Summary
ManMech was a Vtuber whose main gimmick was acting as a dorkish Mechaman impersonator. Its a known joke within his community that he's well overdue to be sued by the hero's lawyers for his burlesque parody.
Robert is just hoping that nobody makes the connection-- that they're actually the same person.

Summary
The first Mecha Man to grace L.A. was titled Mecha Man Prime, being the first in the legacy of non-powered humans to make a difference as a hero. The second Mecha Man named himself Astral and made his debut in L.A. as the leader of a group of heroes.
Robert was supposed to be the third Mecha Man. His father would have wanted that for him, but disappointing his father isn't new to him anyway.
In Robert's defense, he had a very valid crash out after his dad was murdered a decade ago. In his opinion, this leads to his very reasonable agenda of hunting down the man who murdered him. It sucks, because it's his target is beloved by the entire damn State.
L.A.'s third Mecha Man, Elliot Connors.
(OR: Robert Robertson is L.A.'s most wanted supervillain, hunting down the newly retired Mecha Man one dispatch call at a time.)
(OR OR: Dispatch ft. Villain Robert Robertson III) -

Summary
"Leaning against the door, he let the dopey, love-sick smile rise to his face once more. Not even the bitter sting of cat rejection could overshadow the giddiness from a team-outing-slash-group-date gone well.
'Herm? Is that you?' He heard. Seemed like one thing could. Suddenly, all of the dry spots Chad had left were instantly wet again."
(or: in which Herman comes home after the bar, and learns rather unexpectedly that he was not the only person in his family familiar with polyamory.)

Summary
Robert was human.
He felt pain, emotionally at least, felt joy, occasionally at least, and he even looked after Beef. Because why would he care about a dog if he wasn't human?
Yes, his body was made up of metal and wires, and he didn't eat or drink or breath. But what did that matter?AU where Robert is an AI that controls the Mecha Man armour.

Summary
It all started with a flyer.
Open Mic Night. Singers and Writers welcome!
Lying on his bed later that night, Herman stumbled on that flyer again in his photo roll. It was so plain, just white text on an abundantly colourful background, but it still made his hands shake. Was it nervousness? Or maybe…excitement?

Summary
Because Robert said he wanted to grow closer with the z-team, Chase has decided to bring cartridges with embarrassing videos from Robert's past. At least, they're supposed to be embarrassing, but the z-team has a bad habit of picking the traumatic ones.

Summary
“Put your hands on me,” Robert commands, voice raspy with pain.
Flambae finally runs out of words, sputtering uselessly.
“Your hands,” Robert grinds out, gritting his teeth through another excruciating wave of spasms. “On me.”
“Bitch, now is not the time!” Flambae hisses. From his place on the floor, Robert can just barely make out the fierce flush spreading across the other man’s face.

Summary
Five years after Shroud is defeated, Waterboy lives comfortably as a high-ranking SDN hero. The Z-team, now a well respected hero troupe, lives on in something just to the left of glory. Everything is peaceful. Or, at least, as peaceful as it can be.
And then he's flung violently back into the past, forced to watch as old wounds open. Okay. Whatever.
There's really not much he can do without messing up the future, but... maybe there's some comfort he can provide. Some life he can bring to his past teammates' eyes.
It's the least he can do.

Summary
It made sense that Robert associated touch with something bad and given the way he made comments about his father being the ‘tough love’ type, Flambae was starting to doubt that much of the touch Robert received had ever been positive. How many times had someone laid their hands on Robert and didn’t mean him harm?
Or,
Robert is scared of being touched. Flambae tries to make it a little less scary.

Summary
Robert's been trying not to violently attack anyone when working as a Dispatcher for SDN - considering it's not exactly the most heroic move in anyone's books, especially not literal superheroes.
But when his team doesn't shut the hell up, Robert's headache (combined with his lack of sleep from his lack of a mattress) might make him a little looser in the whole 'repressing his reflexes that he used in life or death situations when he was Mecha Man' department.
And, if he accidentally bodyslams Flambae into the breakroom microwave as a result of that, Robert will threaten you with unpaid time off to stop that information from spreading.

Summary
“She didn’t tell me she was sending the hot nurse.” His voice is low, raspy in a way Robert is sure is supposed to be seductive but sounds a little more like he swallowed sandpaper. He grins up crookedly, eyes shamelessly dragging over the column of Robert’s throat. “Not that I’m complaining.”
Robert blinks. Once. Twice.
He… he wasn’t expecting that.
Or,
Flambae is concussed and thinks Robert’s his boyfriend. Shenanigans ensue.

Summary
But Elliot made a crucial mistake, he may have killed his dad, but he did not kill Mecha Man.
Because the Mecha Man Armor was sitting in his dad’s garage right now, absent of a pilot to put it to use. People may be mourning that Mecha Man is dead, but they are also expecting a new Mecha Man to appear.
And this mantle falls to him to pick up.

When Elliot Connors shot Robbie Robertson, Robert was only 11 years old. Instead of going to therapy or continuing schooling. Robert dedicates himself to becoming Mecha Man in his father’s absence. This leads to a 15 year old Robert being the Mecha Man that the SDN and Team Z will have the misfortune of dealing with.

Summary
“Sooo have you actually had gay sex?” Victor asks genuinely curious.
Robert tilts his head, an actual grin breaking through. “Have the news ever lied to you?”
Everyone stares at Robert. He just shrugs.
---------
Or the SDN makes the horrible executive decision to put Robert onstage as the Z-Team’s hero representative, fully aware that his PR experience consists of half a prayer and a legacy doing most of the heavy lifting. Robert takes the microphone and runs with it, feeding Los Angeles the most outrageous half-truths he can get away with.
The Z-Team slowly realizes their dispatcher is a public menace.
Unfortunately, they are completely whipped.

Summary
Another reason the poster is so wildly expensive, even months later, is because that specific line of merch was also the release of Track Star’s first official merch line. He had only debuted a month earlier. Robert himself had only met the hero a week before his birthday. A week after his birthday, Track Star had started babysitting him.
Months later, he still does, even if Robert had grown too old for a babysitter.
“Call me Chase, kid.”
Robert removes his hands from his hips and crosses his arms instead, just like how Chase is posed in the poster.
It feels better than Dad’s pose.
=====
If you were to ask a young Robert who his favorite hero was, he would say Mecha Man, just as everyone expected it to be.
However, his real answer is Track Star.
That answer hasn’t changed, even over 15 years later.
(Or: Five times Robert knowingly imitated Chase (and the one time he didn’t))

Summary
But Robert knew no matter how much he wanted it, kindness wasn’t something he, or his stupid, broken down body, deserved.
He pulled away again, averting his eyes self-consciously whenever he remembered why he was really there tonight. The last thing he wanted was for Waterboy to see him like that. To see what the hero that he idolised was really like behind all the smoke and mirrors.
Herman’s smile fell at the same time as his lighter-coloured eyebrows rose, “D-don’t you want to dance-join in?” He glanced around the place where Robert was still leaning against the counter, “You’re all by your-alone.”
Not for long, if I’m lucky, Robert thought bitterly. The ache that had been building in his gut all day felt like a ravenous, gnawing hole now. It twisted something inside of him, made him feel sick and rotten and wrong. And a thousand miles away from the sweet-faced, wetsuit-wearing hero currently giving up his Saturday night to help keep a bunch of villains safe at a crappy metal night.
