P.P.A. from Star Fleet

P.P.A., short for Perfectly Programmed Android is a cyber-droid created by Dr. Ben Robinson for analytical purposes on Moonbase.
How long P.P.A. has been in service is unknown, though according to Dr. Benn in the first episode, "he's been here for a very long time". Plainly not an android (a humanoid shaped robot), PPA can hover utilizing winglike panels on the side of its 'head', and is equipped with a retractable claw to lift heavy or awkward objects.
He possesses all data on the X-Project and X-Bomber as well as comprehensive data on all star systems throughout the universe. He is in charge of all navigation, mechanical systems checks and repairs.
Although he is a robot, he gets restless and short tempered. He becomes incredibly indignant when they don't follow his commands. Supercilious and snotty, PPA fails to understand the annoyance it generates in the rest of the crew, specifically Hercules.
He has a very annoying superior attitude to the rest of the crew, leading them to insult him and treat him insolently. His feelings are often hurt by this treatment, but he has brought it upon himself. Because he nags and issues instructions in a domineering tone, Shiro and the others give him a wide berth when they can but also have a quiet respect for his abilities. Also, rather cowardly, P.P.A. is mostly useful for falling and flailing on the floor in battle situations.
As time goes on, he becomes more humble and is accepted more by the crew. He respected and admired Dr Benn, greatly, and despite being a robot and supposedly without feeling, Lami has stated she can sense there's more to PPA than being an emotionless robot.

The year is 2999 and the Earth is at peace following the Space Wars. The safety of the human race is ensured by Earth Defense Force (EDF). Shortly before the turn of the fourth millennium, the peace is broken by the appearance of a gigantic alien battle cruiser. Powerless to defend itself, the EDF's Pluto base is completely destroyed and the evil Commander Makara reveals that the same fate awaits the Earth unless the mysterious F-Zero-One is handed over to her.
Unaware of the nature of F-Zero-One and fearing retribution, the EDF presses into action an untested, incomplete weapon, codenamed X-Project, from its hidden moon-base. The X-Project is revealed to be a powerfully-armed spacecraft named X-bomber.
The series then follows the adventures of the crew of the X-Bomber, namely Doctor Benn, Shiro Hagen, Barry Hercules and John Lee who are joined by PPA, Lamia and her guardian Kirara. They set off to discover the nature of the F-Zero-One and try to protect it from the increasingly desperate Commander Makara and her menacing overlord, the Imperial Master.
Eventually it is revealed that Lamia herself is the mysterious F-Zero-One, a powerful alien destined to bring peace to the galaxy at the turn of the millennium. The series continues with Lamia gradually discovering her true nature and powers while the Imperial Alliance attempts to capture her and destroy the X-Bomber. The series climaxes with the X-Bomber crew destroying Commander Makara and Lamia finally confronting and defeating the Imperial Master and bringing peace to the universe
