Unknown-2

Robert the Terrible is the bad pirate in the movie "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything". He is a gourd and an inventor. He has a mechanical body. He kidnapped Alexander and Eloise because he was after The King's crown, but sank then came backk trying to get who he thought was George but was Sir Fredrick A.K.A Jimmy Gourd but George, Elliot, and Sedgewick stopped him and sent him back. He also appears in the music video Rock Monster, but he doesn't sing.

Personality[]

Robert is a dastardly, cruel, power-hungry gourd whose objectives stem from wanting to take over Monterria as King. This is because he found it atrocious that his brother was using his influence for the sake of everyone in Monteria barring the Royal Family, seeing his brother's generous acts as 'squandering' the wealth his family had on 'strangers' and 'peasants' and even mockingly imitates his brother when he stated they should 'feed the poor' and 'help the sick' along with widows and orphans, showing that he is unsympathetic to his former subject's plights and appeared to be quite egotistical about his former royal status. This prompted him to try and take the throne by force, to no avail.

Most vegetables find him too powerful due to the fact that he has an iron leg and a peg-leg, also due to the fact that his arms are visibly made out of metal, unlike the rest of the Veggies who have arms that aren't visible.

He also wanted to destroy three Veggies: Elliot (played by Larry the Cucumber), George (played by Pa Grape), and Sedgewick (played by Mr. Lunt). However, since they came from the future instead of the 17th century, he didn't know about them until the King was almost returning, so killing them was never going to be as easy as he thought. Robert was banned from Monterria for years, giving him nothing to do except "dabble in the mechanical arts". In his exile, he built his Barrel-Robot Carrier and used Black-Powder to make highly powerful explosives.

Robert is also quite vengeful as he tried to do away with Elliot, Sedgewick, and George for foiling his scheme.

Biography[]

Robert first appears when he arrives on one of his ships to capture Prince Alexander, with the latter telling him that his banishment was well-deserved. He proceeds to kidnap Alexander with the rest of the soldiers afraid to do anything because of Robert's menacing presence. Robert then orders one of his pirates to search for Princess Eloise, to no avail. Robert then takes Alexander and his soldiers to his lair, while Eloise sends the King's time machine known as a Helpseeker to travel to the future and search for heroes to assist them.

Eventually, he reveals to Alexander that he wants to become the new King of Monteria, and tells him about his hatred for the current King (Alexander and Eloise's father). Soon, he gives Alexander a demonstration of the King's would-be death, with two pirates shoving an inanimate figure resembling the King into a small boat which runs over a black powder explosive underwater, blowing up the boat as well as the figure.

Robert then tells Alexander that he can't leave his ships waiting for the King's return or his own ships would be blown up, so he angrily demands Alexander when the King will return. The latter says that the King didn't state when he will return, but refuses to tell him even if the King did tell him. Then, Princess Eloise, who was just kidnapped by Robert's henchmen, arrives in the lair. Robert then puts an hourglass with a signal on it which he set to two hours, stating that when the sand runs out, he will kill both of them. Willory (played by Archibald Asparagus), Eloise's loyal protector and butler, is also revealed to be imprisoned.

Two hours later, the sand in the hourglass runs out, but a trio of cabin boys from the future named Elliot (Larry the Cucumber), George (Pa Grape), and Sedgewick (Mr. Lunt) are able to enter the lair and free Alexander, Eloise, and Willory just in time. However, the prison guard rings a bell and Robert enters. Eloise tells Robert that the King sent Elliot, George, and Sedgewick to undo his plans. Robert then questions the three the King's whereabouts, or else he will kill Alexander and Eloise. The three heroes start to fall into despair until George looks up to a chandelier and comes up with a plan. George then cuts down the chandelier, causing it to smash into Robert's face and knock him off of his mechanical body.

However, Robert is able to get back onto his mechanical body and continues to pursue the heroes, who escape onto a boat summoned by the Helpseeker. However, Robert and his men head out on their ship and use their cannons in an attempt to kill the escapees. However, the King unexpectedly returns, and fires two cannons at Robert's ship, causing it to sink. Robert orders his men to continue firing, but they flee in fear. Robert then yells at the King, stating that he will not give up until he becomes the knew King before sinking into the water. With that, the King rewards Elliot, George, and Sedgewick for their heroism.

The three heroes then use the Helpseeker to return to the present day back to their ordinary jobs at their restaurant as cabin boys, completely unaware that Robert used his metal claw to latch onto their boat. He interferes at the pirate play in the restaurant and tries to murder the star of the show, Sir Frederick, mistaking him for George. However, the three heroes show up again and duel with Robert. George is able to use the Helpseeker to cause the boat to fall onto Robert and then uses it to send the boat and Robert back to the 17th century.

In the song Rock Monster, it is revealed that Robert is imprisoned in a cage on a deserted island, despite still having his mechanical suit, happily dancing in the cage while listening to the song.
