Sprocket’s got Talent!

A lame joke and some half cyborg half poptropican dance is no match for Sprocket the Robot’s mighty capabilities. Can Binary Bard shoot his jester hat into the air? Pluck out one eyeball and use it to scan things? Even if Sprocket’s capabilities are far beyond that of Binary Bard’s, they are turning out to be great friends.

Will you join forces with Sprocket too?

I cut a rug. I boogied down. I busted a move. Yet my new robot friend was unimpressed. When I challenged him to show me something better, he paused for a moment. I could hear a whirring sound behind his eyes.

Then, a surprise!

This little fella apparently has a few tricks up its sleeve.

“What else can you do?” I asked, a little bit uncertain of whether I wanted to know the answer. The machine extended another appendage that had previously been hidden. It was beginning to remind me of a Swiss army knife.

I wasn’t quite sure what it was doing, but I knew it looked useful. “Say,” I said, an idea forming in my mind, “you wouldn’t want to come along with me on Steamworks Island, would you?”

He nodded his assent, and we were off on a great adventure!

Poptropica Members will be able to join Sprocket when Early Access to Steamworks Island begins on Thursday, August 12. Steamworks island will be open to all on September 9.

Hopefully BB won’t use Sprocket to pilliage, conquer, destroy, and steal a princess (Not again!) from Steamworks.  I wonder how these amazing actions will be used on the magnificent, mechanic, marvilous island of metal and miricles! (Maybe) Anyway, it’ll be fun to tag along with our favourite robot friend, (who’s not a barn owl from Astro Knights island, so no offence Merlin 😉 ) Sprocket. 😀
Da Ba of da Greeniness!

  1. sprocket is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope he dosent DIE like merlin did! if he could be in the followers pack it would make my day! it would be cool to have him as a pet in real life!

  2. AWW im not a member so Ill have 2 play steamworks after 9th grade starts and because I had to take a language class it will be harder to play Poptropica 😦

  3. Since this is like a mechanical place, ad he is making all the posts about it… maybe BB is the villian of this island!

    Green Boa: That’s possible, but unlikely because he is the villian on Astro-Knights 😉

  4. I didn’t know that the robot had a flashlight! That just adds to the coolness factor…

    1. Maybe because he read the PHB post and saw that they said he only put MIME. That’s proof that the creators read the PHB!
