Moby the Robot is an orange-sepia toned robot. Tim, his best friend, answer important questions in BrainPOP episodes as well as Cassie and Rita. He is an avid movie director and operates the First National Bank of Moby. He loves to do risky stuff, like break museum rules or ride a bike recklessly, but also worries too much, especially if it concerns about viruses.

He doesn't want to answer questions about his ancestry, as shown in Writing Process, Geologic Time, and Outer Solar System. It's possible he is an alien robot because he repeatedly claims he's from another planet. He first met Tim in a giant smoking crater which could mean he got to Earth by asteroid or comet, as implied in the movie Writing Process. It is also possible he came to Earth in a rocket during the early Stone Age and lived in his rocket until it exploded thus making the crater. Geologic Time has evidence of him next to a rocket on cave paintings. He is revealed to be at least 1,600 years old in Presidential Election.

Moby was revealed to be the leader of a robot rebel force with plans to take over the planet in Citing Sources. In Copyright, Moby is downloading a song named "Robots' World Domination". Moby creates plastic replicas of himself in 3D Printing, and at the end of the movie, Moby plans to use the replicas to take over the world. In Moby's character profile, he talks about Directive One. However, he cannot say what Directive One is. It seems this may be related to his plans for world domination.

It was hinted that he was built by Leonardo da Vinci, although this seems more like a joke, as Tim says "Oh no way!".

He hates being dismantled as in Binary when Tim dismantles one of his lights. Moby pulls Tim's arm while pushing on Tim's leg and Tim promises "not to take anything off him again."

In the episodes Plagiarism, Biography, and Lewis and Clark, Moby's full name is shown to be 'Moby Calrissian'. In Biography, an autobiography written by Moby has his name as 'Moby Calrissian', and in Lewis and Clark, a film Moby is in says 'Starring Moby Calrissian'. This may be a reference to the Star Wars character Lando Calrissian. However, a tweet from Mike Watanabe, who is Tim’s voice actor, says that Moby’s last name is simply a joke/reference, and that is not Moby's true last name.
