"I just wanted to see if Big Guy had a website."
Rusty, robots don't usually have websites.
(from BRG-103:"The Inside Scoop" by Roger S.H. Schulman)
Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot is an animated television series and an eponymous comic book by Frank Miller and Geof Darrow.
The Comic Book
"Big Guy and Rusty, the Boy Robot" appeared under Dark Horse Comics'
now defunct "Legend" insignia as a large format comic book published as
a two-part mini-series in 1996.
The Animated Series
The animated series, produced by Columbia
TriStar Television and Dark Horse Entertainment, aired from 1999 to
2001. The plot and setting of the series is different from the comic
book as the whole story is based around New Tronic City, a fictional
American city clearly modelled after New York City. Rusty is the most
advanced robot with human emotional grid and nucleoprotonic powers that
is going to replace the Big Guy, the Earth's last line of defense
against all threats alien, domestic, or against the American way.
However, Rusty is too inexperienced to stand on his own, so the Big Guy
is re-commissioned to teach Rusty the way of trade. Rusty idolizes the
Big Guy, regarding him as the best robot ever. Big Guy is actually
piloted by Lieutenant Dwayne Hunter, who poses as his chief mechanic.
Big Guy's secret is known only to a few...
