About this title
Synopsis
It follows the story of a humanoid created by a robotics expert named Dr. Otoi for his grandson, Nobuhiko. But in the process of writing and applying the programming, an unfortunate mishap takes place! Nobuhiko sneezes. Now, whenever Nobuhiko sneezes, the humanoid (named Signal) transforms from a temperamental adult robot into a chocolate-loving baby version of himself. Despite this little error, the days spent with the Otoi crew are usually fun. Animals, people, and robots all can live in harmony. Until one day, Signal is attacked by Pulse, a robot created by Dr. Otoi some time ago. Much like a prototype for Signal. Pulse is incredibly nearsighted, but makes up for what he lacks in vision with firepower. Dr. Otoi's mysterious rival has packed him to the brim with amazing weaponry, with the intent of stealing the Doctor's most recent robo technology. (Source: Wikipedia)

Adaptation
Main characters
Signal3 fan favoritesExternal profileThe main character and namesake of the series, Signal is the newest HFR (Human Form Robot) to be created by Professor Otoi. He is unique because of the MIRA and SIRIUS technology in him, which sometimes makes him a target of those wishing to steal his data. He is programmed to be a fighter and an older brother to Professor Otoi's grandson, Nobuhiko. Due to an accident in the lab during his creation, when Nobuhiko sneezes, it transforms Signal into a much smaller version of himself. He is referred to as 'Chibi Signal', is very hyper, and adores chocolate.
Pulse1 fan favoritesExternal profileThe prototype for Signal made by Otoi-sensei and Masanobu. Originally he was seen with silver hair and a grey styled outfit. He was a very kind and gentle robot but then one day Masanobu made some changes, upgrading him into a highly skilled combat robot. His look then changed to black long hair and dark clothes with two massive blades connected to his arms. It also appears that he conducts electricity through his hair and then charges that power through his eyes like a laser. These changes were not entirely for the best. Now he seems to be VERY nearsighted and if he should happen to use the laser or get too worn down he passes out. He has what appears to be robotic narcolepsy. He and Signal constantly fight and tease each other, but Pulse seems to have a soft spot for Chibi Signal and often talks with him. It also appears he was/is friends with Kris.
Nobuhiko Otoi0 fan favoritesExternal profileNobuhiko is the grandson of Professor Otoi and “brother” to the title character Signal. Due to the parents busy schedule they have sent Nobuhiko to travel abroad which has him temporarily moving in with his grandfather. Nobuhiko's grandfather, not knowing how to entertain the young boy sets to add the finishing touches to Signal's personality based on the young boy's specifications. Upon sneezing a new command is set into motion. Whenever Nobuhiko sneezes Signal will change between his normal age down to a chibi, chocolate loving version of himself.
