Revision as of 18:13, 31 January 2016
Count Dracula is a vampire (and sometimes a robot). The novel he is the title character of, Dracula, was written in 1897 by human author Bram Stoker. The novel also features a character called Van Helsing, a vanquisher of vampires, who should not be confused with Simon Belmondo.
The robotic Dracula is capable of transforming into a giant vampire bat, though in robot-mode he appears quite dashing and dapper, dressed in a metallic red and black suit and boasting a metallic spit curl. His giant fangs seem to imply that he might vant to suck your blood, whilst shouting blah! and such.
