Ruby changes the last word to "Rubify" when she does the alterations (only ~~once~~twice in Rusty and the Mechanical Animal and Rusty's Spooky Adventure), and Liam changes the last word to "Liamify" when he does it (~~also~~ only once in Rusty the Vacuum Kid). ==Episodes== Line 37 ⟶ 38: ==Characters== ===Main=== Rusty Rivets (voiced by [[Kyle Harrison Breitkopf]] in Canada, and Theo Crabb-LaHei in UK) is an engineer.

Frankford is Frankie's robotic [[skunk]], best friend and counterpart to Bytes. He helps Frankie in his attempts to put Rusty out of action. Bytes (voiced by [[Robert Tinkler]]) is Rusty's robotic [[dog]], who communicates by barking. He generally does not take part in missions. Kittybot is Ruby's robotic [[cat]], who communicates by meowing. She can sit down. Ray (voiced by [[Robert Tinkler]]) is a small, red-coloured member of the Bits with a single eye that functions as a [[flashlight]].

Botasaur (voiced by [[Robert Tinkler]]) is the tallest member of Rusty's team, modeled after ''[[Tyrannosaurus\|Tyrannosaurus rex]]''. He is Rusty's sidekick. Botarilla (voiced by [[Andrew Jackson (actor)\|Andrew Jackson]]) is Rusty's robotic [[gorilla]], who can climb on trees and swing on vines. TigerBot (voiced by Nicki Burke) is Rusty's robotic [[tiger]], who can climb with her tiger claws. ElephantBot (voiced by Scott Jackson) is Rusty's robotic [[elephant]], who can spray water on his trumpet.

Officer Carl (voiced by Jonathan Potts in Canada, and Chris Garner in UK) is the only police officer in Sparkton Hills. Mrs. Rivets (voiced by [[Katie Griffin]] in US and Niki Felstead in UK) is Rusty's mother. Mrs. McCloud is Liam's mother. Mr. McCloud (voiced by [[Martin Roach]]) is Liam's father. Orbit is Rusty's satellite after he crashed into the ground and Rusty launched him back into space.▼ Ollie (voiced by Vas Saranga) is Ozzy's brother from Dino Island. Ozzy (voiced by Zach Smadu) is Ollie's brother from Dino Island. ▲Orbit is ~~Rusty's~~a satellite after he crashed into the ground and Rusty launched him back into space.
