The Fry-bot was a robot built by Turanga Leela at a Build-a-Bot store after Philip J. Fry was incinerated during the crash of the Planet Express ship. The robot was later implanted with the personality of the living Fry by way of the surveillance computers at the Planet Express headquarters.
While constructing the Fry-bot, Leela put too much copper wadding in its stomach, causing the robot to overload. Leela was electrocuted and left in a coma, and the Fry-bot was sustained several burns; both had their short-term memories erased. The Fry-bot, then beliving himself to be the original, human Fry, mourned Leela before building a Leela-bot at the same Build-a-Bot store.
The human Leela later awoke, and fought with the Leela-bot, during which she demanded that Fry shoot the Leela-bot. Fry refused to shoot, being unable to tell them apart (despite the fact that the Leela-bot wore a bandage on her arm after having been bit by Nibbler), and accidentally shot himself, revealing that he, too, was a robot.
The Leela-bot and the Fry-bot then chose to shed their human skins and live together as robots forever.
