Story
Prologue (Official Site)
Bob had always been very serious about his training. He was hailed as a master of martial arts from a very young age, and he garnered many fans with his chiseled body and good looks. However, he could not defeat opponents who were larger than him. He vanished from the martial arts scene and dedicated himself to a special training regimen that increased his power and weight while maintaining his agility.After several years in seclusion, Bob returned to the fighting world a changed man. Those who know Bob were astonished by his transformation. His handsome looks were gone and he gained a disproportionate amount of weight. Bob paid no attention to his critics, and relied on the benefits of his training: speed, power and unyielding weight. He decided that he was ready to return to competition; he joined The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to test his martial arts abilities once again.
Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
After winning the tournament, Bob became a sensation. He was shown on television and for magazine interviews. Unaware of this, Bob becomes thinner. He weighs himself, turning out to weigh 150 pounds - he had lost weight without even knowing it. He screams in frustration, bangs his head on the wall, and makes a big hole. Then he is shown lying on the floor.
Trivia
Bob's stance in his CG is similar to Jin Kazama's stance in his Tekken 5 CG.([2]).
Bob was shown wearing a third outfit in a video for Tekken 6 ([3]). It consists of black pants and a blue and white hooded jacket.
In the Tekken 6 arcade opening, Bob is shown being ambushed by some apparently-armed robbers in a bank. ([4]).
The character concept for Bob was derived from the 1989 martial arts film "Qun Long Xi Feng" [or "The Pedicab Driver"].
Because some people had found similarities between Bob's moves, as seen in the released images of him, and the moves used by other Tekken characters, some people speculated about Bob possibly being similar to Mokujin, Tetsujin, Unknown, and Combot (mimicking the moves of others). However, his official profile page states that he practices "freestyle karate", and Tekken 6 match videos show that he has an original fighting style.
Some of Bob's animations that are shown before a fight feature Bob saying "It's all or nothing.", "I've been waiting for this day.", "I hope you're ready.", and "Now, let the show begin!". Some of Bob's animations that are shown after winning a fight (win animations) feature Bob saying "I will attain perfection!", "I'm still not there yet.", "Not bad... I'll fight you... anytime.", and "Speed and weight!".
Bob's "Item Move" feature in Tekken 6 is releasing some birds from a hat that he wears ([5]).
In an official Tekken 6 Concept Art book, Bob's full name is revealed to be 'Robert Richards'.
In Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, Bob can be customized to look like an overweight Super Sentai character and a chef.
Despite his size, Bob is a very agile fighter.
Rufus of Street Fighter IV resembles Bob as both are obese blond American fighters who move fast for their sizes. Their personalities differ though as Rufus is loud-mouthed, obnoxious and impatient, a contrast to the more calm, serious and focused Bob, whose weight gain was deliberate. Bob can be customized to resemble Rufus. Coincidentally in a trailer for Street Fighter X Tekken Rufus mistakes Bob for Ken Masters and the two end up brawling in Law's restaurant (jokingly it turned out that the real Ken was just eating with Ryu)
In the Scenario Campaign mode of Tekken 6, Bob is a boss at the Central District 11th Avenue.
Bob, along with Gon, are the only characters with no official character relationships
Bob's first two opponents in Scenario Campaign's "Arena" mode are Ganryu and Paul Phoenix.
