The Gideon-bot is an immense robot made by Old Man McGucket for Li'l Gideon. It was first unveiled in the Gravity Falls episode "Dreamscaperers/Gideon Rises".
Role in the series[]
Its destruction was foreshadowed, as it flashed on Bill Cipher's body in "Dreamscaperers".
It made its physical appearance in "Gideon Rises" after Gideon stole 3 from Dipper. Later in the episode, after Gideon learns that there are three journals, not two, he uses the completed Gideon-bot to catch up to the bus Dipper and Mabel were on that was headed back to Piedmont, California. The Gideon-bot rips off the roof of the bus while Dipper and Mabel run on a bridge in hopes of escaping. Gideon catches them and demands to know where 1 is.
Dipper is then confused and doesn't know what he is talking about, so Gideon uses the Gideon-bot to pick them up, and it throws Dipper on top of a cliff. He then walks away with Mabel, with plans to make her his queen. Dipper runs off of the cliff and breaks into the Gideon-bot through its eye. Gideon and Dipper fight, almost destroying the bridge and beating up the robot at the same time. Dipper defeats Gideon but the Gideon-bot falls off the bridge. It crashes onto the ground and explodes.
In "Weirdmageddon", parts of the town were salvaged by the Gravity Falls survivors to build the Shacktron, among them was the right leg of Gideon-bot.
