==Description==
==Description==
HR-D3 is a giant robot that greatly resembles [[King Dedede]]. It is balanced on a piston, so it primarily jumps around as its main form of movement. It has one robotic hand, with the other hand being a power drill. It has lasers within its "eyes," a pilot's seat within its "head," and a huge beam cannon within its "mouth." In its original appearance, it is painted in King Dedede's color scheme and has his signature V-sign insignia on its chest; in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', it has the red-and-silver color scheme of [[Metal General|Metal General EX]], with an insignia resembling the general on its chest.

As shown in preview material for ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'', King Dedede was originally piloting the robot, and it was being powered by Kirby's stolen [[Warp Star]]. The Dedede Robot only shows direct ties to King Dedede in Kirby Quest, where it has his insignia and Dedede is shown collapsed after its defeat. In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', it is rechristened HR-D3; Metal General EX can be seen piloting the robot, though it does not appear to have an external power source as it did originally. The "D3" part of HR-D3 name is a reference to the pronunciation of "Dedede", while the "HR" part draws a parallel with [[HR-H]] from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Like HR-D3, HR-H is a humongous, transforming robot that is not native to [[Popstar]].
