I was sort of expecting the whole red shell to come off and have sort of a smaller gangly body underneath, based on this. Good luck stopping an AT round with applique plates, but I mean this universe has combat AI and orbital rail guns so I guess it doesn't matter... sure was nice of the army to match her skin tone so complimentarily though :psyduck:
It's surprising how human her chassis really is too. Check out those triceps.

The note indicates that she has storage compartments in her thighs, but I don't see any lines where these should be on her derma or unitard she's wearing. If it's just as deep as the armor then it doesn't have much space for ammo or demolition charges, but it might fit a micro Nintendo DS.
She's definitely Elliot size without the armor which might be a nice way to tie this story in with the one going on with the Secret Bakery.

It's going to take a while for me to get used to Bubbles' look sans armour. She's so buff that her proportions look a bit wrong to me but I guess I'll get used to it.
What is really blowing my mind is how sassy Bubbles has been getting recently! She's almost as bad as Faye is! However, I think it's genuinely good that she feels that she can be that free around Faye and doesn't need to watch where she's 'stepping'.
Oh... Panel 3 got my mind whirling. Faye definitely doesn't want to come across as overstepping Bubbles's boundaries herself which, given how free and easy she is normally, indicates a near-unprecedented level of concern for her friend. I think that Bubbles is pretty pleased that Faye is impressed though. Jeph seems determined to continue to tease and offer equivocal hints!
Purely out of curiosity, I'm wondering how much research of female body-builders and the like Jeph had to do to get Bubbles's body shape and proportions correct.

Actually, IMO at least, this is the ideal point to do so unless he has something specific planned as a next step.
Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment The moderators have huddled about Faye-Bubbles speculation.There is indeed long-ago forum history involving creepy shippers that left scars.What's going on today is thoughtful people civilly extrapolating from evidence in the comic.We're OK with that even when we're arguing with the conclusion.Of course if Jeph comes along and says it drives him up the wall then it'll be different.
Back in regular user mode, here's another speculation. What if romantic feelings develop but only on one side?

I don't envy your friends.

That could actually be quite an interesting story. Can friendship survive a one-sided romantic attraction? That's a question more than a few people IRL have had to confront.
