Bubbles is already badass (a badass CEO no less), and IIRC the drone used to have all sorts of integrated weaponry (well, a bomb at the very least).
Only question is, is she /living/? Metabolizing electricity and generating waste heat’s all well and good, but my toaster and kettle do that and they don’t have Union membership…
(Also, doesn’t Unity see herself as an un-living weapon?)
Actually two of them are badass living weapons, and one of them is a badass undead (or reanimated?) weapon. It’s just that the first two prefer non-violent solutions when possible.
Also, Sweetheart has demonstrated that she can rampage when pushed far enough. I suspect Bubbles can be very determined if her goal is service.
However, I suspect they will come up with a more creative solution than simple, deliberate, wanton destruction. (Much to Unity’s disappointment.)
I am generally of the opinion that if you are a self-aware consciousness, you qualify as alive. Or are Bubbles, Nick and Unity Chinese Rooms or worse, Philosophical Zombies? Ooooh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie
Look at Tigerlily!
Went and re-united Project Skin Horse now!
You can trust her info,
‘Cause she went and got it right from the source now …
Now she’s got a plan,
And she’ll be charting out a vi-o-lent course now!
And she’ll go Fox Force Five
When she’s finding all the files to be freed!
Now that Tigerlily’s got
A team of badass live (and dead) weapons,
They’ll be taking action,
To the Institute they’re gonna be schleppin’ …
‘Cause the situation’s
Full of something that you don’t wanna step in!
And they’ll go Fox Force Five
As they’re fighting for the files to be freed!
Ms. Jones and Imogene didn’t escape “barely,” they wore era-they’re-stuck-in-appropriate gender-appropriate outfits. If they’d been bare I’m sure we’d all remember and appreciate that.
Okay, so a guy in a stark black business suit, crew cut, and ominous shades just passed by my window, scoping the scene with surprising alertness, while holding the leash of a large white dog which (not a dog expert here) looks like it might be a Samoyed.
I’m trying to figure out the scenario where Sweetheart would be quietly on a leash for walkies with Anasigma, and failing, but I absolutely cannot shake the concern that my life is about to involve giant mecha and/or zombies and/or gerbils.
Tigerlily just escapes from the Institute on a flying wagon train, and she wants to storm back in with a bunch of civil servants to try and save the day.
Obviously, when she wasn’t studying mad engineering, she was minoring in strategy and tactics over in the nearby Leeroy Jenkins Memorial War College.
Since when is Tip a living… nevermind
Nevermind? What fun is that? His mojo mostly works, and he’s good with Alice.
Don’t think it says he is one!
At least one of the civil servants is also a badass living weapon, and the rest of them can be badass when the situation requires it.
I’m still not sure how Bubbles will be badass, but I’ll take your word for it.
Unless I’m forgetting evidence to the contrary, I’m assuming that A-Sig is constitutionally incapable of building a drone without a weapons suite.

Fire-resistant. At least.

Yes, Sweetheart’s rampages are a force to be reckoned with. Watch out, styrofoam coffee cups everywhere!
It’s not the “badass” part, it’s the “living” part. Are Bubbles or Nick or Unity “living?”

If they’re all working in unsuitable civil service jobs (and Sweetheart on paid leave), that ain’t living.
Bring out the badass DEAD weapons.
Any civil servant can send out a stern form letter. The real question is, are their form letters insulting too?

Nick has a living brain. So he’s living. Also I’m pretty sure he has armaments, even if he refuses to use them.
Badass Weapons Inventory
1 undead
1 robot
1 Soldier
1 Canadian
1 Pacifist (yes, one can be a badass pacifist)

I love how baffled Tigerlily looks in panel 3.
