Conservation of volume. Shapes mimicing a female form then to lose volume around the waist. I have to imagine that energy density is a lot better in this timeline, but any extra volume could be being used to house energy storage. In the end it's odd they take human forms at all, but that could be weighted on human biases as well. Stereotypical female shapes likely mesh better with human society as a whole.

And interesting amount of modesty goes on in these places. I suppose it's hard to get too hung up on a look when you can litterally swap your face later. You would select on base features and upgradability. You measurements would likely be an artifact of the internal volume needed to house the capabilities you wanted.

You are cute, but I'm suddenly worried how Faye will feel. (And I feel bad that I hadn't thought of this sooner).
Patrick Jackson

So, was this whole sequence just an excuse for Jeph to change Roko's character design? I'm not complaining, of course.

OK, if this chassis is "All That", how does a chassis with an ass emblem STILL have a neck seam? I mean, really, why?

Aww, Roko. Please be happy with your new body, you're more than just your body. You're still you. And go and put Crushbot out of his misery, I'm sure he feels terrible. (I may be a tad over invested in this)

Time to spend some extra money on the after-market German joint and bearing package and the new high-efficiency wiring harness, maybe spend a bit more on augmentation packages.

When Faye and Bubbles find out about that, poor Roko will be the butt of SO many jokes.

We need to see this emblem.
Alcaria Swain
2019-01-08 02:47:06 +0000 UTC
Is there a model sheet or breakdown of any differences between Roko's old chassis & new (I mean, besides the emblem, we do no need to see that thank you).
2019-01-08 02:45:18 +0000 UTC
This is kind of a nit-pick, but the mirrors in panels 4 and 5 appear to be reflecting the original image over the wrong axis.
