Name: Nano
Gender: Male
Species: Sentient Robot
Age: Unspecified
Universe: 2003 Cartoon
Time Period: Season 5: Membership Drive
History:
For basic information: tmnt.wikia.com/wiki/Nanobot
Nano was the name given to a mechanical vessel made up of billions of highly advanced, molecular-sized machines capable of reassembling and self-replication. Since these nanites processed thoughts and actions as a collective, they were typically identified as a single entity.
As an experiment of a government project, the nanites were still very much a “work-in-progress” (although highly advanced) and their tendency to personify was immediately frowned upon. Dr. Marion Richards (one of the scientists involved in the project) was unhappy with the fact that the nanites were acting “child-like” than mechanical, believing it to be a glitch. But it seemed she had underestimated the nanites’ shrewdness as they reassembled themselves with the mechanical parts provided to bore a hole through a glass chamber and escape.
Their curiosity then led him to Harry Parker, the con-artist whom they had programmed Nano to call “Daddy”, after observing a kid on the street pleading to his father to get him a toy. It was also their accidental exposure to television commercials and sitcoms that had convinced the nanites to pursue an idealised concept of the “happy family”.
In the episode of Modern Love—The Return of Nano, the robot was inspired by a family sitcom he was watching to rescue his “Daddy” from prison. To complete the picture, he had also kidnapped Dr. Richards to be his “Mommy” but the little family reunion didn’t go as well as Nano expected. Seeing that his “parents” were panicking and arguing with each other, he then urged them to stay happy by threatening bodily harm.
So Nano was in many ways like a child trapped inside a robot’s body, lost in a world undeserving of the superior technology he was. The nanites were built to work so systematically, they seemed incapable of accepting change. They designed Nano to be relentless in his pursuit of happiness and would not hesitate to destroy anything (or anyone) that was in the way. Due to this “desire” for contentment and acceptance, Nano had been manipulated, lied to and taken advantage of by the very people whom he considered as “family”.
He was defeated many times over and had gone through several incarnations. Yet his quest for seeking out the “perfect family” remained strong.
In the episode Membership Drive, Baxter Stockman had managed to retrieve the surviving nanobots from a mechanical wreckage in an amusement park and attempted to re-programme the nanites with a micro chip device he had invented.
The infected nanobot started replicating itself, causing an internal conflict with the unaffected nanites. And while struggling to keep his “sanity”, Nano wreaked havoc on the streets again before seeking help from the Justice Force.
The nanites were eventually cured and restored back to its original state after Michelangelo and Leonardo used a superhero’s shrinking belt to locate and destroy the micro chipped nanobot inside the robot’s body. Nano then thanked the Turtles and the Justice Force, apologising for the damage he had caused due to his mechanical instability and “lack of maturity”.
Nano had been with the Justice Force ever since.
Personality:
Although Nano has grown wiser since he joined the Justice Force, he continues to hold on to his child-like innocence and can be too inquisitive for his own good. On the positive side, his innate longing for answers has contributed to the wealth of knowledge he has about the human world. He is rather intrigued by them and has long tried to mimic their traits to feel loved and accepted.
He now knows that not all humans can be trusted so he remains close to his group of superhero friends, including Turtle Titan (Michelangelo), whom he deeply respects.
Despite how dangerous he could be when angered, he is still the robot with a heart because of his ability to sympathise with human emotions despite having difficulties with expressing his own.
Nano loves TV and watches it religiously; mainly sitcoms and soap operas since he’s very much fascinated by the melodrama and tragedy involved.
He is spiritual in his own special way as he spends much of his time contemplating his existence and finds great purpose in what he does by compensating for the casualties and damage he’s caused in the past.
He maintains loyalty to the Justice Force and has sworn to protect the city and its citizens. As a vigilante, he is not liked by many, especially when he had been a menace many times before. Still he seeks for a chance to redeem himself, to finally be able to find peace and a place where he truly belongs...
Strengths:
[Physical]
• Incredibly strong, since nanites are able to reshape their mechanical body in any way they want and can replicate, and multiply rapidly.
• Nanites can also survive without the aid of mechanical parts; they travel in swarms.
• Has the ability to fly.
[Emotional]
• Chivalrous; fiercely loyal and selfless towards the ones he cares about.
• Astute; a keen observer of the human condition. He understands human emotions despite not having the capability to express his own; sentient.
Weaknesses:
[Physical]
• Nanites are vulnerable to extreme heat.
• Nanites can also be shut down by electromagnetic pulse. (As seen in the episode of Modern Love—The Return of Nano in which Donatello sends out an electromagnetic pulse through the roller coaster tracks and shuts the robot down.)
• When nanites are stranded from their collective, they become “unmotivated”; needs to be re-programmed although memories of past events would still be intact.
[Emotional]
• Temperamental; most likely to throw an earth-shattering tantrum when upset.
• Although a highly-advanced robot, he could easily be influenced by others.
• Gullible; although wary of others outside of his “family circle”, Nano is still too trusting of people.
• An attention-seeker and always seeking to please someone.
• Clingy; if he likes you, he’s not going to let you go. If he does, be very prepared for point No.1.
Appearance:
As a member of the Justice Force, he maintains a very “heroic” appearance: muscular body, shiny armour, with in-built laser weapons and glowing eyes. When he is not fighting crime, he goes for a more conspicuous look (to keep from being spotted by civilians), appearing more child-like, and less intimidating.
