Summary
AU where Robert has powers his dad forced him to suppress in his youth. Upon stepping into the role of Mecha Man Blue, Robert runs himself into the ground physically, mentally, and financially to uphold his family’s legacy. It’s what he was born and raised for, after all. He can’t afford to fuck it up. He’s nothing outside of it. His dad was so keen on drilling that into his head.
…with that kind of pressure on him, is it any wonder he starts to act out? It really shouldn’t be surprising that he needs to let off some steam, some charge, so he doesn’t lose his cool doing real hero work. Call him a hypocrite. Call him a supervillain in a hero’s suit. Robert’s long since past the point of caring.
It’s just a shame he’s working so closely with people who know the hallmarks of a real villain a lot better than he would like them to. He’ll have to keep his work and his fun separate, for the team’s sake if nothing else. They mean a lot to him. He genuinely wants to help them succeed in their redemption arcs.
But he has no intention of stopping. Not when he’s finally back in his prime.
Not for anyone.

Summary
The first Mecha Man to grace L.A. was titled Mecha Man Prime, being the first in the legacy of non-powered humans to make a difference as a hero. The second Mecha Man named himself Astral and made his debut in L.A. as the leader of a group of heroes.
Robert was supposed to be the third Mecha Man. His father would have wanted that for him, but disappointing his father isn't new to him anyway.
In Robert's defense, he had a very valid crash out after his dad was murdered a decade ago. In his opinion, this leads to his very reasonable agenda of hunting down the man who murdered him. It sucks, because it's his target is beloved by the entire damn State.
L.A.'s third Mecha Man, Elliot Connors.
(OR: Robert Robertson is L.A.'s worst supervillain, hunting down the newly retired Mecha Man one dispatch call at a time.)

Summary
He was dead, or at least he should've been.
Robert Robertson was always more of Mecha Man than he ever was himself. And after fifteen years, the Mecha Man will finally die. A depressed man, who swore to live up the curse of his father, will finally have peace and accept his fate in this twisted world. But fate had other plans... During his four-month coma, Robert Robertson is trapped inside his own mind after the explosion that wiped him out, now fighting to regain control of himself. Reliving his trauma, failures, glimmers of both the past and future. Only Robert can make the decision whether to wake up and truly live, or to embrace the damage and truly die. Meanwhile, the people of Los Angeles mourn for the Mecha Man, including the very same person who placed the bomb on the Mech that started it all, a woman named Courtney.
