Time Bokan Gag Robots: Odate Buta (Itadakiman)
The Itadakiman incarnation of Odate Buta was more of a cutaway gag, signalling a new plot development or twist. It mostly shows up in regards to the Dirt Cheap trio, although they themselves don't do anything to trigger it nor is it confined to a compartment in a mecha.
The pig would pop up with it's back turned to the audience, it's appearance often relevant to the story (ie. it appears dressed like a flamenco dancer in an episode that takes place in Spain), and would then turn around and say "Sonotoki!" ("At that time!").
