'''Atlas''', [[P-body]]'s short and stout companion, is one of the two bots [[GLaDOS]] built for the [[Co-op|Cooperative Testing Initiative]], which was devised to phase out human testing. GLaDOS created the testing initiative after [[Chell]] killed her the first time, during ''Portal''. Along with P-body, the two bots are pitted against a series of tests built by GLaDOS herself, utilizing the many different aspects encountered by Chell in single-player.  
'''Atlas''' (referred to as '''Blue''' by [[GLaDOS]]), is [[P-body]]'s short and stout companion, and is one of two playable android Test Subjects built by GLaDOS for her [[Co-op|Cooperative Testing Initiative]], which was devised to phase out human testing.


{{spoiler text|During the final phases of testing, GLaDOS reveals that, while the Cooperative Testing Initiative has its uses, she needs human testing for science, not robots. GLaDOS reveals that there are humans locked away, deep within the ancient Aperture facilities. There the bots will be tasked with navigating the old test chambers and unlock the massive vault containing the humans, seemingly kept in place by some form of cryogenic storage. By doing this, they 'save science.'}}
Gameplay-wise, Atlas is played by the host of the Co-op session; the player that sends an invitation.

== Biography ==
Atlas is a blue eyed [[Cores|Core]] with a basic design as a typical rounded Core, and is portrayed to have somewhat more masculinity in its programming than in P-body. {{spoiler|GLaDOS had created the Cooperative Testing Initiative after her awakening in ''Portal 2'', as a means of replacing [[Chell]] as her only Test Subject.}} Along with [[P-body]], the two bots are pitted against a series of tests built by GLaDOS herself, utilizing the many different [[mechanics]] previously encountered by Chell from the game's single-player campaign.
 
{{spoiler|It was later revealed by GLaDOS that Atlas and P-body's Cores are programmed specifically to do nothing more but tests.}}

There the bots will be tasked with navigating the old test chambers and unlock the massive vault containing the humans, seemingly kept in place by some form of cryogenic storage. By doing this, they 'save science.' However, almost immediately after the robots unlock the room containing the test subjects, they are destroyed. They are eventually rebuilt and, during the credits, Atlas sits at a computer desk and watches P-body playing on a conveyor belt.}}
