Andy (Fallout 3)

Andy is a Type II Mr. Handy robot found in Vault 101.

Andy performed magic tricks at Wally Mack's party in 2268.

Later that year, during the Vault Dweller's 10th birthday party in the early stages of the game, Andy is given the job of cutting the cake. He fails miserably at this task, destroying the cake, and prompting Butch DeLoria to demand the Lone Wanderer's Sweetroll.

If you return to Vault 101 during the Trouble on the Homefront quest, Andy has been appointed the new doctor since the only qualified vault physicians, Jonas and James, are no longer residents; Jonas having been killed during James's escape. Again, Andy fails miserably at his assigned task. The Vault Dweller can find Andy covered in blood after the robot has amputated Beatrice's right leg in an attempt to treat a sprained toe on her left foot; an operation she did not survive. After this failure, Andy is put to work cleaning the doctor's office he has made such a mess of.

No matter what, Andy remains generally very jovial. The only times he expresses any real regret is during the Lone Wanderer's birthday party for ruining the cake with his buzz saw, and in a conversation with his technician during the Lone Wanderer's escape from the vault, in which he laments the bumbling of the technician and pines for the skills of his previous handler.

Andy's name could be a reference to the nickname 'Handy Andy', as he does many jobs in Vault 101, from Cleaning, to being a 'doctor'.

Appearances
Andy appears only in Fallout 3.
