-Dr. Drob, the "rewritten" version of Ian Droid seeking to apply a job at Jerry's Bait Shop | ||
Drob Drobdroian, also known as Ian Droid Revision #2, Dr. Infinite Draft, is a failed T-1000 and minor character made in some unknown point in the future and later reactivated in the 5730s that was sent back in time to kill 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴ers. Being an unsold toy created at BNL and convinced by USER™ BNL mastermind Ken Penders, who as a result of his unfinished cut story-lines for the Fanboy & Chum Chum Comic Universe which was shut in the Retard Room for a very long time. Ken Penders stated in an interview that he came up with Ian Droid's new name and design by ripping off SMG4 and typing down random shit on a chatgpt prompt. He would later return as a minor antagonist seeking to create an army of bootleg characters and failed rip-offs including the infamous Centergriffin. He would show up in Phase 2 of the Freaky Saga right after CommanderNemex and Ken Penders shit OC waifu, Monika, was deleted by Freakystian in 2017 in the Waifu Games Arc. He was shoved into the narrative as a failsafe for his partnership with Satan once Penders plans to ruin Bob Bobowski to make Waluigi mad were foiled.
Concept and Initial Conception
Ken's Rejected Plans for the Masturbation Dairies
| “ | This character is awful, I'd rather have the Dr. Droid from the Disney cartoon, Ian Droid is not making it into Fanboy & Chum Chum Bible. Your reapplication to get back on Nickelodeon has been denied. I bet you can try working for Jerry's Bait Shop over there, they would accept anyone even a half baked metahuman character like you. | ” |
-The BNL staff rejecting Ian Droid as a concept years after Ken Penders was fired from Archie. | ||
On October 14, sometime years after the conclusion of SATAM in the 90s Saga, Ken Penders conceived a plan to introduce a new overarching antagonist to succeed Dr. Eggman at the end of Phase 1. This villain, adapted from his earlier one-off story The Lost Ones, was meant to be a cosmic-level threat with reality-bending ambitions, though Penders left the character’s ultimate goals deliberately vague and left the character with no name in the actual issue. He attempted to persuade SEGA to adopt this figure—a character named Ian Droid who was a derivative copy of Dr. Robotnik but with a grand, 9D multidimensional strategy. The Sonic Live comic in particular hinted at these broad, cosmic stakes. The ideas were vague, with names and final design never nailed down, the name Ian Droid is really a placeholder as it does not appear in the actual issue that was cut from the narrative. Penders called him during his rejected notes, "a future version of Dr. Eggman or a new antagonist fought after a time-skip with Knuckles at the fore-center to fulfill a prophecy."

Hey Anons, I’ve got some troubling news for DDLC fans. Apparently, the next project in this universe is being overseen by none other than Ken Penders under the working title, the Masturbation Diaries. This next entry is going to be complete shit because the story is going to be one of those boring plotless creepypastas that normies eat up.
>Ive Laster is Ian Droid / Ivan Kintobor → a mashup of fictional names from different universes Penders worked on (Sonic’s “Kintobor,” and an invented sci-fi sounding alias)
>Born 6/6/06 → classic horror/ARG trope that feels like fake fanfiction to give a sinister “666” birthdate.
>Experiments on children → a common trope in dark fan-made ARGs to create an ominous villain backstory.
According to other abandoned Penders concepts, this villain’s scheme required the heroes to break free from fiction itself and cross into reality, tying into the broader Knuckles and Lara-Su arcs and a hazy, mythic prophecy that foretold Knuckles must train relentlessly to defeat the ultimate foe. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Penders reportedly tried to shoehorn the same failed character through multiple aliases in rejected scripts—such as “Anonymous” and “Ivan Kintobor,” a poorly conceived ancient relative of Robotnik who was bizarrely said to be born on 06/06/06 and destined to end the world. Ivan was based on his negative experiences with meeting Colonel Miles Quaritch in person during his time of working for the US Air Force as he had seen his N-A-V-I project (N-A-V-I is Ivan spelled backwords) and then one day dreamed about using his technology to become an Echidna on Mobius and be the father to Knuckles, while Ian Droid was based on his negative fan commenter named Ian Flynn who could not shut the hell up about his ideas to add upon Ken's work. In short, “Ian Droid” became a textbook example of how not to write a compelling antagonist with vague stakes, badly written story structure, and forced prophecies guiding the reader into a conflict that could only end in nothing more than boredom fuel due to the villain not only having a lame name, but also having a grand plan that makes him forced.
The planned issue, Sonic Super Special #7, was ultimately scrapped and reportedly destroyed by the Lost Media keeper himself Clockman, who really disliked the script. Before he burnt the script, 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂𝓑𝓸𝓫 would transform the script into 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂cooties to infect Dr. Wily's son and turn him into the 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴ture, Dr. Regal, to forever mess with Ken Penders and his unfinished drawings for the character haunting him for good as well as Dr. Wily who now had a son infected with 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂cooties. Later, other writers in the “CrösS;OVEr” universe were tasked with reworking the concept entirely, turning it into a crossover where Sonic teams up with Image Comics characters to battle a major threat—this time actually using the established cast of both universes with characters from Invincible being at the forecenter of a completely different conflict written by Fleetway during the 00s Saga. Ken Penders would try again being laid off from Archie Comics as they shut down the Sonic Comics after getting low sales in the 90s, but this time he would use the Fanboy and Chum Chum Comic Universe within the site, Skullgirlz.wiki. However, he had to think about the name of his antagonist as he had barely convinced him the first time as he had finally gotten his new story concepts set, however as before Penders never really liked doing the work himself wanting to be a Hollywood Producer instead. Much later, the character Ive Laster (a name clearly not nodding to Ivan Kintobor) was created, he had no design, but he had some ideas for his new project and would add them in his planned narrative, the Masturbation Diaries, which could be hinted by the in game character Yuri within Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!
He would then resort to his next plan, plagiarism. Initially attempting to ruin a beloved character known as Bob Bobowski to push forward his Lost Ones scripts, and so the new character known as Drob Drobdroian was born. Ken Penders really wanting to see the Lost Ones succeed as a franchise created a set of unshipped toys located at a warehouse at an unknown location for BNL. Drob Drobdroian would then come out of the toys factory seeking to find his creator and bargain with Ken Penders. Drob Drobdroian had a dream to make reality, he would seek to make his masters unfinished scripts a reality, by plotting to kill Knuckles once and for all. Drob Drobdroian gets dreams of himself controlling a custom made version of the Death Egg Robot along with C.O.G.S. Robotnik (SATAM Robotnik) and Dr. Eggman (SNOOP PINGAS EGGMAN) fulfilling his role as a major antagonist to prove to his BNL creators that his script was worthy of being created. The reality of Drob Drobdroian is that he is a massive loser that not a single toy, toon, metahuman, or person would ever take seriously. Years later, Ian Droid in all of fake names would be wiped out entirely in favor for a new villain that was just a lazy copy-paste of an alternate version of Xehanort inspired by JRPG stories like Neir, but with Mike Myers rewriting him to be a comedic exaggeration of the character, the result was a new character known as Master Darkxtra who would be paired with Thannos.

