Cornelius:
On the other hand, we've never seen evidence of repair, even where we know in comic that they have replaced the dermal covering.
BenRG:
With the exception of May, of course. Her dissimilar colour derma replacement was very, very obvious.
All other chassis that have had repairs after serious damage have been 'Tin Woodsman' semi-rigid hull units without derma except, possibly, on the face panel.
Cornelius:
Then again, for her, it was a question of "this is all I can afford".
Such repairs would likely have been made on bubbles when in the military, and I don't suspect they stock more than the standard issue dermal covering. If anything at all, as the role of AI in the military seems to be somewhat vague at the moment.
traroth:
Honestly, I think even if Bubbles' skin isn't somehow armored, she is proficient enough in combat to have nothing to fear from that harpoon. Brun should be careful not to threat a tiger with a butter knive...
I would say the ethical problem is different: should you really allow yourself to do whatever you want just because you are stronger and can beat anyone? Bubbles behaves somehow like a bully, even if it's a passive thing, something like "prevent me from using a firework. If you dare..." I think she's more oblivious than bad mannered, but still.

No.
Even with her combat training, Bubbles is at a disadvantage here. One of the things that many modern self defence teachers will tell you is that you can have all the training in the world, but if someone picks up a rock (or in this case a harpoon), you have two choices - Run away or Fight. And more often than not, they'll tell you to run.
