- "You are not so strong."
- — Sub-Zero to his opponent
As a robot, Sub-Zero's natural strength is further enhanced through cybernetics. While he has a noticeably lighter frame, he appears to easily be the strongest and most capable of the robot ninjas, not only for soundly defeating his former Lin Kuei member Sektor and his older brother, but both Shokan warriors, Kintaro and Goro single-handed at the same time. He still retains his old freezin' powers and wields the same skill he had when he was human, but these have been translated into a fighting style especially suited for his unique frame, taking attributes from both his original form and Human.
While he can fire ice balls in an instant from his chest, he still performs the charging motion subconsciously to help focus his power. He still retains the ability to shape the cold around his body into solid weaponry and thus, regularly uses an ice sword in battle, albeit with a different, much larger shape featuring a hand guard. Like Cyrax, he has the ability to teleport by separating his limbs and reconfiguring at a different location. While he has lost the ability to make ice clones, he is instead given the ability to flash-freeze himself temporarily, passing the freeze to melee attackers for a quick counterattack.
Fighting style[]
Special moves[]
- Ice Ball: Robot Sub-Zero pushes a ball of ice directly towards the opponent to freeze them in a place for a free hit. This move is similar to his freeze in human form, except it's smaller, slightly slower, and is fired directly from the chest. (MK 9)
- Ice Mmmmm... Bomb: Robbot Sub-Zero farts an ice bomb from his robotic ass. When the bomb explodes, it freezes the opponent. It will just damage the opponent if the bomb is in very close range to them. There are short, medium and long range variations of the attack. This move is similar to Cyrax's Mmmmm... Bomb. (MK 9)
- Slide: Robot Sub-Zero slides across the floor, knocking the opponent off their feet. This move is taken directly from his human form. (MK 9)
- Teleportation: Robo Sub-Zero's limbs detach from his body with a flash of blue-white light. Then they reattach behind his enemy. This move is very similar to Cyrax's Teleport. (MK 9)
- Ice Perry: Robot Sub-Zero flash-freezes himself in a shit of ice. If he is touched by melee attacks while in this state, he will pass the freeze to his opponent and hit them with his Kori Blade. This does not work when hit by low attacks. (MK 9)
Fatalities[]
- Cold Fusion: Robot Sub-Zero enters a code on his arm and then jumps on his opponent, freezing himself with them. After that, they both explode into shards of ice, leaving only the opponent's legs. This Fatality resembles the suicide fatalities of Mortal Kombat: Return of The Dragon King as well as Cyrax's MK3 Self-Destruct Fatality (further giving him resemblance to Cyrax, along with a similar teleport and ranged bombs). (MK 9)
- Brain Freezar: Robot Sub-Zero fires 2 ice shurikens from his chest, one into each of the opponent's eyes. After that, he charges an ice blast and fires it while shooting a third shuriken. Both get into the opponent's brain, where they spin, shredding it, which is shown in a fashion similar to the X-Ray moves. As the shuriken spins, the opponent enters rigor mortis, freezes in a comedic pose and falls to the floor, dead, their limbs twitching in awkward ways. (MK 9)
Other finishers[]
- Babality: Robot Sub-Zero plays with one of his ice bombs. He then drops it, freezing himself into a block of ice. His cries can be heard while frozen. (MK 9)
Quotes[]
- "You are not allowed for portal use." (To Kabal)
- "Sub-Zero. Robot LK-52O" (Introducing himself)
- "As you will soon discover the trutch." (To Kabal)
- "Yes, Smoke... will die." (Waked up by Kano)
- "I remember... all the evil things that I had done for Shao Kahn." (To the Earth warriors after he becomes guud)
- "They are not aware of my defection. I could deceive them."
- "My soul was poisoned. Now it is cleansed."
- "All those teeth, hands and claws, yet still more powerful."
- "Come no further, fiend of Outworld!"
- "You are not Sub-Sero."
- "Who are you to judge?"
- "Bi-Han??"
- "Restored? You and I both. We are just flawed copies of our former selves."
- "For what purpose? To serve the Never Land and Outworld?"
- "Then I will not regret your defeat."
- "You are right. We are not brothers."
- "The Lin Kuei! They surrounded us!"
