Why He Rocks

 * 2) He was designed to not only do heroic things, but to have human emotions.
 * 3) As a robot designed to have multiple emotions, this allows him to be relatable to the audience.
 * 4) He has a variety of weapons in his arsenal, such as his iconic Arm Cannon and Finger Laser.
 * 5) He is quite intelligent and wise beyond his years.
 * 6) His backstory was very heartbreaking but unique, interesting, and well written.

Bad Qualities

 * 2) Due to his android state, Astro cannot age as his father Dr. Tenma wanted.
