Could you point it out? I see an optical drive above where Marigold has plugged her laptop in (which would correlate with the positioning of Pintsize's drive slot) and above that I see something covered by RF shielding (I suspect it's the mechanics for Pintsize's arms). I don't see a motherboard in there.

It would make sense that his primary hardware is in the head because when Marigold thumped him for breast related terrorism in 1457 he starts to slur his words badly.
In addition to the other points already made about hot-swapping, decapitated protesting etc,
ps. also I think that if it was his torso then the cake frosting would have done some damage in 611 and Marten wouldn't have just left it to soak.

"what about Steve?" "we sure do miss Steve." "Steve? Oh, it's just Marten. I thought you were…" slinks off in disappointment. Okay, I exaggerate, but only a little. Are these souls no longer with us?

They've been replaced, see?

I think the forum recycles them on a regular basis.
(Just imagine what would happen here if Jeph would decide to put Hannelore on a bus...)

Ok. Sorry. My ignorance on computer HW is thus officially revealed. I thought that the stuff sticking down from the covered part looked like a stack of cards on a bus, and so assumed that the top would be hiding the motherboard. I haven't dared to add anything to my PCs myself since '01 when I added a little bit of extra RAM to keep the old reliable '94 60 MHz Pentium up and running win95. A true collectors item! FDIV bug and everything. Boots up from a 3 and a half inch floppy in one tenth of the time used by this presumably reasonably up-to-date dualcore 2GHz laptop running XP.
The point still stands. Whatever is showing in 1414 should not stay there, when the torso is used as a cereal bowl.

While it's already remarkable that we collectively do reverse psychology on the human QC cast, reverse-engineering a fictional robot really takes fandom to new, unanticipated, levels! :D
