Relations[]
Robotboy[]
Robotboy is Tommy's best friend. They partook in many adventures together, improving their friendship along the way. In many episodes, Tommy teaches Robotboy about humanity and human behaviour; mentoring him whenever he needs explanations. In the episode "Robot Rebels", Dr. Kamikazi temporarily broke up their friendship by disguising himself as the leader of robots, but they reunited thanks to Tommy.
There are many times where countless villains have sabotaged their friendship, but Robotboy and Tommy always seem to make up in the end. In "Crying Time", Dr. Kamikazi reprogrammed Robotboy to make him obey to whatever command he issued, one of which was to kill Tommy, but after a Superactivated Robotboy saw Tommy crying for mercy, he thought back to earlier that day when Tommy was comforting him as he himself cried, which was enough to snap him out of Kamikazi's control and rescue Tommy from Kamikazi's clones.
