The Pizza-eating robots were a group of robots utilized by the Foot Clan in the Hero Turtles Adventures comics. They walked on two legs and were shaped like a dinosaur, with a large mechanical mouth meant for chomping pizza. Centered on the upper back was a glass enclosure large enough for the pilot who manned the robot’s controls.

Shredder’s latest plan to deprive and starve the Turtles involved destroying every pizza joint in the city. When the Turtles learned of this, they headed out to spoil his plot, but at each pizza restaurant location they visited, they found that they were too late. However, when they rushed to Pizza Shop, they were in time to see Shredder’s Footbots stealing all the pizza. After battling and destroying the Footbots and sending Bebop running, the Turtles decided to stand 24-hour guard duty on Pizza Shop.

Constant alertness was tough, and the Turtles were tired. To stay refreshed, they took turns at a pizza-break. It was while Michaelangelo was on his pizza-break inside Pizza Shop that the Shredder attacked. Using a Pizza-eating robot, Shredder smashed through the back wall of the restaurant. He was followed inside by Rocksteady and Bebop, who also piloted Pizza-eating robots. The robots began munching pizza and the Turtles attacked.

Donatello smashed through the glass pilot chamber on Bebop’s robot and destroyed its controls at the same time. The robot immediately went out of control and Bebop jumped free. Don was pleased when the robot crashed through a wall to leave the restaurant, but unfortunately it rammed right through the Pizza Shop delivery van. Its subsequent explosion destroyed both the van and the robot.

A Leonardo and Raphael team-up made short work of Rocksteady’s Pizza-eating robot. The Turtles then turned their attention to the last Pizza-eating robot, which was piloted by Shredder. They’d just begun their attack when Shredder opened a hatch in the robot’s rear and deployed a bomb. Everyone fled the restaurant, making it out just before a huge explosion flattened Pizza Shop, the last pizza joint in the city. A gloating Shredder left in the remaining Pizza-eating robot.

Later the Foot Clan, led by Shredder, enter the city park to destroy a giant pizza. They bring with them several Pizza-eating robots. These robots are all destroyed in the subsequent fight against the Turtles.
