What does Robo's voice sound like, anyway?
Cause I always assumed it would be like some sorta Clark Gable voice except spoken through a walkie-talkie.

I really don't know and this is the detail I fear most when it comes to moving Robo to other media.
I've been saying since the beginning that Timothy Hutton as Archie Goodwin in A&E's Nero Wolfe Mysteries captures Robo's attitude perfectly. Archie is timeless, infinitely confident, infinitely energetic, already tired of whatever wrong-doing he's presented with, quick with a retort, and yet there's a gravity born of all the tragedies he's seen. Tone down the accent a little, distort the voice a smidge, and you may have something there.

I think he made mention of this a few months ago, something about an Atomic Robo movie.
It isn't a whole lot to go on but for a breakout comic I can only imagine how exciting/scary it is for you, Brian, whatever media it goes to.

When it comes to Robo's voice, I picture it something like The T-1000 from Terminator 2, mixed in with a metallic filter.
But again that's me. |

I figure he'd outfit himself with new speakers every so often as audio technology progresses and they become available, so he'd probably sound less and less distorted the older he grows.

That makes sense from a human perspective, but from Robo's perspective, is it distortion? To him it's just how his voice sounds.

I was watching the old '60s Spider-Man cartoon the other day and I started thinking that Spidey's voice in that is what Robo should sound like. I read him that way in the latest issue and it worked okay.
Though I kinda like to think that he has a 1920s New York accent.

He's gotta have some kind of New York accent.
