Messages

When blocking:

• The grey robot zips around animatedly on its treads, until it accidentally runs over a soda can that was lying on the ground. "Reassemble, <player>, reassemble!" the robot shouts, over and over again in an increasing pitch until you convince it that it can't be reassembled. Needless to say, your opponent stays clear of the robot freakout until it's over.
• The grey robot wheels forward and backward, then spins in a circle. The cloud of dust that it kicks up leaves your opponent blinded and coughing.

Otherwise:

• The grey robot accidentally runs over a soda can that was lying on the ground and spends the next several seconds trying to reanimate it. Herbert West your robot is not.
• The grey robot starts making a wall of blocks until your opponent reminds it that'd be a reference to the wrong movie. Drat, that wall could've been handy.
  

Dismissal Message: You decide you're better off without a sidekick and shoo yours away.
