The Servbots, known as Kobun (コブン?) in Japan, are 41 small all-purpose robots built by Tron Bonne, each with their own personality and talent. They are loyal to the Bonne family of air pirates, and work doing several tasks, being the crew onboard the Gesellschaft and pilots of fighting machines in missions. Although Tron built 40 Servbots, 41 of them exist, with the origin of the 41th Servbot being unknown to her. The Servbots have a child-like personality and love Tron as a mother, but are often in trouble for their mistakes and are punished by her when they goof of. Their cute appearance is useful to avoid people suspecting of them. Their favorite food is Curry rice.

[edit] Mega Man Legends series
In The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Tron has the assistance of Servbots in her missions, which can make multiple tasks such as attack enemies, verify objects and bring items to Tron. After obtaining the "Red Head Parts", Tron can choose one Servbot to be her favorite, which will give a bonus to his stats and uses the Gustaff in the end of the game to rescue the Bonnes and final battle against Lex Loath aboard the Colossus, a giant Reaverbot. If no Servbot is choosen before the final stage, Servbot #1 will automatically become the favorite.
In the games Mega Man Legends, Mega Man Legends 2 and Rockman DASH: Great Adventure on 5 Islands!, the Servbots appear in scenes with the Bonnes and are enemies that fight against Mega Man Volnutt, where they use several fighting machines such as the Blumebears, Draches and Leopolds. In Mega Man Legends 2, some Servbots also fight without machines by throwing bombs. They also appear in several locations of the games, where they do several things like work in a restaurant in Kattelox Island that they open if a side-quest is completed and work in the Junk Shop of the Sulphur-Bottom.
The Servbots also appear as playable characters in the Japanese mobile phone games Rockman DASH Golf, Kobun Flies?, Kobun Punishment and Kobun Assembly.
[edit] Other appearances
[edit] Playable appearances
A Servbot is a hidden playable character in the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, and they also appear with Tron Bonne. He is one of the weakest characters in the game, but his small size makes it difficult to hit him, making him able to avoid many attacks, notably most of Abyss' second form attacks. He mainly attacks using utensils, food and the assistance of other Servbots. His most powerful attacks are Lunch Rush and King Servbot. The nickname used for him in the game suggests he is Servbot #41.
In the crossover Namco × Capcom, Servbots #1, #17 and #28 are the Servbots working with Tron, and the other Servbots work aboard the Gesellschaft with the same position from The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, having minor appearances.
[edit] Cameo appearances
- In the MegaMan Battle Network series, Servbots (called Servebots) have cameo appearances in several games and in different locations.

- They make cameo appearances in the Gesellschaft stages from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars.
- They make a cameo appearance in the horror game series "Dead Rising," another Capcom creation, as an article of clothing; a mask that resembles their heads. The protagonist is capable of wearing it.
- In Pocket Fighter, they appear in the background of the Running Battle mode with Tron.
- The Servbots appear in cards from all games of the SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters series, and have their own card in the third game.

[edit] List of Servbots
List of Servbots from The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Servbot #41 can only be obtained in the Japanese version with a special save from the magazine Dengeki G, or using a cheat device in any versions. He's the only Servbot that can upgrade all his stats to the limit without the Red Head Parts, and can't be turned into the favorite because of his blue head part.

[edit] Trivia
- Their Japanese name, "Kobun", means "henchman".
- Their name is mispelled as "Servebots" in instruction manuals and some games from the MegaMan Battle Network series.
- Servbots bear a resemblance to the Lego minifigures.
- Servbot #41 is mentioned indirectly in Mega Man Legends 2 when Servbot #20 sent a letter to Mega Man asking for him to become Servbot #42 to cheer Tron. Also, the Servbot's card from SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters DS says 41 of them exist, and the attack Lunch Rush from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 causes 40 hits when used by the Servbot and 41 hits (40 Servbots and Data) with Tron, who has one Servbot helping her, making a total of 41 Servbots.
- There are three unused skills in The Misadventures of Tron Bonne called "Steering", "Cooking" and "Lookout". Those are believed to be the skills of Servbots #11, #21, and #24, respectively.
- In Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and the mobile phone game Kobun Flies?, some Servbots are shown to have retractable propellers in their heads, which allow them to fly for a short time.
- Their most powerful attack in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Namco × Capcom is Lunch Rush, where the Servbots run fast to take their lunch, running over the opponent. Lunch Rush also appeared as a card in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters 2 Expand Edition.
- After defeating one of the evil replicas of KOS-MOS (a Namco character) in chapter 25 of Namco × Capcom, Tron suggests to create a hybrid of Servbot and KOS-MOS with the remaining parts of the copies, and Servbot #17 suggests the name "KOB-MOS" ("SER-MOS"), but Shion, the co-creator of the original, was against the idea.
