Do you have a definite ending for Robo planned for the very distant future or is it too early?

We never plot stories that take place in the future, so there is no planned end.

It's probably true that there isn't a single part of 1923 Robo left in 2010 Robo. He doesn't rebuild his whole body, but parts get repaired, replaced, or upgraded over time due to damage or progress. Robo is stronger and more durable in 2010 than in 1923, but of course weaponry is more advanced as well. Relative to the threats his faces, Robo's just keeping up with the sci-fi arms race.

His weight has remained relatively constant. Generally any savings in lighter/stronger materials is made up for somewhere else.

And he looks the same despite all these changes because he's quite vain.

In issue 4.1 was Robo wearing a Servbot shirt? Or maybe a Lego man head?

Also, on page 16 when Jenkins goes back for Miller I would like to point out that one of the vampires looks suspiciously like her.

Lego man.

In atomic robo vol 4 issue 2 dr yumeno and robo have conversation about robo's ability to sing,dr yumeno seems sure robo can't, hence the question: Has robo been singing to a audience at some point and if so then why?

I'm going with Doc Yumeno having heard Robo do karaoke at some point.

I remember you saying at one point that Science Team Super Five were based on a specific (pre-PR) sentai team. Am I right in guessing that its bioman, or was it a different group entirely?

Kurosen · 05-04-2010, 08:22 AM

Diff'ernt.

Probably just me, but one of the Science Team Super Five members seemed to look like a goofier version of Thief.

Intentional?

Kurosen · 05-09-2010, 08:19 AM

Nope. His armor had to be Yellow to match the super sentai character he was inspired by. Scott decided he'd have blue hair because he's a Robotech nerd.

What is Robo's emotional capacity? Are there any issues that have explored his creation and/or exactly how his brain works?

I assume his brain works more like a normal human brain than your traditional android/ robot, as he can't always recall specific figures off the top of his head.
