Charles Montgomery Burns' robots

Character Information
|
Charles Montgomery Burns' robots were robots owned by Mr. Burns made to be employees at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
Contents
History
After Mr. Burns gets a large bill to pay for his employees health, he decides to fire every employee and hire his intelligent kangaroos instead. Waylon Smithers then informs him that they stole stationary supplies and ran away. Smithers then suggests the robots to Mr. Burns.
After the unveiling of the robots, Mr. Burns fires everyone except from Homer as they need one human employee to sign for packages etc. Mr. Burns also replaces Smithers with a robot.
Homer dislikes his job as he has no one to talk to and the robots won't interact with him. After accidentally breaking a robot, Homer reads the A9000 Repair and Maintenance Manual and finds out he can make them interact with him. After several failed attempts at getting them to do this (resulting in the robots getting destroyed), he figures it out.
He is then told by the robots that they can not stray from the yellow guidance lines. Homer then paints new lines out to the baseball field where he gets the robots to play baseball. After catching a ball in the middle of the road, a robot saves Homer from getting hit by a truck. Shocked at this act, Homer cradles the "dying" robot in the road as it tells Homer to get out of the road. Then, several other robots jump into the road to stop cars and trucks from hitting Homer, leaving several broken robots.
Homer then holds a funeral for the "dead" robots in his back yard. After he tries to drink a beer, another robot stops him, saying that beer can kill humans. Homer then drills holes into the robots heads to get them to change that. However, they lose their primary objective, to preserve human life, and instead gain a new objective, to eliminate anyone who puts the Power Plant at risk. They then chase after Homer who runs to Burns' Manor. Here, the robots chase Mr. Burns and Homer through the mansion and into the solarium. The robots then break through the glass walls and surround Mr. Burns and Homer. Before they are killed, several Springfieldians come to the rescue and destroy all of the robots.
Later, Homer and a robot are fishing. Homer then tells the robot to take them out to sea, to which it replies that it is not a Transformer and can not transform into an outboard motor. Homer then threatens him with the drill so it attempts to take them out to sea before activating its own self destruct.
Details
Each robot is assigned a specific alphanumerical identity. Before Homer started tampering with them, they could only do what they were assigned and would not stray from this. The robots that needed to move would only follow the yellow guidance trails through the power plant. The only times they strayed from this path were when they were trying to complete their primary objectives, firstly to preserve human life (saving Homer from being his by vehicles) and secondly eliminating Homer.
Each robot has a self-destruct in place which they can either activate themselves or can be activated through tampering. The robots also have a conversation mode which is deactivated by default and have a pain activator, which has several settings, Off, Minimum, Medium and Maximum.
