Skymax

Sign in to edit

The Skymax protocol consists of six helper robots created by Hiro Hamada. The original Skymax first appeared in "Mr. Sparkles Loses His Sparkle".

Despite being six individual bots, they are always collectively referred to as the singular, Skymax.

Background[]

When Hiro realized that Big Hero 6 sometimes took too long to gear up and arrive to wherever help is needed, he started working on a more effective way to have their armors ready but suffered inventor's block and couldn't come up with a proper working solution. One of his inventions was the Voice Integrated Command system (nicknamed "VIC" by Fred), but it backfired and Hiro kept working without a clear idea.

Upon finding out that Mr. Sparkles abducted Mochi and planned to launch him to the sun out of jealousy after a video of Mochi had surpassed Sparkles' web show in views, Hiro started to build Skymax using parts from Ping Pong Bot and VIC while the rest of his friends accepted Sparkles' challenge to participate in his show for a chance to save Mochi, while Baymax distracted Aunt Cass and prevented her from learning that Mochi was in danger.

Although Go Go completed the obstacle challenge, Mr. Sparkles didn't keep his word and launched Mochi to space in a rocket while he made his escape, but Hiro arrived just in time with Skymax, who saved Mochi and brought him back to the team's hands. With Skymax, Hiro unknowingly overcame his inventor's block as he quickly decided to use the bot to transport the team's suits.

Soon, individual Skymax bots were built for each team member, making the delivery of suits easier for everyone.

Appearance[]

The Skymax bots have a rocket-like compact body. They have retractable arms that expand when needed. They can store things inside their chests, including living things like Mochi. They have small heads with a single "eye" that can be detached from the body.

The original Skymax was colored grey, but when Hiro created the six different robots they were painted different colors featuring a symbol imprinted on their chests, each one representing their respective Big Hero 6 member.

  • Hiro: Purple Microbot symbol.
  • Baymax: Red with his own face as a symbol.
  • Go Go Tomago: Yellow mag-lev disc symbol.
  • Honey Lemon: Pink chem-ball symbol.
  • Wasabi: Green plasma blade symbol.
  • Fred: Blue monster eye symbol.

Personality[]

Skymax is remote-controlled and has more limited programming than Baymax, therefore cannot speak. Still, it is sentient to some degree, as the original shook its head in denial when Fred asked if it could wash their suits, and Hiro's Skymax stared at him when he accidentally called it "Baymax"[1].

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Flight: Skymax was designed to fly quickly in order to save Mochi. Hiro found use in this and kept the robot to deliver their suits.
  • Storing capability: Skymax can store objects that aren't too big inside the pod bodies, keeping them safe and transporting them.

History[]

Season 1[]

After Fred, Honey Lemon and Wasabi failed to beat Mr. Sparkles' challenge to release Mochi, Go Go was the last challenger who tried despite Sparkles' efforts to stop her but she succeeded and the vengeful Sparkles still launched the rocket that contained the cat to space before escaping himself. Hiro, fortunately, arrived at the last moment, sending the remote-controlled Skymax up to save Mochi. The newly made robot flew quickly and with Hiro's commands, took Mochi from the rocket and put him inside its body until it returned to the ground, bringing the cat back to the team safely.

Later, Hiro decided to reprogram Skymax so that it could deliver their super-suits to them when needed, and properly introduced the robot to the rest of the team, demonstrating its use by showing Fred's suit stored inside even though the suit had a bad smell. Fred asked Skymax if it could also wash the suits, but Skymax shook its head negatively.

Though Skymax is absent in most following episodes, it's revealed that it got an upgrade and comes back in "Kentucky Kaiju". Now, instead of a single Skymax, there were six bots that carried a suit each, being coded with each member's respective main armor color and their emblem.

In "Big Hero 7", Richardson Mole lies to Fred about being a friend of Big Hero 6, so Fred calls his Skymax out of compulsion to prove Richardson is a liar. However Fred quickly realizes his mistake about giving away the whole team's identities and tells Skymax to leave, but it's too late as Richardson threatens to reveal their identities unless he is allowed in the team. Eventually, Richardson gets electrocuted and loses his memory about knowing the heroes' secret identities, much to the team's relief.

For their next appearance in "Big Problem", Hiro had upgraded Big Hero 6 with "Ultra Armors" to fight Orso Knox, an investor that somehow had mutated into a monster. They learned that the beast would attack an SFIT gala, so Hiro, Honey Lemon and Go Go attended the event with normal clothing while Fred, Wasabi and Baymax, already in their gear, waited for Knox to show up. When the monster arrives, Skymax is called in to deliver the remaining members' new gear.

Hiro's Skymax appears in "Steamer's Revenge" when Hiro creates new underwater armors for himself and Baymax, then calls Skymax to deliver the diving suits so he could foil Baron Von Steamer's plan of sucking up the water of San Fransokyo and using it to blast the city.

All six Skymax pods are called in "Obake Yashiki" when the team finds out that Noodle Burger Boy was stealing shipment crates after they had just left a Halloween haunted house attraction.

In "Countdown to Catastrophe", Skymax is called three times: first Hiro calls his own bot while he was working on an energy amplifier, but got too distracted and the rest of his team needed him to fight Globby, Noodle Burger Boy and the Buddy Guards.

Later, Globby, Noodle Burger Boy and Momakase attack at the SFIT during an exposition, so Fred calls Skymax to bring their suits.

Then, Obake steals Hiro's amplifier and reprograms Baymax, so Hiro had to call his Skymax as a temporary flight replacement, with Skymax taking him to a lighthouse where the amplifier was used to power Obake's deadly machine. With the help of Skymax, Hiro managed to take his invention back, although the machine had become self-sustaining so Big Hero 6 had to find another way to stop it.
