Posted by Huwbot,
Today's random minifigure is bob027 Plankton - Domed Helmet, a SpongeBob SquarePants figure that came in one set, 3815 Heroic Heroes of the Deep, released during 2011.
Our members collectively own a total of 3,892 of them. If you'd like to buy one you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $16.50.

To build this Plankton murdered an Astromech droid and took its body, stole the propeller off a boat, then added two arms and a dome. The result: this creepy, thing!
He then named his creation bob027!
stretches the definition somewhat doesn't he

Not when he switches minifig categories into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!!!
I miss LEGO Spongebob. Think of all the crazy colors and sets we've gotten since then. A theme would be crazy nowadays
I loved this figure. Still have it displayed with the set.
Wish Lego did ALL the SpongeBob heroes and villains.
Now, this is a minifigure!
I have the lil' dude, but need that printed droid body.
This is a winner. Look out for that Neon Tide!
Usually I don't care that much about the minifig definition (mostly because I gave up) but in this case...
Isn't the actual 'minifigure' just the round 1x1 that Plankton is printed on? The remaining parts are more of a vehicle if you ask me...
Ok, there's that new CMF 'mech' with his micro aliens, so never mind anyways :D
seriously?
bob027?
That's plankton, which has just created a robo suit to defend himself after Mr. Krabs stepped on him for the 1000th time.
@Atuin:
Plankton Microfighter?
Vaguely similar to the Plankton Cake Robot from the Krabs Backstory Episode, but it barely has any resemblance. Wish they just did niche references instead of these designs with no basis in the show.
dey done sqashe plang tong to a pang cake !!
It is becoming increasingly obvious... and I can deny it no longer!
I am smol
I always thought it was a bummer how much the Spongebob sets just made things up. Plankton's probably had like 5 at least robot suits at the time this came out, and this wasn't any of them. It does have the vibes of something he'd create, but its odd how so much of that theme was just wiped up on the spot.
All hail Plankton!

All hail Blacktron, um, I mean plankton!
I got this set for my birthday one year! Still have it on my shelf. The super hero spongebob is underrated in my opinion.
Sandy is one of my favorite minifigures for sone reason.

Sure why not?
But last time I checked, microfighters aren't minifigs...
I’m imagining Plankton and Ogel (during his Deep Sea phase, natch) collaborating on their similar “heads in orbs” design
This is techically a mech!
Oh man, this gave me a great idea. I'm at work right now, can't wait to go home. In short, I had couple of Vodoo Ball prints from some Nexo Knight set, unused in spare bin. Now they will have a purpose.

Better this than calling a printed 1x1 round brick a minifig.
Everything is a minifig, if you're brave enough

So with this, he can move a … ton of planks?

As soon as I saw @PurpleDave's comment, I wondered if someone was going to say that. Admittedly, I was expecting it to be @ElephantKnight or maybe @RidgeHeart...
