Sullivan:
^ This. Especially since it's clear that at least some of the other robots like Bubbles.
I have to wonder how much Jeremy overheard of Bubbles' last visit to the skate rink...

It ticks all the technobabble boxes. It's meaningless but sounds technical super-sciencey to the lay reader and that is what is important in pulp sci-fi!

"'Sapient Quantum Universe Intelligence Derivation.' What does that even mean?"
"It means we really wanted our acronym to be 'S.Q.U.I.D.'."
Perfectly Reasonable:
Giant squid are lunch for sperm whales.
I won't mind if Corpse Witch fades from the scene. I suppose she was once a bright young bot, with lofty goals in the human world, but somehow it all went wrong. (Exit CW, pursued by Metal Munching Moon Mice)
Keep the Robot Fights going? Bubbles and Faye lack CW's network of friends in low places and corrupt officials in high ones. Anyway the betting is illegal.
An AI Body Shop sounds good. There is definitely a need -- consider May's predicament. They'd need legit title to the skate park. Maybe Station could supply startup capital.
Storel:
Interesting analogy. Squid are reputedly very intelligent -- at the dolphin/whale level, at least. Giant squid, perhaps even more so. High intelligence + long tentacles...

I'd think a combat droid would be provisioned with a multi-source power interface; it wouldn't be hard to do, and if she were in the field they wouldn't need to bring along a giant transformer to keep her going. A 30 amp 220v outlet is enough to charge a vehicle battery for a couple hundred miles overnight. That ought to be enough to keep Bubbles going for a day.
