-In the [[episodes:​1980|1980s series]], known as Photar, the character has an androgynous personality and is once again a member of the World'​s Greatest Robots. He comes from "the Southern Continent"​ and acts as a carer for the kindergarten children. He was originally going to defeat [[characters:​Bruton]],​ however, he decided to save a child who was about to get crushed under a tree, hence leaving him defenceless ​and was eventually defeated by Bruton. ​+In the [[episodes:​1980|1980s series]], known as Photar, the character has an androgynous personality and is once again a member of the World'​s Greatest Robots.

 It must be noted that Bruton chose a rainy day to fight, since this would leave Photar weak as he is a photon-powered robot. It must be noted that Bruton chose a rainy day to fight, since this would leave Photar weak as he is a photon-powered robot.

-Epsilon re-appeared in the [[episodes:​2003|2003 series]] as a secondary protagonist. The character went through a major character redesign and is now portrayed as female, marking this as the first time [[characters:​Astro]] has a female robot as an ally. She was first introduced in the episodes [[episodes:​2003:​the rise of pluto|The Rise of Pluto]] and [[episodes:​2003:​the fall of acheron|The Fall of Acheron]], where she is shown to be an environmentalist and protects Metro City's wildlife and greenery, even bravely stopping a tornado in its tracks. She is one of the robots [[characters:​Bruton|Pluto]] challenges, and, during battle, heads in the water, where she has an advantage, instead of fighting on land where the advantage would be given to Pluto. She is there shown to be able to detect ocean currents. However, a pod of dolphins spoils her plan and as she, displaying her environmental concern, rushes to save them, Pluto senses her weakness and swims to an highly volcanic area - if [[characters:​Epsilon]] shoots and misses (which is a high probability),​ hundreds of marine creatures will be killed. She eventually deems this probability and does not shoot; therefore Pluto shoots her and renders her immobile. However, strangely, Pluto did not destroy her like he destroyed his other opponents.+Epsilon re-appeared in the [[episodes:​2003|2003 series]] as a secondary protagonist.

-Epsilon re-appears in the episode [[episodes:​2003:​escape from volcano island|Escape from Volcano Island]], where she is an nominee for the prestegious ​Robot of the Year Award (alongside [[characters:​Astro]],​ Harley, as well as an unamed ​robot nurse and unamed ​robot computer hacker). However, the terrorist [[characters:​Kato]] as well as [[Mr. Drake]] ensures the cruise doesn'​t go as planned, when they wreck havoc and allowed the ship to stray off course and allows ​a volcano to erupt. The robots hurriedly start to attempt to turn the ship back, Epsilon and Astro fly off to destroy some of the flying debris so it would not harm the ship. Their efforts are found to be futile, and to make matters worse the ship is going to crash on the island. Just in time, the ship is hacked into and turned around, meanwhile Astro uses his arm cannon to ensure the ship has a clear path. Eventually, all five robots receive the award because of their sheer bravery.+Epsilon re-appears in the episode [[episodes:​2003:​escape from volcano island|Escape from Volcano Island]], where she is an nominee for the prestigious ​Robot of the Year Award (alongside [[characters:​Astro]],​ Harley, as well as an unnamed ​robot nurse and unnamed ​robot computer hacker).

-Epsilon would once again receive a prominent role, this time in the Robotonia episode [[episodes:​2003:​showdown in robotonia|Showdown in Robotonia]]. [[characters:​Reno]] and Hannah have stolen [[characters:​Yuko]]'​s car and are now attempting to contact [[characters:​Duke Red]]'​s forces but do not succeed, as the car is broken. Suddenly, enemy forces surround - and prepare to destroy - the car with them in it, as they are leagued with the robots. Epsilon appears from underneath the car and starts to get the car hovering, and they escape followed by the human forces. Epsilon predicts that the ice wall in front of them will collapse, so they hurriedly go under it and it does collapse, and the human forces lose them. Eventually, the message does go through and the humans ​realise ​their mistake, however unfortunately the war isn't over because the robots refuse to surrender.+Epsilon would once again receive a prominent role, this time in the Robotonia episode [[episodes:​2003:​showdown in robotonia|Showdown in Robotonia]].
