Roastmaster

Roastmaster (POWERWORD: Robert Maestro) is an American animator and humorist. He has been a frequent collaborator with Draco dating back to the mid-2000's on RFSHQ where he went by his original name, "APOCALYPSE FISTFUCK". He changed his name to "Roastmaster" when he joined the official message boards for Club Penguin to help Draco run community events because Draco did not want to put teenagers in charge of running contests and giveaways. The first event he assisted with was The MCCP Roast of Draco where he approved and managed access to the event's submission form. Because the leader of a roast is known as a "roastmaster" he adopted this term as a temporary name that wound up sticking.

Roastmaster has been involved with Gatorbox in some form since its initial launch in 2012. Though he has not appeared on camera, he has lent his voice to some of the channel's earliest productions. Notably, Roastmaster co-starred alongside Draco in a 30 minute recording of the PC game Secret of the Magic Crystal that acted as the duo's audition tape for the show in mid-2012. Historically, Roastmaster has been involved with assisting in writing the channel's content. He is credited with co-writing the series What's Yiffin'? and the two Lootcraet performances on GatorUNbox. He also contributed to the production of the Club Penguin marathon stream that documented the closure of the MMO in March 2017. Roastmaster was also consulted for the second season of Your Level Sucks where he suggested a number of the gags involving the Kickstarter Pen, wrote the opening skit with the sandwich seen in the episode featuring levels designed by Wendy's and Arby's, and drafted the storyboards for the season finale that paid homage to Fight Club.

His work is slated to be featured prominently in the upcoming miniseries Articles of Conflagration that sees Draco narrating and performing content from the Twilight Foundry article archive. The series is named after Roastmaster by way of "conflagration" referring to a large fire. This name was chosen because many of the articles penned by Roastmaster were among the most popular ever published by Twilight Foundry.

In 2024 a chat emote (GBroastmaster) was added to the Gatorbox channel in recognition of his work on the show over the years. The emote is a small icon of his old fursona, an anthropomorphic raccoon.
