— Plankton introducing Q.T.-π
|
Q.T.-π (pronounced Cutie Pie) is a robot who is the main antagonist of the episode "Say Awww!" It punishes anyone who says "Awww!" so that Plankton is seen as evil instead of cute.
Description[]
Normal form[]
Q.T.-π is a yellow robot duckling with rosy cheeks, a cyan bow tie, a square orange beak, small red wings with pale pink tips, and a green antenna on its head.
Monster form[]
It appears as a huge white duck with a dinosaur-like build. It has a red bowtie, long legs, webbed feet with sharp toenails, light bulbs protruding from where the eyes are, a long, thin beak with sharp teeth, a wavy, long neck, zig-zagging arms, a white body, and a tail with a claw on the end. It also wears a light blue sailors hat with the green antenna that its normal form has on top.
Abilities[]
Q.T.-π has the ability to transform into a large and powerful monster whenever it hears someone say "awww." As a monster its main method of attacking is devouring anyone that it sees. It is capable of devouring people by simply grabbing them with its beak, using a robot claw from inside its beak to grab and pull its victims inside, or by inhaling them. Anyone it eats ends up as prisoner in its quantum stomach prison which is capable of fitting nearly the entire population of Bikini Bottom. The top of the prison also has an emergency evacuation uvula. It is the only exit which is at the top as there is no side door. Pulling the uvula forces the robot to release its prisoners from the rear end by shooting them out like a cannon. Q.T.-π is also capable of shooting its victims out of its rear at will as be seen when it was working as the main attraction of the Glove Launch. Its monster form also appears to have a headlight from the inside of its beak which allows it to see its victims in the dark.
If the victim does not finish saying "aww" and rephrases a sentence to something else (like how SpongeBob finished his sentence with "...cute little robot like you shouldn't be out here all alone!"), Q.T.-π will not eat them.
Role in episode[]
Plankton builds this robot to punish anyone who thinks he's adorable. It activates when someone says "Awww!" and swallows said person instantly. Plankton is the first to fall victim to his own invention, which proceeds to go haywire across the town, swallowing everyone on the way. The swallowed people proceed to exit using the emergency uvula but find out there are not enough people to escape. They form a crowd, and as SpongeBob is the last one swallowed, they lift him up and escape through the robot's rear end.
The robot later ends up working as a ride in Glove World! called the Glove Launch at the end of the episode through SpongeBob's inspiration to put its evil powers to good use.

Trivia[]
- Its name is pronounced the same way as "Cutie Pie," while being a pun on the aforementioned form of affectionate address.
- Years before SpongeBob SquarePants used this robot name pun, the video game Xenoblade Chronicles 2 used it for Poppi QTπ.
- Its voice has a similar inflection to Disney's Donald Duck and Quacker from Tom and Jerry while in its normal form.
- Its normal form also has a slight resemblance to Quacker while its monster form has a slight resemblance to Donald Duck.
- Gary and Karen are the only main characters who were not eaten by Q.T.-π.
- Naturally Q.T.-π appears to be genderless according to Plankton who refers the robot's pronouns as an "it." However SpongeBob and Squidward referred it as a male by using the pronouns "he" and "him" for it.
- Strangely, when SpongeBob said "Awww" upon first seeing Q.T.-π, he does not get eaten.
- Tom Kenny provides the voice for both its normal and monster form.
