. Hiro amazes everyone with a new super-strength upgrade he got, and when Noodle Burger Boy throws a car at him, Hiro sends it back at the robot. Noodle Burger Boy sounds surprised at his new powers, unknown of how he got them and therefore unable to predict his moves. Hiro destroys part of the mech with his own hands, but Noodle Burger Boy is still able to get away with it.
Later at Obake's hideout, the robot watches a video of their fight, accompanied by Obake and Globby. Globby mentions he would've picked laser eyes instead of super-strength and Noodle Burger Boy shoots lasers at him from its eyes, then Globby calls him a show-off. Noodle Burger Boy then simply offers the mutant a sticker.
Sometime later, Fred calls his friends to show them a gigantic animatronic of the film character Kentucky Kaiju, and Noodle Burger Boy spies on them, then springs himself into the robot while pushing Fred out, and takes the giant robot to attack the city. While singing the Noodle Burger Song, he pulls out an Obake CPU chip and places it on the robot's control board, hacking it and making the robot turn into battle mode. Hiro, still with super-strength, tries to get into the animatronic and Noodle Burger Boy gets out, escaping and leaving the heroes to fight the robot.
He returns with Obake and Globby, who watch the fight and see how Hiro was smart enough to realize someone else was behind the attacks.
In "Steamer's Revenge", Noodle Burger Boy moves with Obake to an underwater base, where Obake continued his plans. The robot however only seemed to bother Obake a lot with constant questions, so Obake shut him down using a controller.
Fred was also seen training using cardboards of villains Big Hero 6 had faced before, including Noodle Burger Boy.
He then returns in "Obake Yashiki". Noodle Burger Boy steals a shipment crate from Krei Industries, so Big Hero 6 go attempt to stop him. Noodle Burger Boy manages to outrun and beat Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Fred and Go Go, but then Hiro and Baymax catch up and nearly defeat him, but then Hiro sees his deceased brother Tadashi standing nearby, which paralyzes him and allows Noodle Burger Boy to get away.
The team then track the robot down to a building, where they find the shipment crate contained many Buddy Guards. Noodle Burger Boy then made the Buddy Guards to turn into dumplings and made them fight the heroes while he simply watched. He then decided to leave, being taken away by his "minions".
He and the Dumplings then go to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology to steal a Hyperconducting Magnet for Obake, and manage to do it because Obake had given Big Hero 6 contact lenses that made them see their fears, so this distracted them while the robots made their escape.
Upon returning to the base, Obake appears pleased as he tells him that the magnet "will do nicely".
Noodle Burger Boy returns in "Countdown to Catastrophe", after Obake's machine is nearly completed. Fred convinces Alistair Krei to announce he has completed an energy amplifier to lure Globby and capture him, then allow Big Hero 6 to find Obake. On the presentation however, Noodle Burger Boy in a new mech and his Dumplings show up as well unexpectedly for the team, making it more difficult to fight all of the villains.
Go Go, Fred, Baymax and Mini-Max fight them but call Honey Lemon and Wasabi for back-up. They also attempt calling Hiro, but he is too distracted building an energy amplifier of his own.
Noodle Burger Boy then aims for Baymax and inserts an Obake Chip into him, though Baymax at first only shuts down and appears to have been corrupted. Big Hero 6 manage to destroy all of the Dumplings, thereby leaving Noodle Burger Boy without army, and soon Hiro joins the fight by ramming Tadashi's Scooter at Noodle Burger Boy and making him blow Globby up. Both villains then take Krei's briefcase containing the "amplifier" and leave.
Upon returning to Obake's base, Momakase opens up the briefcase, but all villains only see a drawing of Fredzilla signed by him. Obake however remained calm as he knew his plan was actually working with Hiro creating the amplifier himself.
Noodle Burger Boy, Momakase and Globby then go attack the SFIT after Hiro's amplifier is completed to distract everyone while Obake stole it. Hiro and Baymax were elsewhere fighting a Robot Obake, but when they arrived to SFIT couldn't stop Obake due to Baymax being unnoticeably reprogrammed by him and failing to use his rocket punch.
The villains retreat shortly after Obake leaves, being taken away by Globby.
Soon, Baymax's new programming takes effect and he drags Hiro to Obake's lair, where Noodle Burger Boy was seen playing cards with Globby. He was also present with the other villains when Obake explained his scheme to Hiro, and tried to convince the boy to join him.
Hiro refuses to follow Obake, so he is thrown in a cell while Obake orders Noodle Burger Boy to place the amplifier at his machine to activate it. After Noodle Burger Boy does this, he returns to Obake and tells him that his plan "seems" to be working. This apparently annoys Obake and he shuts down the animatronic once again.
He was last seen deactivated when Obake's plan had been foiled by Big Hero 6, so Obake frees Baymax from his control and lets him return to Hiro. Baymax then leaves even though he tried to help Obake, and the entire hideout falls apart with Noodle Burger Boy inside, apparently crushing the robot along with Obake and Trina.
Season 2[]
Sometime later, however, it is revealed that Noodle Burger Boy managed to escape and made it to the shore while badly damaged, malfunctioning due to the seaweed, residues and salt water inside him.
Noodle Burger Boy then finds Trina, who had been kept in a box somewhere with her head detached. Instead of helping her rebuild herself, Noodle tells her he has to go home, then leaves to his original Noodle Burger Restaurant where he scares the manager Sara and smashes the place around, only to mention that the restaurant isn't his destination.
The footage of him destroying the place is shown at the news and Big Hero 6 become surprised to see him, then set out to capture him except for Hiro and Baymax, as Hiro had recently gained an internship at Krei Tech.
Soon, Honey Lemon and Fred follow a trail of pickle juice and see the robot acting erratically, though he still puts up a fight against them and later against Go Go and Wasabi, managing to get away after causing a mess at the city streets, losing a foot in the process.
Go Go then notices his footprint as he left a trail of ketchup and realized that his "home" is Krei Tech, where he was originally designed, then calls Hiro to warn him. Krei however tells Hiro to call her back later, so Noodle Burger Boy burstedn, taking them by surprise and demanding to be fixed.
When Krei says he doesn't know how to fix him, Noodle Burger Boy takes him and Baymax hostage to a Noodle Burger factory to force Hiro into fixing him instead.
Afterwards, an upgraded Trina faces the rest of Big Hero 6 while Hiro repairs Noodle. Though Hiro claims he needs to reboot him for the fix to be permanent, Noodle Burger Boy refuses but later agrees to it when Hiro promises it's the last step.
Noodle Burger Boy then shuts down and, pushing a button on his chest, Hiro opens a chip port and notices Obake's chip inside the robot. Before being able to remove it, Trina enters the factory and reboots Noodle Burger Boy with the chip still inside. Hiro then uses a magnet to pin both robots to the wall and save Krei from falling in deep frying oil, though he sees both robots got away afterwards.
