General information

Physical appearance

José's appearance is based off of a Latino gang member; he wears a white tank top, brown pants and shoes, a gold chain, and sports a goatee and scar on his forehead. In his original design, he wears a light pink beanie, but in MindChamber's redesign, he wears a blue beanie.

Personality

Possibly the most expressive of the Ghettobots when it comes to intimidation, José is often seen utilizing gang signs and acting menacing to display his dominance toward others. In his planned boss fight, he is also shown operating advanced machinery, likely based around the stereotype of Latino/Hispanic people being auto mechanics. Besides this, there isn't much to decipher from his characterization.

History

Pico's School

In Pico's School, José and the other Ghettobots are seen at the ending, replacing the students who died during the Goth Punks' attempt at taking over the school. Once they arrive, however, Pico becomes suspicious and pulls out his gun to counter a possible attack.

Pico vs. Überkids

In Pico vs. Überkids, José makes a cameo appearance in the opening of the game, alongside Leroy and Roc.

Pico 2

In the cancelled Pico 2 demo, in the introduction, it shows José has incredible agility. Like Roc and Leroy, they appear out of a spaceship after Darnell's gang shot it down. Before José leaves, he scares one of Darnell's friends, then leaves. They appear again in the Playground; before he leaves, he taunts Pico and Timmy.

This is all that's known about José's role due to the cancellation of Pico 2, and it's unknown how his boss fight would have been made according to his stats. An unused sprite found in the unfinished Westbound Subway boss fight's files suggests that he would have used a mech.

Pico Roulette

In Pico Roulette, José appears as a playable character.

Pico's Unloaded

In Pico's Unloaded, José has a shared cameo appearance with Leroy and Roc. Here, they own a milkshake spot named Shake-It, and as a beaten-up Pico heads inside for some refreshment, Leroy hands him a milkshake only to crush it in his hand. Pico gets angry and grabs a mop as a weapon to fight the Ghettobots.

Trivia

• After surviving a round in Pico Roulette, José is seen doing a gang sign.
  • In the cancelled Pico 2 demo, he does another gang sign before leaving the Playground.
• Though José is said to be incredibly agile, his boss fight only seems to utilize a large mech.
• He shares the same first name as MindChamber, whose real name is Jose Ortiz, but this could be a coincidence.
