    The wind-up army just going to provide moral support, while the appliances do all the fighting? Not that this is much of a fight…

      It took 5 of them to take down one human. Good teamwork on their part, bad teamwork on the part of the humans. But all the same, it took 5 of them to take down one human. So I suspect they will need the wind-ups. ^_^

        The guy they took down seems to be “the boss,” at least of the guys on the ground. They did good.

    With regrets, Mr. Monstro, no I didn’t see you wallop him.

    I think it’s just showing that the other robots have been, ah, re-energized by the arrival of the windup army. They were mostly running away before.

    Hmm – running from the drones. Why are the guys in combat armor coming rather than letting the drones continue to do the fighting? Perhaps they just want to redeem themselves after their rather humiliating performance against Unity. (Really, they couldn’t even put a few holes in her? http://skin-horse.com/comic/would-add/ )

      Well, these guys are newly-arrived reinforcements. They went to all the trouble of showing up, so they might as well sacrifice themselves, too… I mean, uh… fight.

      Honestly? The easy win would be for Tigerlilly Jones to quickly cobble together a wind-up weather control machine and use it to ground the drones.

        She’d love a Tesla coil – it’s a big spring. She could just use Mad science to make it generate lightning without needing a power source.

      They probably expected it to be just a mop-up operation.

      A foolish or contemptible person, according to this dictionary.

        Tracked it down, too. But it sounds like a certain Yiddish vulgarism, too.

      “Gibroni” is a real Italian language insult, “dumbass, moron”, etc. In common usage, this appears to be both the singular and plural form. Often used to describe incompetent lower-level workers, e.g., “The Super sent some Gibroni to fix my sink, and now it leaks nonstop.” Also used to refer to municipal workers who paint stripes on road, pave over the stripes, and then dig it all up the next week to install the sewer pipes. Or one municipal Gibroni digs holes beside the road, the next Gibroni fills them in…next week, the Gibroni with the trees show up.

      Jabroni was, at least originally, wrestler slang for someone who gets paid for losing matches (usually to make the other guy look good). It was apparently coined by “The Rock”. People have since started using the word as a generic insult. Since it’s not a common word, some people may even use it to subtly insult people without them knowing they’re being insulted.

    Teamwork for the win! Looks like the Baron’s gladiatorial matches had one positive effect – it polished the machine’s fighting skills. You know he will try to take credit for that, once he gets control of his chassis back.
