All that’s needed for that is to get one of those pneumatic wrenches that they use on Indy racers to change tires during pit stops. Plus, bonus: Tip gets a cool toy with an excellent sound effect.

In the office, Sweetheart got a dressing-down …
Came with a smile, but she left with a frown!
Harsh to yonder pup?
She will toughen up!
She’s good; she’ll need to be better!
If there is a question that you wish to say,
Then dear Moustachio, please ask away!
Power? Need a lot
Just to build a ‘bot!
It’s good, but it can be better!
Yes, I’m making things better
So Sweetheart shouldn’t get her
Tail in a knot!
Nuclear reactors,
They may have their detractors,
But I think they’re hot! (many ways!)
So Moustachio will say, “Transparency,
As you define it, is quite new to me!”
Meanings get abused,
This, I’ve always used!
It’s good, and I’ll make it better!
Double-plus good! I could only remember the chorus initially, but then playing that through my brain meats got me to the versus. Is there a triple-plus good? Maybe there should be.
It’s amazing home much expression Shaenon is able to draw out of a pair of curly eyebrows.
And the mustache. Can’t forget the mustache.
…Well that makes sense. I wonder if Moustachio will get to pilot it?
He does have a passing resemblance to Dr Robotnik in profile, so he’d look pretty good in the cockpit of a mech.
No, no. This is the sort of thing that Gavotte would want to control herselves. The entire hive under one giant plastic dome on the top.
It’ll give her and Nick something to talk about and compare notes on.
Actually, M won’t be the pilot, even though he’s sitting near the cockpit.
AlBEEgas!
Ah yes, the Voltron that might have been…
The dynamic between Gavotte and Moustachio is just fantastic……..it’s a shame we don’t get to see them all that much in the main comic.
Backup story in the next collection….?
To be fair, that’s still more information than Helen would have given her subordinates.
Could this be Madblood’s unfinished giant robot project that only got as far as Foot? Because I’d love to see more Foot (and Zeta, too, thank you).
Could this save Tip from winding duties? But isn’t that the main reason for having him to start with? hmmmm

Building Voltron to save the Universe….
OR – G is saving up for a rampage….

She must be in possession of The Beeserkest blueprints.
Just wants to slightly modify it to be able to pilot bloody thing and stay alive.
I’m amazed the team still trusts Gavotte. I certainly don’t.
“When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.”
Hmm, can a sentient swarm of bees go Mad in this universe?
HOLY CARP-NUGGETS (yes I spelled as I wanted to, on porpoise)…
SHE’s HILLARY CLINTON!!! 😛
Huh. And we thought Artie was good at anticipating behavior.
What, pray tell, does Artie have to do with this?
Gavotte, unspoken, “You get one question. Make it count.”
That’s some long-term foreshadowing.
I am amazed at how far ahead the dynamic duo plan this material.
