'''President Haltmann''' (full name '''Max Profitt Haltmann''') is a character in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', serving as the game's primary antagonist. He is President of the [[Haltmann Works Company]], even receiving the dignity of an [[The Noble Haltmann|anthem in his glory]], and is responsible for the invasion of [[Popstar|Planet Popstar]] and many worlds before it.

President Haltmann's likeness is first seen in Stage 1 of [[Access Ark]], after Kirby has already boarded the mothership. He is later encountered directly at the end of that same level, in the Haltmann Works executive office. He dismisses [[Susie]] after [[Mecha Knight+]] is defeated, and then proceeds to address [[Kirby]] directly. Haltmann then shows him [[Star Dream]], explaining that they'd managed to reactivate it using the knowledge of lost ancient civilizations. He then mans a large mech made of pure gold, called the Executive Suit, and engages Kirby with it.

[[File:Art & Style Magolor Concept Art 2.jpg|thumb|Magolor's concept art from the ''Kirby Art & Style Collection'' that heavily resembles President Haltmann.]]

*The dollar bills that spew out of Haltmann's mech have his face on them. The purple bills that spew out of Haltmann 2.0's mech, however, have Susie's face on them.

*The [[Invader Armor]], [[Robobot Armor]] and [[Sword Hero]]'s [[Magolor's Shoppe#Armor|Haltonium Helm]] are made of a "Haltonium alloy" which is named after Haltmann himself.

*In ''Kirby: Art & Style Collection'', a section depicting concept art for [[Magolor]] includes early designs for his "normal" and "evil" forms, each of which feature various details that would be incorporated into Haltmann's design. Both designs feature an egglike body, a large mustache, upwards-pointing tufts of hair on the back of the head, and gloved, disembodied hands, the early version of "normal" Magolor features blue skin & eyes and mittenlike hands, and the early version of "evil" Magolor features a similarly-shaped handlebar mustache.