Biography
Part 2X
Act 1
Back to the Past Arc
It is WWIII and Drob is glowing black, he is ready to use time travel to create a new world line. Everyone from the Time Paradox Avoidance Enforcement Squadron falls into a random time portal that nobody remembers creating. Drob immediately claims he planned it, which convinces absolutely no one. Half the group argues over butterfly-effect rules while the other half raids prehistoric snack stands. A suspiciously modern jukebox shows up in the Cretaceous Period for no reason. The arc ends when they all just… walk back through the portal like it’s a revolving door. All of a sudden Dr. Drob is in the 1930s Saga and is now unemployed. He tries to beg FDR for some NEETBUX, it doesn't work, so he remains unemployed for 80 years. It is now the 2010s and everyone knows he is a loser. He soons discovers his creator and a toyline from BNL related to Fanboy & Chum Chum, Ken Penders and tries to reason with him. Everyone ignores him.
Runeforge Arc
Someone mutters the word “rune,” and suddenly it’s a plot. Drob finds a glowing rock and insists it’s a “world-ending catalyst for his 9D chess plan to kickstart the future war,” though it mostly lights up like a cheap nightlight. There’s a forge somewhere in a mountain, but nobody ever lights it because matches are “too mainstream.” A wizard shows up, gives vague advice, and leaves before anyone can ask questions. By the finale, everyone agrees the runes are decorative and goes home. Dr. Drob gets a new rune sword and a nice rifle. He then stabs a lolcat to grab weapon.
BNL Revolt Arc
The underpaid BNL staff finally snap and demand hazard pay for all the failed toy experiments. Drob tries to lead the revolution but keeps stopping for selfie breaks. C.O.G.S. Inc fights back with strongly worded memos and a conference room with the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. After two days, both sides forget what they were mad about and order pizza. The arc concludes with a shrug and a group photo nobody frames.
Penders Problems Arc
Ken Penders enters like a boss battle but mostly complains about contract rights. He waves a pile of mysterious “lost scripts” that are just blank paper with coffee stains. Drob pretends to be his intern but spends the entire time hiding snacks in the paperwork. Legal threats fly, then fizzle when everyone realizes no one actually wants the rights. The scene ends with Penders wandering off to start a podcast no one listens to.
Centergriffin Arc
A giant bird-lion-whatever crashes through a ceiling seeking to help Dr. Drob destroy Jerry's Bait Shop, shedding feathers that cause mild allergies. Drob brags that it’s his new “ultimate hybrid ally,” though it mostly squawks and steals french fries. The 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 SUSiety! try to trap it but get distracted taking selfies with its glittery tail. Local news calls it “just a big chicken” and loses interest. Eventually it gets made into a meal, making Dr. Drob angry because the NPCs secretly wanted food as well.
The Rip-Off War Arc
Every character sues every other character for blatant plagiarism in a courtroom made of cardboard. Drob represents himself and spends the trial quoting random Wikipedia pages. The judge quits halfway through and is replaced by a confused mall Santa. No rulings are ever made, but everyone claims moral victory anyway. The arc wraps with a war between bootlegs and corporate products. No one wins so the 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 SUSiety! tries to stop Santa from making toys for BNL.

Trivia
- Despite being Based on Ian Droid as well as Bob from SMG4, he is a completely different character as Ken Penders was unable to get most of his concepts made for being complete shit in Fanboy & Chum Chum Bible's narrative.
- When the Bait Shop would be destroyed by the Centergriffin and him, the 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 SUSiety! would later rebuild the shop in a more 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 image.
- The idea to make fun of Ian Droid came from a shit fanfic with some interesting yet poorly written concepts on Spacebattles called Archie Sonic Frontiers, a what if scenario where Archie Comics adapts the Sonic Frontiers storyline. In the story, Ian Droid crossovers with Invincible and gets smacked in the face by a random background character.
- Even Scientist Vil Evil is a better character
- Ian Droid who is also this guy is canonically the weakest character in all of Fanboy & Chum Chum Bible. Even Dexter Fishery fills him with dread just by walking.
