Reverend Lionel Preacherbot (or simply the Preacherbot) is a minister of the Temple of Robotology.

Personality

Preacherbot's personality is that of a stereotypical evangelist. In spite of his claims of strict faith, however, he has been known to sin on several occasions. Although he alleges to resent robosexuality as the work of the devil, he seems to be a closeted robosexual himself (6ACV04).

Biography

Preacherbot, preaching The Good Book 3.0 (1ACV09).

Preacherbot works in the Temple of Robotology as a minister, and also performs baptisms, weddings and funerals (2ACV18), even for those who are not of his religion, or for that matter robots at all.

He had a brief acting career, appearing in All My Circuits and Coilette: A Calculon Story (4ACV13). In 3010, Preacherbot hosted Camp Rectifier, where he exposed his closeted robosexuality (6ACV04).
