I wouldn't be surprised if the ult-self robots are designed to cast dirk's specific lens of those characters over their "ultimate selves".
to risk going on tangential stuff I do think its very interesting how dirk is the only "ultimate self" not in the form of a sprite^2 or a robot, and how he's the only "ultimate self" we've seen narrate anything. I think that there's a lot people are assuming are the results of gaining that awareness of one's ultimate self that might not (and probably don't) have anything to actually do with that, I think the most accurate explanation of what the ultimate self even is is still what davepeta said on the subject back in homestuck.
