[891] The Tomb! Where is It?

Nice karate move on Robots part, with orange/amber danger/warning color of the eyes. I guess Annie was charging up a kamehameha, but Robot had a better idea.

Robo-frankenstein sounds pretty desperate, and did he make that hole or was it a result of Robot crane kicking him into the wall? O.o

penta: Well, that robot was hurting Kat, maybe without realizing it, and someone had to move quickly as Kat was in danger of getting her wrist crushed.

I wonder where he learned the fighting moves from, Kats console games?

Jeannes tomb is the only tomb we know of. The fate of Diegos body is lost to the sands of time. That doesn't mean Diego, Young, and the other founders weren't buried in a mausoleum or something somewhere.

Although its not really a tomb in the sense that a body was ever placed there or meant to be a burial place.

I expected something like this (and Robot's awesome save), but that crazy bot just tore right through a wall! If he's indeed referring to that weird shrine for Jeanne as the "tomb" it'll be interesting to see what it does.

Otherwise, we've got another mystery at hand.

Welp.
That's it.
My OTP is now RobotKat.
If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

Tom's actions scenes have really gotten good, especially when it comes to Robot being awesome.

I'm also very curious to see what Annie was planning to do there.

In panel three, I was almost thinking Annie's next move would have been to shout Kamehameha.

Hadouken!

Frankenbot didn't strike me as acting violently at first; intense and unaware of his own strength (or rather, Kat's fragileness), but not violent.
Ripping open the wall, on the other hand...
Anyone else think that, if we were listening to this, his voice would be desperate (Or as desperate as a robot can sound)?

Orange eyes = Attack-Mode for Robot, I guess. This is a new thing, so I wonder if we should be on the look out for other robots also having orange eyes.
And that brings me back to the point of Frankenbot not actually being violent; his eyes were green the whole exchange. It could be a modern addition of course.


My guess is the tome is Jeanne's, on the basis it fits with the rest of Deigo's work so far.

Same here. Then again, I suppose you could look at it as his having left behind his robot "toddler" phase and being currently in the midst of a moody, shy, crush-harboring robot "adolescence"? Which is kind of cute, too.

It was to happen sooner or later, and the current administration might not be so jaded and totalitarian to bury every evidence again. They have nothing to hide, at this point. It's not the current people's fault.

Also, i'm amazed by annie's reflexes. She's faster than robots! Awe
If there's anything i'm worried about, is the state of Kat's joints, and her possible horror-i bet she never envisioned something like this, for her robots are fundamentally benevolent. And this is clearly not pre-scripted.

Also, Crowning moment of Awesome. At least in S13's (bloodshot, furious) eyes.

I also get the feeling that Frankenbot was just desperate. He was suddenly awakened in an unfamiliar place, and presumably he has a duty in the tomb. The current generation of robots are pretty obsessed with that place, but this guy has a first-hand purpose to be there.

I'm still really curious about that scratch, though. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that each of the shrinebots has an identical scratch. Will Kat fix all of them, or will something happen with Frankenbot to make it clear that they can't risk waking the others?

Huh, robot karate...

Right, lets sum it up.

This comic includes;

- A fire elemental hybrid
- Kat
- Talking sentient robots
- Living shadows
- tree spirits
- magical powers
- Kat
- tree wolf
- insane coyote god
- giant intelligent crabs
- robot karate
- Kat

God I love this comic.

I can't help but wonder if robot is aware of himself when in "orange" mode..

Actually, back in spring heeled, there were several robots with the security people that had orange eyes as well. So it could be like a defensive mode, although they did have orange badges to match. Doorbot also had the amber/orange eyes when he was being grumpy at Annie and later as he calmed down.

In doorbots case, it seems to be more his grumpy personality than defensive mode.

Edit: Also here when those robots were being serious. So, it really depends on the general mood.

@foreshadow: I'm pretty certain he was since he stopped Annie from doing whatever it was that she was doing right before he attacked as the blast could have hit him as well. Could also be from being not exactly sure what Annie was about to do.
