First Appears: Dragon Ball Chapter 81 / Dragon Ball Episode 55

The star of Akira Toriyama's first big hit, Dr. Slump, she is an absurdly powerful and rather demented robot girl created by Senbe. She loves monsters, poop, and wrestling above all else. When Goku comes to Penguin Village, she helps him out by sending General Blue flying.

A robot created by Senbe's rival, the evil Dr. Mashirito, based on Arale's design. He has all of her powers, but is her opposite in most other ways, being extremely prim and proper. Originally created to destroy Senbe and co., he instead befriends them and falls in love with Arale. He has several pet cats, which he mentions during his brief appearance in Dragon Ball.

Pirate Robot (海賊ロボ)
First Appears: Dragon Ball Chapter 75 / Dragon Ball Episode 50

Guarding pirate treasure, this robot attacks Goku, Kuririn and Bulma as they venture into the pirates' abandoned hideout. It is equipped with a sword and a machine gun, and can attack with electricity through its tail. Goku destroys the robot by smashing into it from above.

After Colonel Silver blows up Kinto'un, Goku looks for other means of transportation by checking the contents of capsules at random.

As they travel north and the air gets colder, the robot freezes, causing the plane to crash.
