History[]
Ginger is a character from the 2000 AD strip Ro-Busters. He was a taxi robot who wound up in prison after accidentally killing his rider one shift. Whilst there Ginger met fellow robots Mad Jock and Ro-Jaws. Eventually Ginger and Ro-Jaws were released and parted ways shortly after finding work, the two briefly encountering one another several times over the years. Sadly for Ginger however, his cruel owner decided to scrap him and sell his most valuable body parts.
Many years later, Ginger went and sought out Ro-Jaws shortly before Howard Quartz orchestrated the collapse of Ro-Busters. Ginger accompanied Ro-Jaws, Hammerstein and the other ex-Ro-Busters escapees until he finally found refuge on the free robot planet of Saturn Six.
