José
José is a member of the Ghettobots, alongside Roc and Leroy. Mading his first appearance in the ending of Pico's School, he was meant to be one of the main antagonists of Pico 2. He is the brains of the group, showing great technical prowess with a large mecha.
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.
Abilities
While there is much to show this, José appears to have a genius-level intellect. As seen by the large mecha he would use in his boss fight, he more than likely has some form of expertise concerning advanced technology. He likely also has experience with firearms, judging by his dual pistols, though he's never seen actually firing them.
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 demo of the cancelled Pico's School sequel Pico 2, 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.
