They would be playing it like a good cop-bad cop thing...

*Scene- Interior, early evening. A counsellors office, containing one smart couch and two person-sofa. A small coffee table with a pot plant is between the two seats. On the larger sofa, a human couple in their early forties, EARL and JASMINE. Neither are making eye-contact, and by their expressions we can see they are both angry. Opposite them sits MOMO, a petite AI with pink hair. She is holding a note book.*
MOMO: "So neither of you are willing to back down on this?"
*EARL and JASMINE shake their heads, still unwilling to look at each other. MOMO sighs.*
MOMO: "That's a shame. Well, I'm sorry to have to do this. Ultimatums are not my preferred way of doing business, but I see no other way forward. Either we resolve your differences or-"
*From the distance a low roar, increasing in volume. The camera pans around to face MOMO, her head now framed by a window looking out over the setting sun. As she talks, the noise of the engine increases and we see a distant speck grow larger as MAY approaches at cruising speed.*
MOMO: "- I will be forced to reffer your case to my partner."

I appreciate the linking as it can be helpful to know what page people are discussing if one's not reading the comments right away.

A Gundam is a more reliable choice, but I’m still partial to Zakus.

--- Quote from: Emperor Norton on 22 Feb 2018, 07:49 ---Several Gundams have shown some amount of autonomy actually. The examples that come to mind are all from Gundam Wing though, like Sandrock basically telling Quatre "get the fuck out, I got this" before it walked out into a battlefield and exploded. The Zero system also did some stuff that might be examples of the beginning of AI.

Well all right. A sound choice, then. Probably not a lot more socially able than the average guy, but definitely cuter.
God damn it, I am getting faintly teary at the thought of a fighting suit in a series I have never seen and have no interest in seeing sacrificing itself. Definitely time to go outdoors and contemplate the humans.

It's actually a pretty good scene. Two of the other characters had loaded their Gundams into shuttles to launch into space, and Quatre was protecting them for launch. He didn't see how they would be able to launch without getting shot down, so he was going to use the Sandrock's self destruct to destroy the enemies, sacrificing himself and Sandrock to let Duo and Wufei escape to space. When he pressed the button, no explosion. Instead Sandrock holds up its shield in front of the cockpit and opens the cockpit. At which point, Quatre says he understands, jumps out, and Sandrock marches towards the enemies before self destructing and destroying them, allowing Quatre to escape to space in another shuttle sans mecha.
It was really effective as it showed both Quatre's willingness to sacrifice himself for his friends (which he was a super cinnamon roll character), and then how that had somehow transferred to Sandrock through it learning from him.
... I watched that series a lot back in the late 90s.
