Robert Robertson III
Mecha Man
Voice Actor: Aaron Paul
Role: Protagonist / Dispatcher
Character Profile
Third-generation superhero and protagonist of Dispatch voiced by Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul. Unlike his father and grandfather, Robert possesses no superpowers—his heroic capabilities came entirely from his signature mech suit. When the suit is destroyed during an ambush while pursuing Shroud (his father's killer), Robert faces financial ruin from repair costs and accepts a dispatcher position at the Superhero Dispatch Network to fund restoration. The game follows his dual journey: managing the dysfunctional Z-Team from behind the desk while investigating his father's murder. As dispatcher, Robert coordinates emergency responses across Los Angeles, deciding which heroes to send on missions while managing their injuries, relationships, and personal dramas. His balanced stats reflect versatile decision-making capabilities, though without the mech suit he cannot deploy as a field hero. The role reversal from frontline fighter to support coordinator creates narrative tension as Robert must trust others to handle threats he once confronted directly.
