| Week | Clue |
|---|---|
| 1 | “Ladies and gentlemen, androids and humanoids. I am Retro Robot! My parts may be holy but I'm hard-wired to take on bots of all shapes and sizes. I was created in the wild-west but I've since made the hard drive to a new hometown. My road hasn't been without its potholes and I've made some enemies along the way. Many have tried to push my buttons and give me the blues. But I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I'm just focusing on me. Tonight, I'm not looking for your cache money, I just want the people's support!” |
| “I was built in a time when a Kiwi Princess reigned supreme.” | |
| 3 | “From a young age, I was wired to lead. At high school, I was proud to become the head bot. And from there I took on as much data as I could. Reprogramming myself at world famous workshops. Riddles aside, I do have a confession to make. It's true, I'm no professional performer and I may not have the best algo-rhythm. But I'm not worried. I've been faced with swarms of people my whole career.” |
| 6 | “Kia ora humans, it's your favourite retro robot. Tonight, the ball may not be in my court Aotearoa. But it hasn't always been this way. On the first of my whakapapa to lead in my circuit. And while I try to keep my precious metals out of the rain, it's always sunny in the bay. It is here where I first sparked success and played with the big-bots. And I've been marching to the beat of my own drum ever since. I may be new to the show, but this is not the first time I've been challenged by others. I've had some tough times in my career. But pulling the plug takes the cake. But I'm not one to sit on my robottom. Tonight, my batteries are fully charged and I'm ready to lose myself in the music!” |
| “I'm hoping to write any wrongs from last week's performance.” |
