#but my newly acquired love for Gyro has made me notice that his inventions are often redeemed

The sad thing about Gyro’s inventions all turning evil is that most of them probably weren’t.

I mean, the first invention of his that we saw “turn evil” was Lil’ Bulb. Lil’ Bulb wasn’t actually evil though, he just had a lightbulb with a wattage that was a little too high for him (S1 E5). Even though we see another version of Lil’ Bulb turn evil later, it was because Mark Beaks had played around with the technology, removing the thing that stops it from becoming evil (S1 E11). It wasn’t fully Gyro’s design, it just had most of the same parts.

His first invention that chronologically “Turned Evil” was 2-BO, which is what I’m going to call Boyd for the sake of this post. 2-BO wasn’t evil either, not even close. In fact, he’s so sweet and doesn’t actually want to hurt anyone. 2-BO’s problem wasn’t with Gyro’s build or programming either, it was that Akita was changing it.

What I’m getting at here, is that the inventions of his that “turn evil” can usually be fixed very easily, or are evil to no fault of his own. Gyro only has a reputation for making “Evil Robots” probably because they aren’t finished yet, but he usually ends up shutting them down if they look like they’re gonna go haywire, probably because of his original “failure” in 2-BO. So he probably isn’t that bad at making robots, he just doesn’t always believe that he can iron out the creases in his designs and shuts them down.
