Robert Sawyer, better known as "Chop-Top" is a fictional character from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise; created by Tobe Hooper and L. M. Kit Carson, Chop-Top makes his first appearance (portrayed by Bill Moseley) in the film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) as one of the film's villains and the main source of its black humor.[2][3]
A member of the cannibalistic Sawyer family,[4] Chop-Top, whose actual name is revealed to be Robert (shortened to "Bobby" or "Bloody Bobby") in the planned spin-off All-American Massacre, is a hippie-like antagonist and comedic relief character who makes frequent remarks related to his PTSD flashbacks and napalm from his time as a Vietnam veteran.
Chop-Top adorns himself in a variety of multi-colored and tattered clothing and claims that music is his life.[5][6]
