i must say that if, somehow, there were Atomic Robo Cameos or Easter eggs it would be totally awesome and appropriated.

Hell, im just glad we're getting more of your write style with a fresh setting...

One thig that confuses me though is Warbot's look in this seeting. I got a "Dilbert" vibe of it and i dont know if this is good or bad

I fully agree that Brians writing is teh 1337. And if it's not PvP + a robot, that's awesome.
But, and this is probably a dumb question, what IS warbot? is this something we've seen already somewhere? Like "hey, you all know me, and now I'm in accounting!" OR is this just new, and kind of thrown out there?

It's a robot made for fighting things put in an office setting. I'm pretty sure the premise is fairly clear.

Ok, what I meant by that question was whether this was a character that had been established somewhere else... something a little more subtle than just the obvious.
Yes, I think that with Brians writing the giant death-machine in an office setting will be hilarious, but I was simply curious if there was MORE humor to be found in some sort of meaning I'd missed

Ya, the tape holding it all together was a nice touch

I can see the fan emails already:

"Dear Warbot,
How can you type with a giant gatling gun for an arm?
Crapfully yours,

Default An amusing and topical anecdote

Unexpected consequences of having to unexpectedly use your personal laptop for an office presentation: having to spend 10 minutes before you do it explaining who "WARBOT - in Accounting" is, and what he's doing on your desktop.

The fact that he's a comic character for a comic that doesn't actually exist certainly didn't help matters any.
