Dr. Theopolis & Twiki were created by the producers of the 1979 NBC TV series and had not appeared in any previous iterations of the Buck Rogers saga and lore. Fun side fact: Twiki was voiced on the TV series by Mel Blanc the same person responsible for many of the Looney Toons (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck et. al.) characters.

Doctor Theopolis (Theo) is a member of the Earth’s Computer Council in the 25th century. Theo is known for his logical and thoughtful approach and, unlike other members of his computerized class, holds humans in high regard. His primary function is as an intermediary between the Computer Council, Doctor Elias Huer, and select members of the Earth Defense Directorate. Amongst his other duties, he is also responsible for the environmental control within New Chicago.

Due to Theopolis’ lack of built in ambulatory features, he is carried by a drone-type ambuquad, Twiki.
