| —MePhone3GS, The Reality of the Situation | ||
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. He is voiced by Ben Cross.
Personality[]
Most of MePhone3GS's personality is currently unknown, 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 the eggs. When Knife and Suitcase talk to him he is quite friendly and cordial to them, however when they bring up Steve Cobs he has an involuntary reaction, similar to the one he had in the flashback in Mine Your Own Business
Appearance[]
MePhone3GS was 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's 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's 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 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 abandoned him at the storage.
