The original model, simply known as the '''Octobot King''', is first fought in the mission [[Enter the Octobot King!]] of ''[[Splatoon]]''{{'s}} [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]]. It comes equipped with [[Octorpedo]]es, disco ball-like dodecahedrons that summon enemies, a [[Killer Wail]], two robotic fists, and a massive octopus-like bomb. [[Agent 3]] must deflect the robotic fists and octopus bomb back at the Octobot King to damage him.

The second model is known as the '''Octobot King II''', and is fought in the mission [[Tide Goes Out (mission)|Tide Goes Out]] of ''[[Splatoon 2]]''{{'s}} [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]]. It has been modified to include a stage for [[Callie]] to perform on and lots of audio amplifiers. It retains the giant fists of the original model, but now comes equipped with giant versions of [[Splat Bomb]]s and [[Suction Bomb]]s, takoyaki-shaped bombs that create static tornadoes, and new speakers that function similarly to a [[Splash Wall]]. In addition, the Octobot King's fists are now capable of spinning, making them immune to being inked temporarily. Similarly, [[Agent 4]] must deflect the robotic fists back at the Octobot King.

This version has been significantly altered, now having a second level on which a brainwashed [[Callie]] stands and sings; below her is the main control. In front of the turntable and wasabi stalks is a pan cooking ''takoyaki'', which go flying as the player attacks the DJ. On the back of the machine are some exhaust pipes, which Octavio uses for his dash punch attack.

It retains its robotic fists, which are now capable of slapping and pointing. In addition to the normal and spinning punches of its previous versions, it is now also capable of slapping the ground to produce a [[Wave Breaker]]-like shockwave, similarly to an [[Amped Octostamp]]. The front speakers now double up as vents and an [[Ink Vac]], with the most prominent feature being its ability to transform between both bipedal and flying forms.

DJ Octavio in the original Octobot King

The Octobot King is a spherical robotic device and one of the Great Octoweapons, piloted by DJ Octavio in his boss fights. It has made appearances throughout the Splatoon series with various different models.

Appearances

Splatoon

The original model, simply known as the Octobot King, is first fought in the mission Enter the Octobot King! of Splatoon's Octo Valley. DJ Octavio sits inside of this flying machine powered by the Great Zapfish, and it is equipped with a pool of purple ink and a turntable, which he plays using rhizomes of wasabi. The turntable also has four cannons capable of firing Octorpedoes on the front, two extendable fists and a set of thrusters allowing it to fly. Surrounding the machine is a large, magenta-colored force field, which neither Agent 3 nor their ink can pass through. It is only visible when close to the machine, as a warning to the player that they need to push it back to a comfortable distance. It also comes equipped with disco ball-like dodecahedrons that summon enemies, a Killer Wail, and a massive octopus-like bomb. Agent 3 must deflect the robotic fists and octopus bomb back at the Octobot King to damage him.

Splatoon 2

The second model is known as the Octobot King II, and is fought in the mission Bomb Rush Blush of Splatoon 2's Octo Canyon. This version has been significantly altered, now having a second level on which a brainwashed Callie stands and sings; below her is the main control. In front of the turntable and wasabi stalks is a pan cooking takoyaki, which go flying as the player attacks the DJ. On the back of the machine are some exhaust pipes, which Octavio uses for his dash punch attack. The two giant fists are now gold and sparkly and have brass knuckles on them, with black letters on them that read "TACO" on the left fist, and "OCTA" on the right. It also is equipped with giant versions of Splat Bombs and Suction Bombs, takoyaki-shaped bombs that create static tornadoes, and new speakers that function similarly to a Splash Wall. In addition, the Octobot King's fists are now capable of spinning, making them immune to being inked temporarily. Similarly, Agent 4 must deflect the robotic fists back at the Octobot King.

Splatoon 3

The third model is known as the Octobot King L3.Gs and is in the mission of the same name in Splatoon 3's Return of the Mammalians. It retains its robotic fists, and in addition to the normal and spinning punches of its previous versions, it is now also capable of slapping the ground to produce a Wave Breaker-like shockwave. The front speakers now double up as vents and an Ink Vac, with the most prominent feature being its ability to transform between both bipedal and flying forms.

The Octobot King L3.Gs is not powered by the Great Zapfish, unlike its predecessors. This is the in-universe explanation for why its fight (as the first boss of Return of the Mammalians) is less challenging than the fights with the previous two versions (as the final bosses of their respective campaigns), as Cuttlefish's dialogue after the fight indicates. This could also explain why its armaments are less complex, and why it only flies in short bursts while fighting as opposed to constantly hovering.

Additionally, at the end of the story, it is further modified to be capable of flying through space in its flight form, as well as use a new brushroll-styled Ink Vac, which is further equipped with a turret. DJ Octavio uses it to rescue Agent 3 from space, and teams up with the New Squidbeak Splatoon to use it to defeat Mr. Grizz in the Return of the Mammalians battle.

Trivia

  • All models of the Octobot King are loosely modeled on a disco ball.
  • The name of the Octobot King L3.Gs resembles the word LEGS, and is a joking reference to the fact that this Octobot King has legs while the prior versions do not.
