| —MePhone3GS, "The Reality of the Situation" and "Objects in Mirror" | ||
MePhone3GS is a supporting character who appears in flashbacks in "Mine Your Own Business" and in "Hatching the Plan", and is talked to in the present in "The Reality of the Situation" and "Objects in Mirror". He is voiced by Ben Cross.
Personality[]
Most of MePhone3GS's personality was unknown after his debut, other than that he was fearful and terrified of his creator, Steve Cobs.
However, in "The Reality of the Situation" a little more of his personality was shown, with him in the flashback being quite confident and goal-oriented stopping at nothing in an attempt to get the eggs. When Knife and Suitcase talk to him he is quite friendly and cordial to them, however when they mention Steve Cobs, he's what he calls an "involuntary reaction", similar to the one he had in the flashback in "Mine Your Own Business".
In "Objects in Mirror" After Cobs' defeat (and death), he reunites with MePhone4. While talking with MePhone4, he is kind, friendly, and understanding to him, like apologizing to him for accidentally scaring him due to his reaction, when MePhone clarifies he did not scare him, but rather he was just afraid of what Cobs had done to him or to anyone else like them, to which MePhone3GS points out that thanks to him, Cobs' abuse and control over their lives has ended and they are now free to live their lives however they like, with that, MePhone3GS hugs MePhone4 while saying it was good to see him, he then leaves alongside MePhone to celebrate their new-found freedom.
Appearance[]
MePhone3GS is a black rectangular phone with a round casing that smoothed his corners. On one side, he had two volume buttons and a ringer switch, and on the top was a power button. He had a large screen on his front, with gray gradient wallpaper. Unlike his successors, he lacks a front camera. When speaking, MePhone3GS' voice and face glitches and typically cut to static. Across his screen was a massive crack gained in his attempt to steal Prime Shimmer eggs.

Little is known of MePhone3GS' past. Sometime before MePhone4, MePhone3GS was created by Steve Cobs of Meeple Inc.
He first appears in one of MePhone4's suppressed memories shown in "Mine Your Own Business", where he is found in a storeroom. In an old recording he plays, he addresses others as "troops", implying he was some kind of leader.
Following the recording, he repeatedly begs Steve Cobs not to do an unknown action, presumably (permanently) shutting him down. MePhone4 becomes frightened and runs out of the room, leaving MePhone3GS to loop the recording in growing panic and eventually glitches and deactivates.
In "Hatching the Plan", MePhone3GS appears in The Prime Shimmer's depiction of him and multiple other MePhones making contact with the The Light Shimmers, learning about their organic energy and wanting to harvest it. When they refused, 3GS stole Prime Shimmer eggs with at least 2 other MePhones (the original MePhone and MePhone3G) to harvest their energy in which the Prime Shimmers retaliated by killing the other 2 MePhones. MePhone3GS gained a cracked screen from the attack and managed to steal 2 of the eggs. He was discontinued and put in storage after returning to Earth presumably empty handed.
In "The Reality of the Situation", it has been revealed that upon returning to Earth, Steve Cobs was furious and possibly tortured him, threw him at the walls of the storage closet, and abandoned him without any mercy.
In "Objects in Mirror", towards the end of the episode, he is seen hugging MePhone4 after being dispatched by Steve Cobs to come to Inanimate Island alongside other MePhones. As they hug, both start getting emotional.
