When a shopping mall was covered in a strange energon mist, a cannolo was given life and became The Plop Father. He's a well-known troublemaker amongst the BotBots and tries his best to act tough. However, he is actually a coward and often leaves cannoli filling behind him as he runs from any given threat.

• Series: 1
• Level: 3 Star
• Known designers: AJ Piejko-Brown (packaging), Ryan Glantz (instruction designer)

Part of the first Series of BotBots, The Plop Father is a 1-inch tall robot who transforms into a cannolo. Whether or not it was intentional, the way The Plop Father's uni-leg is designed, makes it look like his "pants" are pulled down around his ankles, which is both hilarious and fits with the name and characterization.

The Plop Father was only available in one of the "Sugar Shocks" themed 5-packs, along with Nail Byter, Slappyhappy, Waddlepop, and Lost Bot Burgertron.

This mold was also used to make Disgusto Desserto.

This pack is a "recommended minimum buy" for a complete set of Series 1 BotBots.

Notes

• The Plop Father's name comes from the 1972 film The Godfather, in reference to the "Leave the gun, take the cannoli" scene.
• Early line-art of The Plop Father appears "inside" Clawsome's chest window, apparently as a plush version of the character available inside crane skill games, and on Driver Ted's game-screen in the "player 2" position.
• In the episode "The Lost Bots and the Claw Crusade" from the BotBots cartoon, Disgusto Desserto is misidentified as the Plop Father in the international credits.
