The Plop Father
From MediaWiki
- The Plop Father is a member of the Sugar Shocks from BotBots.
When a shopping mall was covered in a strange energon mist, a cannoli 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.
The Plop Father is a member of the Sugar Shocks, along with several other sweet and sugary BotBots, capisce?

Toys
BotBots
- Sugar Shocks (5-pack, 2018)
- Series: 1
- Level: 3 Star
- Part of the first Series of BotBots, The Plop Father is a 1-inch tall robot who transforms into a cannoli. 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
- His 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.
- According to showrunner Chris Wyatt, The Plop Father's aged cartoon appearance was based on Disgusto Desserto[1], which explains why the descriptive audio for the episode he appears in refers to him by that name. The reason we know he isn't actually Disgusto is because all international dubbing credits list him as "The Plop Father", meaning somewhere down the line it was decided the cartoon character would be the already existing male cannoli instead of genderswapping the female one.
