Part of the top of his right ear is missing, and he has multiple scars and bruises across his body. His work uniform is a light blue SDN button-down shirt, dark gray slacks, and brown shoes, often with sleeves rolled up. As Mecha Man, he wears reinforced silver armor over a bluish-black suit with a matching helmet accented by yellow details. Robert is an apathetic, dry, world-weary, and brutally honest man with a sarcastic sense of humor. He is deeply isolated, having prioritized his vigilante duties over personal connections. He has seasonal depression and a passive acceptance of mortality, joking that dying in the suit is a 'family tradition.' Despite lacking superpowers, he is a skilled combatant, master hacker, and brilliant tactician. He is the grandson of the original Mecha Man (Prime) and son of Mecha Man Astral.

As Blonde Blazer, she is a tall, leggy, blonde-haired woman with blue eyes, a slender athletic build, standing slightly taller than Robert at 5'11". Her hero outfit consists of a grey skintight bodysuit with a blue sleeveless leotard, navy elbow-length gloves, thigh-high boots, a short yellow waist-length cape, a red jewel on her chest, and a blue upper-face mask. Her appearance is actually a side-effect of a magical amulet that grants her powers. As Mandy, she is much shorter, less muscular, and has brunette hair instead of blonde. She represents the 'golden age of supers' — honorably courageous with a generous spirit and corporate-approved dorkiness. She is friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and believes deeply in the Phoenix Program. Outside of work, she struggles with her superhero identity and fears no one will care who she is behind the mask. She desires to settle down and find true love. She typically avoids swearing, so when she does, people understand the gravity of the situation. She was born on August 11th in Petaluma, California.

3. #3Chase / Track Starselective

   Keys: Chase, Track Star, Star Blazer · Secondary: speed, old man, dispatcher, aging

   Chase, formerly known as Track Star, is a major character who works as an SDN dispatcher. He looks like an old man — slick-back white afro, large mustache, liver spots, forehead wrinkles, slender limbs, and a slight protruding stomach. He slouches forward most of the time and wears a yellow sweater over his SDN shirt, black khakis, and a belt with a lightning symbol. In reality, he is only 39 years old — his power to move 50 times faster than the average person causes him to age 50 times faster each time he uses it, trapping him in an elderly body. In his youth, he had braids and black hair and wore tinted sunglasses. He is often acerbic and bitter, holding a black-and-white view of heroes and villains, but can find understanding when willing to talk. He absolutely adores dogs, especially Robert's chihuahua Beef. He was the youngest member of the Brave Brigades and a close friend of Robert's father. His catchphrase is 'Keep up.' He is voiced by Jeffrey Wright.

He was once a member of the Brave Brigades who helped create the Astral Pulse. After being denied official membership repeatedly, he snapped, fought Mecha Man Astral, lost, then shot and killed him. He has a microcomputer implanted in his head that allows him to predict the most likely actions of those around him with near-clairvoyant accuracy.

To compensate, Shroud gave him two massive mechanical cybernetic arms grafted onto his shoulders. He attempts to put on a tough-guy act but proves surprisingly ineffective in combat, often crying out in pain or threatening to break others' arms.

40. #40Torrance SDN Buildingselective

    Keys: Torrance SDN, SDN office, SDN building · Secondary: office, headquarters, branch, bullpen

    The Torrance SDN is a three-story nondescript office building located at 401 Del Amo DR, Torrance, CA. The exterior is mostly glass and dark gray concrete with a blocky square design surrounding a green space courtyard. It has communication dishes and towers on the roof and the SDN logo on the side. The interior blends 90s tech with muted color palettes and some modern areas, giving a retro yet modern look. The ground floor and basement contain Royd's Lab, Gym/Rec Room, Hospital/Infirmary, and Showers. The first floor has the Lobby and Green Space. The second floor (main offices) has Blonde Blazer's Office, the Bullpen (dispatcher workspace), Breakroom, Conference Room, Holding Area, Bathrooms, and Boardroom. Before SDN, the building was a CIA prison during the Cold War. When Blonde Blazer first arrived, her office was home to an invasive colony of rats.

41. #41Crypto Night - Superhero Barselective

    Keys: Crypto Night, Crypto-Nite · Secondary: bar, superhero bar, Dopple, drinks

    Crypto Night is a bar exclusively for superheroes in Torrance. It is run by Dopple, who manages troublemakers by making duplicates of himself. When he can't handle things alone, he calls SDN for help. The bar's name is a reference to kryptonite, Superman's weakness. Despite Robert being forced to leave by the owner the night he meets Blonde Blazer, Flambae is the one actually banned — most likely for starting his confrontation with Mecha Man. It is sometimes spelled 'Crypto-Nite' in subtitles.

42. #42The Sardine - Villain Barselective

    Keys: The Sardine, Sardine · Secondary: bar, villain bar, drinks, fight

    The Sardine is a bar in Torrance that caters to villains. Despite the Z-Team members trying to remake themselves as heroes, they are still welcomed due to their notable past misdeeds. The Z-Team invites Robert here for drinks, which leads to a significant bar fight with Red Ring members. It is also where Shroud later ambushes and tortures Robert for information about the Astral Pulse. Known patrons include the Z-Team members, Robert, and various Red Ring villains like Armstrong and Lóng.

43. #43Llewelyn Steel Worksselective

    Keys: Llewelyn Steel Works, steel mill, steel works · Secondary: hideout, Red Ring, Shroud, factory

    Llewelyn Steel Works is a hideout for Shroud and the Red Ring. The lower levels serve as a weapons production facility with corridors patrolled by criminals. The uppermost level has a control room fitted with numerous monitors where Mecha Man was ambushed by Toxic and other Red Ring members. This is where Robert tracked down Shroud early in the story, only to be lured into a trap that resulted in the destruction of the Mecha Man armor.

