Yeaah..... we kinda saw that coming, right? Oh, well... poor fight-bot... and I guess 2013 understood what was going on and wanted to offer her a last view of the world before the end. Such a noble way to go.

Inapropriate ,due to the feeeeels of the situation, question: Why two explosions? The fight-bot and Death's glider exploded at the same spot, right?

[Monkey Mcdermott]

Maybe we can stop seeing so much sympathy for that devil scientist now.

Yeah, I suspected it'd go this way. Still a big sad to see it. Wonder what that'll do to Botsy. Maybe she'll try to track down who was behind fight-bot's orders and demise.

[Miss Magenta]

I sort of like Milton, but he's garbage as far as I'm concerned.

More than anything, I'm disappointed in how little appearances she got before being untimely killed off, and how little she was explored as a potential character. I wouldn't really mind so much if we were given enough time to really care. Like, I'm a little sad. But not as much as I feel that I should be.

But we can always put on our denial pants and pretend that she's alive and well. What? Blown up? Of course not. She's at Seven Eleven getting an icee.

When I saw he went the Predator route with the wrist countdown, I really hoped it was Predator 2 by the next panel with the arm being removed. I kinda still hope that happened and she's just 'armless now strung up in a tree for granny to get down...

I really like that 2013 went out doing something noble. A nice change.

[Random Wanderer]

Don't worry, she'll be found covered in soot, her clothes burned, and her hair smoking, but otherwise perfectly fine. Old-school cartoons have taught me that explosions are always completely safe!

I'm putting odds of this actually being the case at around 15%, give or take.

[Miss Magenta]

Well, since this entire strip is a call-back to last year's strip - wherein Weaponized Fembot is given the same role as Xanthe's trike - it could be possible that some of her parts would fall to the ground, much like Xanthe's trike. Rogue could find them and request that someone - most likely Tess, as not only would Rogue not approach Milton, but he'd likely refuse, and we don't know anyone else who is technologically-savvy like them - try to fix her.

Of course, it's very likely that the data containing her memories and who she was and could have become would be fried... but not only would it not hurt anyone to be optimistic about the idea of her circuits being okay enough for her to be rebuilt, but it'd be pretty interesting to deal with the moral complexities of trying to bring back someone who is already dead in such a manner. For instance Tess could rebuild Weaponized Fembot, but isn't really the same person that she had become, and... well, how that possibility effects Rogue Fembot is really up to you, I guess, but... man... I kind of think that'd be cool. Regardless of whether or not her data is or isn't salvageable.

[Miscorpio]

what happened to the mask in the last panels?

[Miss Magenta]

Guess it came undone and flew away. You can sort of see it flying off in the panel between :01 and :00.
