Yes, but he wasn't trying to kill them in the first place, that's for sure, he didn't want to, and so he didn't try. You said "if he had such a weapon, he'd use them against the viltrumites", but that's simply not true, he didn't want to fight them or harm them, he wanted them on his side over the alternatives.He used the children to get the Elites on his side so they could kill Mark.
Unless you mean the Viltrumite hybrids, but Robot didn't exactly expect them to be coming with a whole armada of them and Robot is a very prep heavy character.
And not only that, did he even want to kill Mark? It seems more like he wanted Mark to completely surrender while making it so Mark couldn't command the Viltrumites against him, basically force Mark to piss off.
Given Robot kinda tells him to do exactly that so nobody has to die and made sure exactly that couldn't happen, Mark just happened to fight back (Robot even says to Mark that he should have just backed off and left things alone, implying he was expecting Mark to just keep things as it were now that he didn't have his forces. He also says this to everyone else too, that if they didn't come to fight, they would have been left alone, and not just to Amanda or Mark, to all of them). Not to mention not once did he ever say he wanted to kill Mark, just that he wanted them to bring Mark to him and that he played an uno reverse so Mark couldn't use the viltrumites against him.
He says weapons, plural. One such weapon sure, but he says weapons implying there's more weapons then just the sonic one.The one weapon
Tbh, I don't see the issue here, Robots basic armors can fold Viltrumite hybrids with raw strength alone, and Robot and Mark both seem to think Robot's highend armors are at least able to hurt Thragg to an extent with various weapons (and neither would be overestimating it, Robot is to smart for that and Mark has no reason to think like that). Only real downside is the material they're composed of can't take many hits (Though, it does take a few bloodlusted hits from Thragg while in the sun, and early on at that before the heat really starts effecting them) and his striking strength wouldn't be up to that power either for obvious reasons.
Imo, downscaling Robot's best armor off Thragg should be ok at least in regards to AP (just slap "up to [tier] with certain weapons" and his durability is a mess but he's definitely lacking compared to how much he can dish out for average armors and drones so that's something else entirely
On another note, a viltrumite takes a hit from Tech Jacket in the final confrontation so there's that for scaling, iirc there was some talk about that earlier.
