    NOOOOO

    fingers crossed that they can Hunger Games their way out of here

    (if I didn’t already have an Extremely Literal Self-Insert, Hitty would be the one I identify with the most)

      Well, not that literal. You don’t have green skin (although it’s a look), and I’m guessing you have more than two teeth.

    Please please please tell me that we are going to see some payoff from the way Hitty is the same shape as Moustachio’s body…

    *fingers crossed*
    Victory via Combining Mecha…Victory via Combining Mecha….Victory via Combining Mecha…
    *fingers crossed*

    “HITTY IS FEELING DEGRADED…”
    “What was that?”
    “A mere echo of VICTORY!”

      Hitty could consider wearing Moustachio as a hat.

      Yes, if they combine, then they’re the last one standing!

      They could even swipe a few other bots and go full Voltron. Then when “it” hits the fan, Sweetheart and Mustachio have a few other bodies running guard.

      Assuming any of them can regain consciousness/functionality to agree, of course.

    A bittersweet flik for such a moment: “Raining in Athens” by Azure Ray
    ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8R_JK1srfo )

    Now
    I think of you–tee hee
    And how I learned of Robot Heaven
    Meet the Makers? Ah ’tis a…pity
    You act as if we were old friends
    I feel, I’m doomed, Hitty
    I fear, I’m a bit of a jumble
    I’m a bit of a jumble

    At this moment
    I nurse your advice
    That roiled my poor heart
    And I’ve mastered our art of winning
    Taking the thuds without falling apart
    You shared top secrets, e’en your chassis
    When I’d
    Naught left to give
    You offered your own feminine wiles to he
    Since I met you, I’ve been jumbling
    I’m a bit of a jumble.

    And when they get together to conceive, they can name it “Impediment.”

    tune: “I Should Have Known Better,” The Beatles

    Oh, oh, I should have known better with a girl like you
    That it would end up being we two
    Oh boo hoo, now I weep, oh boo hoo

    Oh, oh, I think I can conceive of an impediment
    One of us ends up burned and bent
    Evident, I repent

    Last Robot Standing means only one
    We were just starting to have fun, oh
    Like gladiators in the ring
    Can only be one queen or king

    So I don’t see how you can be my sweet turtledove
    If I am forced to slaughter my love
    Hit and shove, can’t bear to think thereof

    In honour of the late Man in a Hat

    (Tune: A Wizard’s Staff, Heather Wood)

    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end.

    Though Hitty is big and Moustachio’s small,
    When time came to battle they answered the call,
    Other robots charged and they battered them all,
    Til all their opponents got canned,
    Til all their opponents got canned.

    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end.

    The robots they’re fighting have got many tricks
    Some armed with axes and some armed with picks,
    And other devices to cause a deep six,
    Which Craig Charles would surely see banned,
    Which Craig Charles would surely see banned.

    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end.

    When the battle is done, but both of them have stayed,,
    They start to discover the error they made,
    “Two robots standing” is not how it’s played,
    Only one can make a last stand,
    Only one can make a last stand.

    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end.
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    The robot fight has two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end,
    Two bots at the end.

    Clearly there can only be one solution: Merge together to form one epic super-robot!

    I kind of assumed Hitty was smarter than she looked and was presenting herself as bait so Moustachio could wear himself out headbutting the other robots, thus leaving him as easy pickings once it was down to just the two of them. I guess she really does like him though.
