Braindon is the name Zim gives to a brain-powered robot he creates in Issue 50 of the comic series.

Summary[]

In Issue 50, Zim has GIR and Minimoose gather human brains for him as part of his newest plan to conquer Earth. When Dib bursts into the abandoned peanut warehouse where Zim is organizing all this, Zim reveals that he was gathering the brains to power an Irken robot he's dubbed "Braindon", and intends to have it destroy Dib before conquering Earth for him. Dib counters this by summoning a robot of his own, which his father specifically built to fight robots powered by human brains.

However, before Braindon and Dib's robot can fight, Chammy Wamboo - a new student who has become obsessed with making Zim and Dib be friends - arrives on the scene and intervenes. Somehow, to Zim and Dib's shock, she convinces the robots to become friends and run off together. Zim later states that Braindon sent him a text claiming that it and the other robot are now living together and have a dog.

Despite this setback, Zim reveals that he commissioned the cyborg factories of Cyberborgulus Prime to build an army of Braindons for him. But as he prepares to open a portal to summon them to Earth, with Dib fighting to stop him, Chammy shows up again to once again try to make them be friends. Thoroughly annoyed by her antics and her promise to never stop, Zim and Dib temporarily team up to send her through the portal and destroy it, trapping her on Cyberborgulus forever. Zim admits that now he can't use the robots, but seems to consider that worth it.

The army of Braindons are last seen surrounding Chammy as she swears that they'll all soon be friends.
