Bigweld is the overarching protagonist of Blue Sky's second animated film Robots. He is the head of Bigweld Industries and owns a television show called "The Bigweld Show". His main body resembles an enormous titanium sphere with a tuxedo-like cover.
He is voiced by Mel Brooks, who also voiced Wiley, and Vlad Dracula.
His Story[]
When Rodney Copperbottom was a child, Bigweld was famous for his inventive television show and making robots' life better with his company by inventing new things until Ratchet took over since his company wasn't making any revenue, stopping the production of spare parts and making Bigweld an outmode in the process. Years later, Bigweld stopped appearing publically to live a life in his home setting up and knocking down dominoes while calling himself "King of the beach".
When Rodney tries to convince Bigweld to come back, he refuses at first, telling Rodney to "give up" due to being under the impression that no one can beat Ratchet. However, when Rodney is boarding the train back home he comes to his senses and goes back to him, telling him that he wants to grow up to be like him and proceeds to join Rodney's battle against Ratchet.
At Bigwell Industries he makes the first move by trying to fire Ratchet from the company, however he is hit over the head by Ratchet with a telephone in the boardroom after Bigweld called the security. Afterwards Rodney bursts into the room while Ratchet commands said security to carry him away into the Chop Shop, partly because he could make profit off of melting him down and making him into upgrades. Seeing this, Rodney flies onto Bigweld with Wonderbot and attempts to fly out of the window while steering him which results with both landing onto a half-pipe.
Due to him getting hit with a phone by Ratchet, Bigweld temporarily suffers from amnesia and sings songs such as "Daisy" during their escape from the boardroom, with Rodney repairing his head while they're getting chased by security cars with giant magnets. Later in the chase, Bigweld is accidentally rolled straight into the Chop Shop by a security car hijacked by Cappy who was trying to dodge two sweepers on their way out of the main entrance. Afterwards Rodney and his friends save Bigweld from Ratchet and his mother Gasket when he was about to be dropped into the furnace. At the end, he visits Rodney's hometown and celebrates by announcing to his parents that Rodney will be working as his assistant and eventual successor at Bigweld Industries.
He appears to have a crush on Aunt Fanny, which he first expresses by wrongly answering Rodney's question at the train station when he asks why he returned to help by saying "I don't know, I'm a big guy and I like women with a large..."
