The '''R.O.B. Squad'''<ref>{{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} - [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea06.html The Enemies From Subspace]</ref> is a group of enemies in [[The Subspace Emissary]] that is found exclusively on the levels taking place on the [[Isle of the Ancients]]. It could be considered a robotic counterpart to the [[Koopa Troop]].
The '''R.O.B. Squad'''<ref>{{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} - [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea06.html The Enemies From Subspace]</ref> is a group of enemies in [[The Subspace Emissary]] that is found exclusively on the [[Isle of the Ancients]] in the [[Research Facility]], the [[Subspace Bomb Factory]] and [[Outside the Ancient Ruins]]. It could be considered a robotic counterpart to the [[Koopa Troop]].


Aside from defending the Isle of the Ancients, the R.O.B. Squad served a vital role in [[Tabuu]]'s plot to conquer the [[World of Trophies]]. Whenever a [[Subspace Bomb]] is set to be detonated, a pair of R.O.B. Sentries were required to arm it, being sacrificed in the subsequent detonation. The R.O.B. Squad was initially under the command of their leader, the [[Ancient Minister]], but during an attack on the Subspace Bomb Factory, {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} took control of them, ordering them to attack the Ancient Minister. This cut scene is the only time R.O.B. Sentries can be seen using their beam firing ability. When the Isle was destroyed, the R.O.B. Squad was wiped out along with it, with only the Ancient Minister/[[R.O.B.]] surviving the ordeal.

Three types of R.O.B. constitute the R.O.B. Squad, each with their own unique design and attacks. Their trophies are collected by use of a [[Trophy Stand]].

The '''R.O.B. Blaster''' are members of the R.O.B. Squad whose color scheme is loosely based on [[R.O.B.]]'s North American design, but with a more purplish tint. Unlike the R.O.B. Sentry, the R.O.B. Blaster chooses to use [[Robo Beam|its beam firing capabilities]], attacking from afar. There are two varieties of this unit, one which remains stationary and another which moves around by hovering with [[Robo Burner|its booster rockets]]. The mobile version can be difficult to battle as it is the fastest member of the R.O.B. Squad and will attack from a distance.

The Giant R.O.B. has only one appearance in a cutscene playing before [[Outside the Ancient Ruins]]. A frightened Olimar watches his Pikmin as they fruitlessly attempt to attack the R.O.B., but it kills most of the Pikmin with its [[Arm Rotor]]. {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} then ejects from his Blue Falcon and destroys the R.O.B. with a [[Falcon Punch]].

*If the player looks in the background of many levels of The Subspace Emissary, they may be able to see a part of a R.O.B. The most common level to see them is Outside the Ancient Ruins.

*Because the R.O.B. Squad was destroyed with the [[Isle of the Ancients]], they do not appear as enemies in [[The Great Maze]], even in the areas created from the island.
