Cornelius:
Hmmm, girl with harpoon versus combat robot. I'm not confident normal self defence rules apply, necessarily.

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.

This. I do not have a robotic body specifically created for combat, but I still have thousands of hours of martial art training over the past decade or so. Even though I've absolutely no natural talent for said martial arts, this is significant enough for me to at least know what I'm doing in a fight.
But if someone threatens me with a knife and they seem to have a working knowledge of how to use it in a fight, I'll try and defend myself if need be. But if I can, I'll talk the person down or run away. Harpoon or anything vaguely spear-like? I doubt I'd even attempt defending myself, unless a life absolutely depended on it.

Is it cold in here?:
Why would Bubbles take it to a confrontation, though, instead of saying "just kidding" and putting the flare away with a stern look to Brun about putting the harpoon away?
Cornelius:
On the other hand, throw in lit flare, and they might not even see where to stab.
