Dot Matrix.
Dot Matrix was the droid of Honor for Princess Vespa at her wedding. She is a robot and is mostly based on C-3PO from Star Wars. In both Spaceballs and Spaceballs the animated series, she was voiced by Joan Rivers. In the original movie, Lorene Yarnell played the robot, with Rivers dubbing over her lines.
In the movie
During the opening scene of Spaceballs, Princess Vespa is suposed to marry the lethargic (hence his name) Prince Valium. She is seen angrily asking for her "Droid of Honor" Dot Matrix (who is named after a printing style) Vespa unshockingly gets cold feet and storms off in her luxury starship. Dot gets literally dragged along for the ride.
Dark Helmet sees Vespa and Dot in range and, realizing the princess would be the perfect pawn in acquiring more air for Planet Spaceball, proceeds to kidnap her. Her father, King Roland, proceeds to make an offer with Lone Starr and Barf to rescue her for 1,000,000 spacebucks.
Once Lone Starr gets in position, they line their ship, the Eagle 5, up with Vespa's and in the process decide to jam (literally, with a ridiculously sized jam jar) Spaceball I. Fighting ensues within Starr's ship with Lone Starr poking fun about how she's a Druish Princess (a play on the archetype Jewish Princess) and Vespa playing that stereotype perfectly. They then enter Hyperactive (parody of Star Wars' Hyperspace) with Dark Helmet using "Ludicrous Speed" in an attempt to catch up.
The Eagle 5 crash-lands on the Moon of Vega, leaving Lone Starr, Barf, Vespa, and Dot Matrix to try and survive the harsh desert land. Vespa, in her Druish Princess self, makes the men carry a ridiculous amount of luggage, which they soon drop in the sand. Lone Starr and Vespa fall in love, but Dot's "Virgin Alarm" goes off before they can share a kiss. The following night, Dark Helmet tracks Vespa down to Yogurt's lair, and tries to lure her into his grasp by disguising as her father. Dot sees through the ruse with her "Super Vision", but fails to warn Vespa in time. Consequently, they both get kidnapped, until Lone Starr and Barf travel to Planet Spaceball and rescue them.
When Lone Starr and Vespa get married, Dot attends their wedding as Vespa's Droid of Honor. As she watches the couple kiss, she delivers the last spoken line of the movie: "Well, goodbye, Virgin Alarm."
