Point Dexter is a member of the Backpack Bunch from BotBots.

"Rick! I'm Pencilvester! Listen to that name, you can't kill me!"

When the 'bots who make up the Backpack Bunch need to think up a plan, they turn to Point Dexter for all their strategizing needs. Even though he's a bit of a nerd, Point Dexter is well liked by his fellow 'BotBots, as his plans rarely fail and he never has to use his eraser - traits that make him mightier than the sword.

Notes

• His name comes from the term "poindexter", another term for a geek.
• The original concept art for Point Dextor shows a few very different takes on his design. ^[1]
  • The 2015 date on the concept art also makes Point Dexter one of the first known BotBots designed.
• Early line-art of Point Dexter, in both robot and pencil modes, appears "inside" Clawsome's chest window, apparently as plush versions of the character available inside crane skill games. His robot mode art also shows up on Driver Ted's screen, in the "Player One" position.
• The BotBots cartoon features numerous "Pencil Bot" generics based on Point Dexter's design with some even sharing his yellow/orange color scheme, though whether or not one of them is the actual Point Dexter is yet to be determined.
