Slave-Master's robot

The Slave-Master of Darkon runs a tight ship and so needs a loyal crew. As a result, he has a squadron of semi-autonomous warrior robots.

Fiction

One robot was dispatched to Earth, where it found a probe with a strange mechanism. It decided to take it away for inspection. Issue 5 While it carried the probe away, the "mechanism" – actually the cat Humph – suddenly lurched out, causing a human child to demand its safe return. Issue 6 The robot turned on the boy and advised it to surrender. While Humph was distracted, the robot beamed itself and Matt up to its ship. Issue 7

The robot, or one like it, took Matt to the Slave-Master. Issue 10 A robot also expressed its concern to the Slave-Master about the captive cat, feeling "troubled in [its] sensors". The Slave-Master told it to cease its fears, as once they got to Darkon, the Earthlings would bring a high price... provided they survived. Issue 13
