The Haltmann Works Company is a galaxy-wide megacorporation that serves as the main antagonists of Kirby: Planet Robobot. They travel through space with the goal to take over planets and collect their natural resources to make profit, while developing new robotic technologies. They are led by President Max Profitt Haltmann.
History[]
The company was founded an unknown amount of time before Kirby: Planet Robobot by Max Profitt Haltmann. The CEO eventually came across technology left by the ancients such as Star Dream and plans for the Metal General. The comany then tries to reactivate Star Dream but during one of the tests, something goes horribly wrong and the daughter of the CEO, Susanna Patrya Haltmann, is sucked into Another Dimension, where she would get data on the Sphere Doomers. Haltmann believe that his daughter was killed and desperatelly try to reactivate Star Dream since it is a Clockwork Star and as such is able to grant wishes, but each time he is trying to access Star Dream's database, a part of his soul is sucked inside the machine. Eventually, Haltmann completly lost grip on reality and forget that his daughter ever existed, his only goal would be the eternal prosperity of his company. Susanna comes back and when she realise that her father is not the man he used to be, she decide to beccome his secretary under the name of Susie and wait for the moment where she could separate him from the mother computer. The company then start to invade planets, create new robotic and biologic weapons until they reach Planet Pop Star.
There, Kirby decide to free his planet and start opposing the company by destroying the legs of the Access Ark and their weapons. Kirby then beat the CEO, who blinded by his rage activate Star Dream to get rid of Kirby but Susie steal the control helmet, which leave Haltmann as a souless puppet while Star Dream achieve sentience thanks to Haltmann's soul. After studying organic life forms, Star Dream reveal that it will uses his powers to purge them from the universe and ensure eternal prosperity for the company. The mother computer is eventually destroyed by Kirby and the mechanised planets are reverted to their original state. The only known remains of the company after the events of Kirby: Planet Robobot is Susie's personal armor.
