History[]
Chatterbox is a character in the Starlord and 2000 AD strip Ro-Busters. He used to be a 'sky spy' and was on sale in 'Flash' Harry Lowder's robo-mart in 2078 AD with Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein. Just as he was about to be eaten by Mek-Quake because nobody wanted to buy him, he was purchased by Howard Quartz and ordered to work for his international rescue organisation, Ro-Busters. The good news was that his new friends Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein, who got quite fond of their talkative pal, came with him. The bad news was that so did Mek-Quake, who basically viewed Chatterbox as a flying canapé.
One of Chatterbox's first missions entailed diving into the North Sea and sending back photos of a crashed submarine. When the situation got sticky and it was thought that Chatterbox had perished, Quartz's response was, "Oh, well — he was just a robot." Fortunately, Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein extracted him from the mud on the seabed, and Chatterbox lived to spy another day.
