~ - Chip Plankton's first words |
Chip II Plankton is the son of Plankton and Karen. He appears in the episode "Karen's Baby".
He was voiced by Sirena Irwin
Appearance[]
Chip has had many difference appearances throughout his debut episode, each differing depending on what stage of life he was in. But in general, he has a blueish-silver body, a black screen, and a face made up of a neon green segment display.
When he was a baby, Chip had the appearance of a calculator. He wore a pink bonnet and was wrapped in a white blanket. By the time he was a toddler, he grew baby-like arms and legs and wore a diaper with a pink safety pin, matching his old bonnet.
When he upgraded into a child, he changed from a calculator to a payment terminal. He retains the buttons he had as a baby, but in addition, now has a red switch on the side of his head and a roll of paper on his head acting like hair.
When upgraded into a teenager, his head takes the appearance of a handheld game console, similar to the PlayStation Portable or the GameBoy Advance. He has a skinny body with skinny metalic arms and legs, a green mouth and eyes on his screen, and wears a backwards red baseball cap and neon green shoes. His buttons this time features a d-pad button and a pair of green and red buttons on the left; and a red triangular button and a pair of green and yellow buttons on the right.
When upgraded to a young adult, he becomes a mobile computer much like his mother, now sporting an orange backpack on his back.
Finally, as an adult, he takes the appearance of an ATM machine on wheels with a red necktie and a yellow name tag.
Role in episode[]
Karen orders a robot to be her and Plankton's child, much to the shock of Plankton. He tries to prevent a stork drone from delivering the baby to the Chum Bucket, but fails, and the baby is safely delivered. Karen names the baby Chip after her grandfather, while Plankton shuns the baby.
Chip soon learns to walk and eventually upgrades into a kid, so Karen takes Chip to the Fun Arcade for some entertainment. Chip goes inside one of the arcade cabinets and plays the game, though Karen gets him out when the game gets too dangerous. This causes Chip to upgrade into a rebellious teenager, who screeches static at Karen, shocking her and making her drag Chip back to the Chum Bucket.
Karen puts Chip under Plankton's care as she calms down. Plankton speaks with Chip, who tells his father what happened at the arcade. Plankton suggests that Chip runs away from home, so Chip does so. Karen notices Chip's absence as Plankton reveals Chip ran away at his advice, causing Karen to threaten Plankton and force him to find Chip.
Chip, now living in an alley, meets a group of robots who urge him to join their gang. However, Chip discovers that the gang dismantle other robots and use their parts for themselves, so he tries to run away, but is caught. As they prepare to take his parts, he sends a distress signal to Plankton, who finally becomes concerned for Chip and arrives to save his son, but is quickly overwhelmed by the robots. Chip, upon seeing his father in danger, speaks for the first time and rewires an ice cream machine and uses it to destroy the robots and save Plankton. This act earns him Plankton's full acceptance.
Chip and Plankton return to the Chum Bucket and Karen is happy to have Chip back. Plankton brags about Chip, who suddenly upgrades into a young adult, and decides to go to college and bids his parents farewell. Eight semesters later, Chip's parents secretly watch his first day at work as an ATM at First Nautical Bank, and see how he taunts their enemy Mr. Krabs by refusing to give him money. Plankton and Karen laugh at Chip's action and express their pride in him.
