Flare is a dragonfly robot built by Kienstrom and is one of his two robots. He is somewhat based off of Scratch, being that he is smarter than Chopper and other such things. He can hover for a short distance, but isn't very powerful. Kienstrom generally mistreats Flare and Chopper, but apparently needs them (even if he won't admit it).

Top Story Bio
One of Kienstrom's 2 main robots. He and Chopper aren't all that great at carrying out orders and stuff. He, unlike Chopper, is smarter and more agile. And spiky.
History
Creation
The actual date of Flare's building is unknown, but soon after (by several seconds), Chopper was also built. It was in Kienstrom's lab at Bubblegloop Swamp, and Kienstrom's first orders for them were for them to kidnap some Jinjos for him. At first they refused, but after Kienstrom told them he would scrap them and make new robots, they agreed. They went to Jinjo Village and hid out in the digger tunnel until several jinjos came in, at which point they attacked, but were blown up by a crate of explosives. The next day, they tried again, and were successful in kidnapping two jinjos.
They brought the jinjos to Kienstrom's lab, where Flare and Chopper were given a promotion (even though they were already the highest-ranked robot there, even though there were no other robots there), but then encountered Gonji, Croco and Bien in the entrance to the lab. They fought, and were defeated, but the three intruders were captured by Kienstrom. Flare and Chopper helped Kienstrom bring Gonji to the mutator room for experiments when the lab was attacked by a giant crocodile robot. The lab was nearly destroyed, and Kienstrom, Flare and Chopper fleed in Kienstrom's ship, leaving the planet.
They came across Star World, where they landed at the North Pole. Flare and Chopper set out and managed to successfully kidnap some creatures, which Kienstrom mutated, but then a group known as The Yoshi Bodyguards appeared searching for Santa Claus. Kienstrom had his mutants attack them, but during the fight the floor gave way and they all fell into a secret underground cave. It turned out to be Santa's workshop, so Kienstrom decided to attack it. The YB, however, fought him and won, and he, Flare and Chopper escaped.
The Gwarhar Lagoon Lab
They arrived off-shore of an island called Gwarhar Lagoon, and Kienstrom set up a new lab there. When news of a massive, metal, robotic titan came to Star World, Kienstrom, Flare and Chopper learned about it and left for the planet it was on, trying to get past all the other forces there. However, unable to do the slightest thing right, they eventually left the planet and returned to Star World. The following winter, Kienstrom attempted to "steal Christmas" from Toad Town, with Flare and Chopper helping, but in the end they lost all their stolen goodies.
A while later, Kienstrom was called by Dark Top to the planet Popworld to fix a problem plaguing the planet (all machinery was deactivated). This left Flare and Chopper in charge of the base, but unfortunately an intruder broke in, breaking Flare in half. They managed to follow the intruder to the ship room, where whomever they were stole the ship and blasted out, forming a large hole in the ceiling that was letting water in. Chopper welded the door shut so the water wouldn't get into more of the lab... unfortunately, they were now trapped in the room.
Soon after, a Beanbean Soldier expedition found them and got them out, after which Prince Peasley took them into custody, suspecting they may know something about the Beanstar. They didn't, but were brought to Beanbean Castle, where they were kept until Kienstrom came to get them, although it turned out he only came to get them because he needed them to install a wide-screen monitor in the lab.
Personal Information
Personality
Flare seems to think a highly of himself, even if he's in reality rather lousy. Between him and Chopper, Flare is the smarter one, but that isn't really saying a whole lot. He both works for Kienstrom and gets annoyed by him, but at the same time is constantly trying to get in his favor (over Chopper, no doubt).
Appearance
As a dragonfly robot, Flare has a round head with a darker gray marking at the center, and two half-circle orange markings under its mouth. There are also two anodes coming out the sides of its head. It has a someone long body with spikes covering most of it, which ends in a thinner tail at the end that ends in a spike. It also has two normal arms and legs, although while most of its body is blue, these are orange. It also has two wings on its back, just above its arms.
Abilities
Flare can hover over the ground with his wings for a short time, as well as he can create sonic gusts of wind with them, and has spikes covering most of his body. He can shoot electricity from the anodes on his head.
Final Smash: Dragoncrabfly
Flare and Chopper merge together to form a Dragonfly/Crab thing with wings and claws and spikes and can fly and hurt those who touch it and fire beams from the claws.
Residence
Flare resides in Kienstrom's lab near Gwarhar Lagoon.
Interactions with Other Characters
Kienstrom "Angry Scientist"
- Main Article: Kienstrom "Angry Scientist"
Flare works for Kienstrom and basically does whatever he says, trying to stay in his good favor (over Chopper, usually). Still, Flare can get irritated at Kienstrom sometimes, and occasionally thinks he would do a better job, but would never actually tell that to Kienstrom. Flare also gets creeped out by some of Kienstrom's mutants, though given most of them die he doesn't worry too often.
Chopper
- Main Article: Chopper
Flare and Chopper are like brothers, arguments and all! The two are often seen together (to the point of being a duo character in SSYB like Zelda/Shiek), but at the same time, argue as much as work together. They're often trying to best each other, as well, to get further in Kienstrom's favor (which none of them really are in all that much). Flare is the smarter one, while Chopper is a more powerful one, so the two can work together well when they stop arguing and start working together.
Trivia
- Flare is partly based on both Scratch from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and also on a dragonfly robot from Mushroom Hill Zone in Sonic & Knuckles.
- For Halloween 2009, Flare went as Scratch.