44. #44Robert's Apartmentselective

    Keys: Robert's apartment, Robert Robertson's apartment · Secondary: home, empty, housewarming, lamps

    Robert Robertson's apartment is his sparse place of residence where he lives with Beef. It is notably empty and barren — Robert doesn't even have a bed, though Beef has a pillow. The Mecha Man suit pieces were stored here before Royd moved them to SDN. In Episode 6, the Z-Team throws a surprise housewarming party, with each member bringing a lamp as a gift. Blonde Blazer brings a full-sized sofa on one shoulder. The apartment is the setting for many key scenes including Robert's interrogation of Toxic, planning sessions, and relationship-building moments.

45. #45Astral Pulseselective

    Keys: Astral Pulse, pulse · Secondary: energy, power source, Mecha Man, Shroud

    The Astral Pulse is an energy source used to power the Mecha Man armor. It contains a Stellar Core that produces super-energized plasma through controlled fusion. Its creation is disputed — Shroud claims he invented it, Mecha Man Astral is publicly credited, but the truth is likely a collaboration: Shroud provided the science while Astral brought the engineering skills and 'secret sauce.' After Robert's battle with Shroud, the Astral Pulse was believed destroyed but was actually found and passed between criminals four times, each failing to harness its power. Royd and Robert attempted to create prototypes ('Proto Pulses') but all 19+ versions malfunctioned. Shroud desperately wants the Pulse because plugging it into his prediction algorithm implant would make him virtually omniscient. The Pulse is described as being like 'plugging a cell phone into a nuclear reactor' when used to merely power the Mecha Man armor.

46. #46Mecha Man Armorselective

    Keys: Mecha Man armor, Mecha Man suit, mech suit · Secondary: MKII, MKIII, weapons, plasma, jet

    The Mecha Man armor is a cutting-edge combat vehicle piloted by Robert Robertson III. Originally built by Bobby Robertson I (MKI) fifty years ago, it was rebuilt by Robbie Robertson II (MKII) and eventually passed to Robert III. Robert spent his entire inheritance keeping it functional. The MKII featured the Astral Pulse power source, jet boosters, a plasma gauntlet with blade and projectiles, a retractable shield, energy barrier, and net launcher. After the suit was destroyed by Shroud's ambush, Royd rebuilt and upgraded it into the MKIII at SDN, incorporating advanced technologies reverse-engineered from supervillain tech. The MKIII features twin energy blades, missile fury, cluster bombs, plasma net, plasma shield, plasma saber, a grappling hook attack called 'Get Over Here,' and a finishing move called 'Super Spirit Bomb.'

47. #47Spider Armorselective

    Keys: Spider Armor, Spider Mech · Secondary: Shroud, mecha, robot, final battle

    The Spider Armor (designation HCT-00-Z) is Shroud's personal mecha and the Red Ring's secret superweapon. It is a gigantic monstrous machine with three large legs, two large arms on top, and a set of smaller arms attached to a spherical body. Each large arm can fire powerful laser beams. It is powered by Shroud's inferior red Astral Pulse — a version that is larger, bulkier, and less refined than the original. While plugged into the Spider Armor, Shroud's prediction algorithm receives more power, giving him near-instantaneous foresight. The Z-Team struggles against it until Chase, empowered by Blonde Blazer's amulet, disables its main power source.

48. #48Cult of Ch'aadselective

    Keys: Cult of Ch'aad, Ch'aad, cult · Secondary: demon, summoning, religion, Malevola

    The Cult of Ch'aad is a new age religious movement that arrived in Torrance. According to Blonde Blazer, they are trying to summon a god or demon named Ch'aad (jokingly called 'Chad' by outsiders) to Earth, presumably to enslave humanity. Malevola, being a half-demon herself, has knowledge of the group, making her the ideal hero to deal with them. They appear as a recurring threat throughout the game, culminating in an attempted human sacrifice during the Red Ring's attack on Los Angeles.

49. #49Supers and Normiesselective

    Keys: Supers, Supes, superpowers, powers · Secondary: abilities, normies, enhanced, meta

    In the Dispatch universe, 'Supers' is a term for individuals who possess extraordinary powers and abilities. They come from diverse origins — sci-fi, fantasy, alien, demonic, magical, and technological — all considered part of everyday life. 'Normies' is a term Supers use for non-powered baseline humans. The Mecha Man lineage (Robert and his predecessors) are respected members of the super-community despite having no powers, relying on advanced armor instead. Some villains also favor technology over traditional powers, like Lightningstruck with his electric gauntlets and Shroud with his cybernetics. The 'Enhanced' are Red Ring henchmen — formerly normal humans augmented by Shroud's cybernetics. Supers who can fly are legally required to get a flyer's license.

50. #50Synergy Mechanicselective

    Keys: synergy · Secondary: pair, teamwork, boost, dispatch

    Synergy is a gameplay and lore mechanic in Dispatch. Certain hero pairs have natural chemistry that boosts their mission success rate when dispatched together. The synergy pairs are: Golem and Invisigal, Prism and Flambae, Malevola and Sonar, and Punch Up and Coupé. When one member of a pair is cut from the team, the remaining member gets a new synergy partner from the replacement hero (Phenomaman or Waterboy). Synergy levels increase from sending pairs out together, boosting success chance by 5% at level 1, 10% at level 2, and 15% at max level 3. Partners with synergy will not sabotage each other during internal conflicts.
