Twiki is a fictional character on the television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Twiki (pronounced twee-kee) is a robot sometimes referred throughout the series as an “ambuquad” (which, as depicted in the episode, “Twiki is Missing”, refers to a specialized series of robots made for work in space mines). Built by an ambuquad facility in New Chicago, the same episode also reveals that the robot’s model number is 22-23-T. The character’s name, “Twiki,” is derived from the robot’s alphanumeric designation: TWKE-4, as revealed in the episode, “Shgoratchx!” Most notably in the first season, Twiki was often seen carrying Dr. Theopolis around with him.
