WCDT Strips 3031-3035 (24th to 28th August 2015

Well, this might explain why May is typically in a fairly poor mood. This strip confirms that the warders at the Robot Jail basically stuck her in a chassis that is a low-quality rebuild job (one leg is probably a transplant off another decommissioned chassis). Imagine, if you will, what it must be like to be permanently stuck in an ill-fitting and only moderately-functional body!
Oh well, no-one ever said that parole should be easy!

I am sure he has a more active social life than Bubbles. Things that weigh two tons and are bolted to the floor probably have more active social lives than Bubbles.

He's currently up to volume 6 of his Iron Man fancomic, in which Tony is captured by villain after villain, leaving the robotic arm from the lab in the film no choice but to mount itself on a mobile repulsor platform and fight crime.

Observe the enormous semantic gap between "I am not a thing" and "I am nothing."

It's curious; the name implies that Jeremy self-identifies as male even though he is completely non-humanoid in external appearance. If Jeph felt like it, he could go on a whole long odyssey about AI self-identifcation and sexuality based on this simple hook.
However, it is more likely that this was just a warning to Faye not to pre-judge an AI by their chassis. Just because something doesn't look even slightly human-ish doesn't mean that they don't have feelings and even gender identity. Heck, you could turn it on its head; it's possible that Bubbles' self identification is not even slightly human-like and she enjoys living as if she were industrial machinery rather than people!

Yes... Even worse than a "demob suit". I wonder what May's body was before she tried to steal the money to buy a fighter-jet chassis?
