The Mechanical Ninja[1] was a large blue ninja robot made by Ed in honor of his son, Jay. Eventually, it was turned into the Fangpyre Robot[2] by the Fangpyre.
History
Some time after Jay left to train with Wu, Ed began working on the Mechanical Ninja in his son's honor.
Snakebit
When the Fangpyre battled the ninja in Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk, they attempted to turn the fight in their favor by biting the robot. The Fangpyre venom transformed the sculpture into a fully functional robot, which immediately began attacking the ninja with its large nunchucks. Jay defeated the robot by commandeering a Fangpyre Wrecking Ball and using it to knock the robot off its feet.
Shadow of Ronin (non-canon)
When the ninja arrived at the Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk pursued by Fangpyre, Ed and Edna decided to rebuild the Mechanical Ninja to protect the junkyard.
Appearance
The robot was very large in size and primarily green in color, with the exception of its red, snake-like eyes and pink-purple nunchucks. After being rebuilt, it was blue and gray, with yellow-tinted hands and purple nunchucks.

Trivia
- The Fangpyre Robot is one of three Serpentine machines in the TV series without a corresponding set. The other two vehicles are the Serpentine Bus and the Serpentine Express.
- The Fangpyre Robot may be the TV series equivalent of the Fangpyre Mech set, which never actually appeared in the show and did not closely resemble the Fangpyre Robot.
