About the Bzots Band
The Bzots story is about three robots who used to work in big factories for a company called Globocrud. Globocrud was a very strict place. But these robots had a dream: they wanted to be a music band! So, they escaped from the factories to follow their dream.
There are three main members in the Bzots band:
- Skree plays the guitar.
- Bdonk plays the bass guitar.
- Wkewke is the DJ.
Each robot has a funny habit. Skree loves playing guitar solos and can't stop! Bdonk sometimes gets confused easily. Wkewke often starts doing awesome record scratching at unexpected times. When the Bzots play live shows, they have a group of hip-hop dancers called the Bzettes who perform with them.
The characters look a bit like cool toy figures. Their music style is sometimes compared to artists like Beck and They Might Be Giants.
Meet the Characters
Skree
Skree is a yellow robot who plays the guitar. He used to be a welding robot. He has cool flame designs on him.
Wkewke
Wkewke's name is pronounced wiki wiki. He is a green robot who used to paint things. Now, he's the calm and steady DJ for the band.
Bdonk
Skree and Wkewke actually built Bdonk from a pile of old scrap metal! He plays the bass guitar and is a bit like a child. He might seem simple, but sometimes he knows more than Skree and Wkewke.
Oil Change Guy
The Oil Change Guy is a good friend of the Bzots. He lives and works in a garage outside of Phantburg. He lets the Bzots live in his garage and gives them free oil changes.
Sue Oliphant
Sue is a big fan of the Bzots band. She always invites them to play at her parties, but she never tells them where she lives!
Exalted Sir Cleve Crud, Ph.D., Esq., CEO, Globocrud LLC

The Agents
The Bzots are chased by a group of agents, like Agents 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. They wear dark suits and sunglasses, a bit like characters from the movie The Matrix. Their job is to catch the Bzots and bring them back to the Globocrud factories. These agents are in charge of Agent 17.
Agent 17
Agent 17 is a special field agent who looks like a giant spark plug. He stays in touch with the other agents and does what they tell him to do.
The Kids
Globocrud's factories have many kids working in them. Even though we don't see them working, it's thought that these kids helped the Bzots escape from the factory.
The Products
The products made by Globocrud don't like the Bzots. They often make fun of the Bzots while the robots are working hard.
