Who Made Codsworth & The Mr. Handy Robots
Large tech corporations had hands in Codworth’s construction
In theFalloutgames , Codsworth represents a specific eccentric of robot in the dealership . There are all sort of dissimilar robots or automatons , each with their own uses . One of them is Mr. Handy , a utility golem designed for cleaning and other day-after-day tasks . It ’s understood inFallout’sgames that Mr. Handy - and by denotation , Codsworth - was created by General Atomics International , one of the most herculean potbelly in its earthly concern . They were in business withFallout’sVault - Tec , which explain why many of General Atomics ' products can be found inside the vault inFalloutgames .
Interestingly , Fallout instalment 6 ’s surprise Codsworth reveal does n’t make any mention of General Atomics International ’s function in the automaton ’s creation . Instead , it derive that another corporation is behind its creation . Sebastian mentioned to Cooper thatit was Rob - Co that bought the right to Codsworth from the movie studio that owned the character . This would indicate that Rob - Co Industries , one of the evil corporations represented in the coming together in theFalloutseason 1 finale , is the real reason Codsworth was created . This is in line of products with the games , moot that it ’s been known sinceFallout : New Vegasthat Rob - Co plan at least one of the Mr. Handy manikin from General Atomics .

While Sebastian Leslie ’s Codsworth impression sounds a tidy sum like theFallout 4character , it ’s not the actual voice of the Codsworth golem in the game . InFallout 4 , Codsworth was voiced by Stephen Russell , an player who ’s bestow his voice to severalFalloutcharacters over the years . In a nod to the character ’s future office , Sebastian Leslie , he was portrayed by Matt Berry inFalloutepisode 6 . In a nod to Leslie ’s raw place in the lore , Berry also voices the show ’s Mr. Handy . While fetch back Russell for both roles would have been an appropriate move for the show , Berry does fork over a convincing rendition of theFallout 4companion .
