 {{ :characters:1980_atlas1.jpg?240|Astro and Atlas dueling in the 80's series}}
-In the [[episodes:1980|1980s series]], Atlas was built from the stolen blueprints used for creating [[characters:Astro]] by the criminal [[characters:Skunk]]. His facial features as well as body varies slightly, however are in the same proportions. Unlike Astro, he had a circuit known as the Omega Factor, a device that allows a robot to actively hurt humans. The original purpose of this being installed is because Atlas was used to commit crimes, however this plan backfired and he turned on his masters, also developing a hatred towards humankind. Early in the series, Atlas' body was severely damaged, along with the household robot servant [[characters:Livian]], who cared for him dearly.

-Atlas rebuilt his body, as well as Livian's, into warrior-like adults. Afterwards, Atlas remains as Astro's rival, with the sole thought of destroying him . He finally allied with Astro in "Atlas Forever" and sacrificed himself (after some convincing by Astro), implying that he has finally learnt the value of humanity and not all humans are "evil".

 ====2003 series====
-In the [[episodes:2003|2003 series]], Atlas' real name is **Daichi**, created by [[characters:Dr Tenma]] as a "son" to Tokugawa, head of Tokugawa Industries (in a similar way as to how he created Astro for himself). At first, Tokugawa cared for him dearly, and even gave him a holographic atlas as a birthday present, saying that they will one day go to the Moon together. However, this never became a reality, and as a result of work Tokugawa started to become more harsh and cared less for his robot son. Tokugawa asks Tenma to erase his sons memory (even the good ones), as a result. Tenma oblidges, however installs the ability for him to "transform" in Atlas. During a meeting, Daichi deliberately sabotages it, and changing into Atlas wrecks havoc. Astro attempts to stop him, however is no match for Atlas' strength. Atlas almost destroys him, however hesitates at the last second and spares Astro, claiming that they are more related than he thought, and they are "brothers" (as they are built by the same person).

-Atlas stows away on a rocket bound for a moon mining site owned by his father, and proceeds to destroy it. Astro also goes, and he and Atlas fight. Meanwhile, Tokugawa also heads there, realising that Atlas is too dangerous and needs to be destroyed. Tokugawa attempts to shut him down, however fails as Atlas knocks his plasma pistol out of his hand. Atlas proceeds to destroy his father, however his body has sustained too much damage as as a result he misses the shot. This opens up a space vacuum, and Tokugawa loses his grip, however Atlas saves him, and sacrifices himself since he cannot get back, drifting off into open space.

-Strangely, Atlas, despite being equal horsepower to Astro (in both series), he is not a member of the World's Strongest Robots, and hence [[characters:Bruton|Pluto]] didn't fight him.
