One thing about this mech is that it’s really fragile – one of the reasons it gave me such fits. And that fragility led right to an upcoming part of this week’s strips.
My second physical appearance in this strip. My first was way back during the first Cross Circuits robots show when I popped off Bender’s head.
This mech is very loosely based on the power loader design driven by Ripley in Aliens. Building it gave me all kinds of fits.
Am I really getting picked on by a webcomic character?
Sadly, minifigs don’t have middle fingers. But given the frequency I might use a certain gesture if they did, it’s probably for the best anyhow.
Here I am, sort of, making another appearance in the webcomic. Whiskey was never one to follow the rules, which means he’ll break the fourth wall whenever he wants and speak directly to me.
Some people ask “What would Jesus do?”. I like “What would Ripley do?” instead, and the obvious answer would be she’d jump in a power loader mech and kick some serious ass.
