Radio

Rocko "the Blaster/Radio" Ratuno is a Bakelite vacuum tube based dial alarm radio receiver from The Brave Little Toaster series. Like Beater, Refridgerator, T.V. or Elmo St. Peters' Monster Pickup, he happens to be one of the characters who lacks an anthropomorphic face, except that his red dial meter is possibly his eye, but also possibly has hidden dial and volume knobs. He is voiced by Jon Lovitz in the first film and Roger Kabler in its sequels, and his voice resembles Little Richard. He is possibly the brother of T.V.

Personality
With the qualities of loud, pretentious, different-voiced radio announcers and singers, the Radio is prone to exaggeration and boasting. Also, he often narrates his own adventures in a rather overdramatic style. His voice is that of an early 20th century news reporter, and he repeats major references referring to that era.

Relationships
The Radio seems to get along with the other appliances in the first movie, except for Kirby, which is until near the very end. In the film's sequels, the Radio helps out his fellow appliances whenever they need it. He can be heard broadcasting minor events that occur or playing music from different stations.

Trivia

 * The Radio bears some resemblance to Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
