After being infected by a nanobot plague created by Deadalus, Roboduck gains enhanced human-level intelligence and is taken by a man named Gabriel, who trains him to use his abilities responsibly.

With his hyperactive and improvisational mind, he quickly established himself as the class clown of the A.P.N.G., wisecracking and causing mischief throughout much of their education.

[3] After Sly burrowed out of the underworld onto Zadaar IV with his army of MetalMites and microbots, Roboduck was sent, along with the rest of the members of the A.P.N.G.

[4] When Sly uses his specialized laser and deactivates the nanobots inside the A.P.N.G., he also disables Roboduck's entire operating system, rendering him inert for a brief period of time.

As Gabriel fights Sly, Roboduck resumes destroying MetalMites with his teammates, eventually emerging victorious and returning home to New-Gen.[5] As a first generation battle robot, Roboduck possesses an advanced, plasma--based, weapon system for use in ranged combat.
