Motion!So, wait, if Robot was the one talking last time, who's talking this time? Maybe it's the good old-fashioned "stack people on top of each other and hide it with a coat" gambit. A classic. This chapter is going to be amazing. Ben

Bested by a mere second!
Yeah, Robot looks pretty bad-a jumping off buildings like that. Kat knows how to make a good machine.
I'm thinking that's Shadow2 talking at the end there? Maybe that's why Robot wears clothes: so Shadow2 can go with him when he travels around without being spotted.

I guess Kat is the angel and robot is the parkour bot. Maybe they want to study different court robots to see how the originals were put together?

I remember when Shadow 2 called Kat, "Princess Kat". I'm sure she wouldn't mind being called "angel" again. It kind of makes me wonder if this robot is linked to Robot #13.

So, this is Robot's new body? Doesn't look too shabby if you ask me.
Also, the Sky Watcher's eyes make me think of Sam Fisher.

I kind of understand what Azeltir is saying, but would other robots refer to each other the same way?

This is the only explanation that makes sense to me, until we know more. Now you guys see, why I said in the last discussion thread, that all we need to do is just be patient and things will become readily apparent. It's interesting that the two truths revealed here, were also the least popular and most down-cast speculations just two days ago. Now everyone will carry on as if that speculation never happened. And so it goes. In a more productive vein, though, I really like the dynamic motion of the action scenes here. |

Who was it that first called him Parkour-Bot? They appear to have been spot-on.

Shadow2 is my guess with this one, but I don't think I would have guessed it without Pyro's help.

I first used the term parkour-bot. But like I said yesterday, what does it matter? Giving out cookies for speculating seems to cause more grief than the momentary jollies it brings... |

Are the comics appearing earlier lately? They used to pop up at about 8:00 GMT, but in Monday and today I saw a new comic on 7:00 GMT.

Seems likely; I can't think of any other good reason why a second voice would come from Robot. (The voice-bubble isn't jagged like the robot ones usually are, so it's not Robot talking to himself.) |

As far as an entire hour though, you might be seeing the results of different Daylight Savings schemes between your country and the UK. |

I'll bet Kat is using Robot and Shadow2 to lure unsuspecting robots for dissection.
Poor sky watcher is doomed!

Parkour-Bot (née Robot) is incredibly awesome and also super cool. Also, I really like the idea that the voice in the last panel is Shadow 2. Note the blueish speech bubble; he talks like Kat. |

Looks like Robot has been getting some practice in with his parkour. I wonder if he does this often, assuming this is really Robot. Or why Kat built him like that, if he was built for free-running, that is. But I suppose we learned from the laser cows that utilitarianism generally doesn't suit the robots well.

What's a parkour?

Post by Yin on Oct 28, 2009 12:23:00 GMT
Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement (English: the art of moving) is a physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, as if moving in an emergency situation, using skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves. The object is to get from a Point A to a Point B using only the human body and the objects in the environment around you. The obstacles can be anything in one's environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures that are accessible to most people, such as buildings and rails. Yay Wikipedia! |

Running from rooftop to rooftop as a sport. Sort of like a steeplechase for someone with a deathwish. It's also known as "freerunning". Also note that it is parkour, not " a parkour". Here's the wikipedia article; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour |

Thanks. For a while, I thought it was a weird spelling of "parka", referring to his clothes.

Alright, I'm cool with calling it Robot now =p
Also, clothes are totally for Parkour, cookies for me, and as it turns out they're also to hide Shadow 2. Neat!
I like action scenes like these. Well done, Tom!
Edit: Casey, I was totally going to call you out on the order of calling parkour on our friend there, but it turns out we simulposted, so it's a sort of tie. Not that it matters, thus giving pause to the forum about a comic on the internet.

Looks like those robots have been taking lessons from Eglamore.Nice page. Kinda fitting that Kat models Robot's new body after her favorite resident dragon salyer, isn't it? Looks like Eggers may have serious competition now, when it comes to jumping.  |

Post by Casey on Oct 28, 2009 15:41:37 GMT
Oh, whoops. I guess we all assumed it was a deliberate homage to the sport. Or maybe Tom is telling us here that he prefers free-running to "the other term". |
