I think the eye, hand, and brain are a reference to the first & second Terminator movies. Those were the 3 parts of the T-800 that survived, and Cyberdyne unwittingly used them to complete the time loop and create Skynet.
Eye did survive? Im remebering only damaged brain-chip and a hand.
This strip is awesome i was wondering whether we would see Station adress Creepybots. Notice recharge station to the right. Now speculative question would be if those bodies are only remote-controlled avatars or they posses computational capacity on their own.
Also do you remember that strip, where super-human intelligences were discussed? There was mention that AIs like that have human-style consciousness only as a subroutine, as seen on station who uses his projected body only to interact with us, humans. On the other hand, creepybot collective seems to use bodies and they act as a human(cleaning, watching stars, cooking, pets, relaxing on couch) even if no one(except for dogs) is present. They may be more humanlike than not.
Edit: Maybe they
want to be like humans? Would go nicely with whole "sanctity of mind" thing and could be made into future arc.
