Why a medic? A medic wouldn't need a body that can punch holes in brick walls.

They would if a wounded comrade was on the other side of the wall.

Saw a picture on imgur of a guy who'd forgotten to charge his forearm's batteries before leaving for a trip, so he was sitting in an airport lounge where people were recharging their phones and tablets with a cable running from an outlet to his carbon fiber forearm with anatomicly correct robot hand at the end of it. If he'd been at all self conscious, I'm sure there is a synthetic skin the thing could have been wearing.

That arms owner is actually an actress, and according to her Twitter, she has several coverings for it, as well as several types of arms/attachments. And one of the best Furiosa cosplay I've ever seen.

I think May's face in panels 3 and 4 looks surprisingly like Gavia's.

It's been bugging me all day trying to figure out what May's head in panel 2 reminds me of and I just realized it's a watermelon.

That the quips got old?

To be fair, joking aside and with the presumed lack of optional features (I imagine the fight club has plenty of the basics, but not a lot of the flashy stuff), it's May's body, she's the one who'll have to live with it, so Faye and Bubbles do need her input.

It's fascinating to me, as a dude who spends way more time focusing on color and shade than I aught to, that 'khaki' qualifies so close to Faye's face color. This is not a problem, because Jeph was probably using less-red versions of tan fotr Faye's face than my rosacea-cursed ass would have chosen, but it's nonetheless fascinating.

TheCollector · « **Reply #166 on:** 10 Mar 2016, 22:21 »

I love May's new head.

Anyone else notice how with her head having the fake skin covering, but the rest of her body still being blue and robotic she looks alot like Ava from Ex Machina?

Holy funk she does. I would now make a comment concerning the ending of Ex Machina, but I will not because I want all of you to spend money to find out how that brilliant movie concerns itself.

BenRG · « **Reply #168 on:** 10 Mar 2016, 23:15 »

Bless him! I'm quite sure that Punchbot intended that to be only a 'friendly punch', just as he received. However, I suspect that they've so enhanced his pseudo-musculature that even that is like being hit by a truck!

I'm not worried about May. It was just a silly arc-closing punchline. Although, I can see May waxing lyrical and initially refusing to wash the impact spot. Jeph did a good job here emphasising her teenage girl side and I'm expecting any consequences of this interaction to reflect that.

Timemaster · « **Reply #169 on:** 10 Mar 2016, 23:50 »

And the next picture is from Mays perspective, lying on the ground, surrounded by Faye, Bubbles and Punchbot.
The following one is pretty much the same, only Mays arm added, giving a thumbs-up and a speech bubble:

"Totally worth it!"

Just because they're monthly mags it doesn't mean they'd be in the same stand. Unless it's also aggressively terrible porno.

On May's state, I think I have to go with Timemaster's idea. Something on the lines of "THAT RULED ASS"

May's head is about the same colour as me. The rest of her is the colour I'd be if I lived in one of those extreme northern climates. Depending on what she wears, she may find an easier time "passing" amongst humans.

I gotta say, May wound up looking pretty good. That head could seriously pass for human. Which leads me to wonder how many of characters in this strip are actually robots?

Today's episode brought to you by Poor Impulse Control.

Maybe in some terrifying alternate universe where May didn't go to jail, she got married to Punchbot and now the two of them are flying around strafing sheep with missiles and miniguns.

jheartney · « **Reply #189 on:** 11 Mar 2016, 11:13 »

It's been a bit overshadowed by the Big Punch, but is that a different hairpiece on May? The old one was looking really spiky by the end, and this one is more soft. Plus I'm guessing that the old one was produced by auto-installing large numbers of hairs, while the new one is manually sewn onto the scalp. The old hair thus might not have been removable from the old myomer.

If it's new, then she's lucky the Robot Fight Club had a full hairpiece laying around in the correct blue color. Whichever, the new look is a lot softer. We'll have to see if this experience has softened up May's personality to match.

Maybe it's the same hair but Bubbles washed it?

MooskiNet · « **Reply #192 on:** 11 Mar 2016, 11:42 »

Those appear to be clippers Bubbles is holding. I think she gave her a trim along with reinstalling her hair.

Zebediah · « **Reply #193 on:** 11 Mar 2016, 11:42 »

Yeah, I got the impression that it was the same wig but Bubbles did some styling on it.

May exhibits poor impulse control; Punchbot demonstrates that impulse equals change of momentum.

Omega Entity · « **Reply #196 on:** 11 Mar 2016, 21:42 »

The hair that May's chassis came with was made out of some kind of cheap plasticky material. I recall her warning Dale against touching it too much, as it gets bent out of shape pretty easily.
