Rockwell "Rocky" Robinson is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is the son of Gaylord and Margaret Robinson. Rocky works a wide variety of jobs at Elmore Junior High, ranging from the janitor to the school bus driver.

Appearance

Rocky is covered in fuzzy, orange fur. He has an orange-yellow striped nose and wears a black t-shirt with a logo and pants, but no shoes. Rocky is animated in CGI but is designed to move like and resemble a Muppet.

Personality

Rocky does a lot of odd jobs around Elmore Junior High, ranging from janitor to a cook, bus driver and much more. He is a good friend to pretty much all the kids and loves to hang out with them, especially Gumball and Darwin, unlike his mean-spirited parents who hate them. Rocky is also not very bright, much to the shame of his parents, who are not very pleased about his career choices either (mainly his father). More proof of his carelessness can be shown in the episode, "The Romantic" where he is shown driving the school bus and mostly reading to Penny what the poem says. He is not prolific with women, having been dumped many times.
