Rusty

Rusty is a minor character in the 2021 series of Rugrats. He is a robot dog created by Stu for Chas and Chuckie to keep as a pet. He is voiced by Tommy Dewey.

Description
Rusty was created as an allergy-free pet for Chas and Chuckie. All goes well, he even poops out jellybeans, and Chuckie gets along with Rusty as they play all day together. Rusty, however, comes with a few problems such as setting off a loud alarm when a noisy car passes by in the middle of the night. Stu remedies this by adjusting Rusty and making him more "helpful". This results in Rusty being too helpful as he prevents Chuckie from playing with his friends due to Rusty returning objects to Chuckie every time. Eventually, after Chas' failed attempt to return him to Stu, Rusty turns on Chas thinking he's a dog catcher and chases him up the tree in the Pickles' backyard. Tommy and Chuckie stop Rusty by setting off his jets causing him to fly out of control before launching away into the sky.

Appearance
Rusty is made of metal with red robotic eyes, a red collar with a bone tag, and purple glasses that resemble Chuckie's.

Trivia
This character could be a reference to Goddard from Jimmy Neutron, but also seems like a reference to the simple fact that toy robotic dogs like Poo-Chi and Tekno (and even non-toy robot dogs such as AIBO) were super popular in the late-90's/early-2000's when Rugrats was still pretty popular.
