Basic Trope: A robot character is cute.
- Straight: B.O.B. is a robot who has a cute design.
- Exaggerated:
- B.O.B.'s design is so cute to the point of being saccharine.
- Every robot has a cute design.
- Downplayed: B.O.B. is sort of cute, but not completely cute.
- Justified: B.O.B.'s inventor wanted him to have a cute design so people would trust him more.
- Inverted: B.O.B. is a completely ugly or fear-inducing robot.
- Subverted: B.O.B.'s design isn't cute, instead being more serious and ready for battle.
- Double Subverted: It turns out that B.O.B. is an AI that can control multiple machines, and that the serious-looking body is just for battle. His main body is cute.
- Parodied: B.O.B.'s design isn't really cute, yet everyone acts like it is and reacts with anger when anyone disagrees.
- Zig Zagged: B.O.B. has an identity crisis, and can't decide if he wants to be cute or serious, switching between the two bodies depending on his mood.
- Averted: B.O.B.'s inventor decides not to give him a cute design.
- Enforced: "You need to make B.O.B. more cute to increase profitability and ticket sales!"
- Lampshaded: "Your inventor must be a pretty soft guy to give you that appearance..."
- Invoked: B.O.B.'s inventor wants to make their robot as marketable and popular as possible, so he deliberately makes him cute to do so.
- Exploited: B.O.B. uses his cute appearance to manipulate others and do bad things without punishment.
- Defied: B.O.B. doesn't want to be cute, and tries to make himself look serious. This may or may not succeed, or even make him more cuter depending on the execution.
- Discussed: "B.O.B.'s inventor KNEW what they were doing when they made him look so adorable!" "I know, right? Whether it be money, marketability, or even other intentions... yeah."
- Conversed: "I wonder why some media creators design their robots to look cute and others serious... I prefer cute." "Personally, I prefer serious. I love to see action!"
