I don’t have him yet, but I run suicides so my ears always perk up when I hear they are introducing a new robot. His animations look pretty fun and I like that he is XL and one of the first robot mystics, but I feel like I never hear anyone talking about him.... Does anyone on here have him and can you explain whether or not you like him and what content he is good for?

I'd suggest 5.2.1 and 5.2.2. He cheeses the chapters. Power gains on him due to his charge. Just a few hits to get opponent into corner and then sp2. Game over.
1- He will NOT fulfill the usual Mystic champ duties for which you would typically bring one in a quest. Thus, do not rank him up unless you already have at least one reliable and maxxed up 5* R5/ 6*R2 nullifer,staggering mystic such as Doom, BWCV or Sym/SorcSupreme.
2- If you already have #1 above then yes, by all means do rank him up, he's great, fun and pretty useful for certain matchups.
3- Mystic Dispersion, if you can afford to put it does help his playstyle a lot because basically what you have to do is is reach sp3 as soon as possible early on the fight. After this, then he'll get the necessary power charges for spamming sp1/sp2 when you have the oppo cornered or just launching another sp3 ( the latter if you run suicides)
4- He's not the most suicide friendly mystic in the game ( that crown goes to BWCV and Diablo) but definitely above average suicide friendly champ. If suicides are your thing then just spam sp3... after each sp3 he'll get a short buff that will regen him when he is being hit on his block.
4- He's good for matchups that reward you for unblockable, gaining power without having to hit oppo and/or against opponents with A LOT of buffs. A word of caution in this last statement: DO NOT bring him to fights on which is mandatory to nullify/stagger buffs or lest you're dead (For example, against Hyperion)... but he will excel against opponents that gain buffs over time and them doing so doesn't instantly kill you ( For example Odin, Angela, Venom, etc). The last statement is specially true if he's duped and at high sig. if not duped he is still good for such matchups but only if you corner the opponent and spam sp1 after having had thrown at least one sp3 ( in other words, if you run suicides it's better if he's duped and high if you want to access his utility/damage when interacting with opponents buffs).
- Other niche utility of his is the ability to apply Slow, as well a a very unique ability to punish opponents that apply armor breaks galore. This is why he can literally eat (fry?) for breakfast many armor breaking cosmics such as Angela and Terrax.
- Lastly, if you happen to have high ranked Diablo and Mr. Fantastic then that's itself another reason to rank him up, cuz he truly likes these synergies. ( Tigra too but not as usefl as the other two synergies)
Hope it helps.
