The Keroro Robo (MK-I) (ケロロロボ) is Keroro's personal mecha/combat robot that is modeled after him.
Intro
First introduced in Episode 52, the Keroro Robo was built for Keroro to aid Tamama in Momoka Nishizawa's "abduction". Along with the Kururu Robo, they were the first two robots introduced before all members of the platoon received one in Episode I56 A. The Keroro Robo serves as the torso component for God Keron and Great Keron after all robots are combined. Following it's destruction in episode 202 by Great Shurara during the Great Keron formation, God Keron, was used to beat Shurara in the final battle.
Keroro Robo MK-II (ケロロロボ Mk.II Keroro Robo Maku Tsu) was released as a back-up unit, secretly made by Kururu when the Great Keron was out of commission.
Other Models
Keroro Robo No. 2 (ケロロロボ2号 Keroro Robo Nigo). This robot used by the Copy Robots in episode I04, Keroro: Farewell, Dear Keroro de arimasu. It was also used by Karara and Chiroro and Chibi Fuyuki to invade Pekopon despite their failure.
Keroro Robo G (ケロロロボG Keroro Robo Ji) During the second movie, the Keroro platoon and their allies destiny tried to rescue Natsumi and Giroro from Maru and Meru. While Keroro and Fuyuki infiltrated Maru's castle, Momoka and the others diverted most enemies to keep them busy by riding this mech.
Types
One of the Keroro platoon's combat robots, it was created with the Kururu Robo as the first two robots before all members of the platoon received one. Keroro would dock in the cockpit on the top of the robot's head. It's main armament is a machine gun, a shield and a I000-tonne hammer. It was among the five mechas that were autopiloted by Kururu in an attack on Tororo's hideout during the Garuru Platoon's invasion.
When the Keroro Robo MK-I is used, the robot is connected to Keroro's nerve system. In Volume 9 of the manga, Tororo had used the 'Super-Ancient Keron Forces' Emperor Program' to hack into Keroro Robo MK-I which set a virus in Keroro. This virus had infected Keroro's brain and turned into Dark Keroro.
It was succsessfully destroyed after the battle with Dark Keroro, who was not related to the 3rd Keroro Gunso film, Keroro Gunso the Super Movie 3: Keroro vs. Keroro Great Sky Duel de arimasu! and separate from Dark Keroro himself.
The Keroro Robo MK-I is built the way a normal Gundam Model is built, but it is large in the matter of size.
The Keroro Robo MK-II is similar to the Keroro Robo MK-I, although the distinct difference is that the MK-II has a big red star in the middle and can transform into an jet.
After the first Keroro Robo's destruction, God Keron was sent to combat the gigantic Keromet. While trying to rescue Shirara, God Keron was separated into five robots, and among them were Keroro Robo Mk-II, piloted by Keroro. Like the original, it wields a machine gun and a shield. It can also transform into a jet.
Unlike the other four mechs the rest of the Keroro Platoon wield, the Keroro Robo MK-II is the only mech that does not have protection for the user when used as God Keron. The top of mech is open, leaving the user vulnerable to attacks directed to them. In space, Keroro must wear a space helmet unlike the rest of the platoon when in the God Keron formation because he himself does not have an air supply.
Trivia
