We can get her a new feral head. I think the feral head looks hella sweet.

>>58262
Maybe the AI is one of Franklin's dating sim girls he tried to make and through COMIC BOOK SCIENCE! the program became sentient and uploaded itself to his robot.

>>58263
I agree that it looks sweet. However, our money is finite. Let's just slap the maid head on. Unless Buttercup has some preference?

So shall I simply get a new Feral head to replace this one with instead of trying something completely different?
Well, I can spend this money on different parts too.

Head (Sensors):
-Feral (X)

Shoulders (Armor/Ranged Weapon):
-Basic
-Basic

Arms (Shield/Ranged Weapon/Melee Weapon/Grasper):
-Claw
-Light

Torso (Armor):
-Light

Legs (Movement speed):
-Basic

>"Fair enough. But answer this: In your estimations of yourself, what would be the optimal mech design for you to achieve your maximum capabilities, a light mech, a long range one, an armored bruiser, what."
>"[Possible lag may cause strategies relying on reaction speed to be compromised. I recommend slow and steady.]"

Ha! Your audio sensors are fine.

So what kinda AI were you?

Get a feral mk. II if we can afford it... or if it even exists.

If its just a little bit more then what we earned, you can use a little bit of your fathers credit card. If mk. II's exist, they might prevent lag in the first place. We'll have to win a few matches to get the extra reinforced armor parts. When shopping, bring Buttercup with you and ask for the most efficient looking design with less gaps in preparation for the future. We can't have another Buttercup finding our own, can we?

>>58289
A shield would allow for lighter main armour, making for a rather light and fast build without too much armour vulnerability, not to mention they can be really useful to bash stuff with. Claws have the advantage of allowing you to hold on to an opponent or their weapon, though I'd probably only opt for that if there are claws that have enough power to cut through armour.

Another possibility is the dual claw build. Then you could make something with such a speed/power mix that you could tear your opponents apart with rotation and high velocity meetings with the floor. Or the slow/strong variant, that relies on armour to last until it's in reach, then simply pull them limb from limb.

>>58289
Naw, just use the maid head. Unless it's inferior in sensory capabilities. Since Buttercup wants to be a more "slow and steady" player, we should probably slap those reinforced shoulders on as well. Now, I notice that the basic arm is being essentially useless, so let's replace that with another claw. And then we're good.

Of course, we should not ignore the possibility that the lag to which Buttercup refers is not actually an issue, merely the slowdown caused by electrons (and thus data) moving at the speed of light. Or something else, but still normal for fightmachs, and nothing to worry about.

>"..Alright, fine. We'll come back to this later. Now, let's do some shopping. I know where I can get some old parts for free that will help modifying you to suit your tastes some more, but I am worried about patchwork assembly leaving gaps in your armor like in Blockbuster. Well, let's look for a new head atleast--"
>"[Wait. Do these parts include a head?]"
>"Yes, a Maid-style head."
>"[Then I suggest purchasing only a toolset. I am well capable of modifying parts you give me to form a complete suit if I have access to the proper tools.]"

Being a toolset for Buttercup and letting her work with the parts from the trash will set me back the same amount as a new head would, but will let her work out any gaps in her defense.
The parts still in the trash are
-maid head
-2 reinforced shoulders
-1 heavy arm
-treads
-uniwheeler

>>58307
Heavy Arm, Meido Head, Shoulders.
Pending approval by Buttercup, of course.

Alright, replace everything with those parts except the basic legs. The others aren't slow or steady. Treads will just get in the way with no defense bonus if I'm correct.

>>58307
Get the toolset. Much better long-term investment.

Reinforced shoulders are likely a good idea. Heavy arm... I dunno. I don't really know how it is. Could be good, could suck.

>>58309
>>58310
I agree with these posts.

Alright, the toolset seems like the wisest choice. I'm sure they'll let Buttercup clean the parts too.

Make sure to include Buttercup in whatever happens, disguised if needed.

>>58328

"Well, I can't take much credit, really. Buttercup was the one who did all the real work."

Thanks! I couldnt have done it without you! Without either of you. Sometimes I feel like I'm the luckiest guy on the planet.

... you're not going to start throtling me or anything now, are you?

>>58328
"Thank you, but Buttercup here should have most of the credit. She saw the flaw in Blockbuster's armor and exploited it."

"Thanks but it was more like Buttercup was great. She's really smart and strong, like you are. I never knew you were that good at auto-mechanics, either. Where did you learn to build her so efficiently? You have a hobby I don't know about?" Those probably aren't the best words, but when she's flirting with you, be modest and give Buttercup most of the credit. You've got two people caring about what you think of them and they're really useful for achieving your dreams. You can't alienate one for the other.

>So shall I simply get a new Feral head to replace this one with instead of trying something completely different?

Get an upgraded feral head or a new one of this model. It looks bitchin'.

I think we should stick with the feral head.

Are you sure you want to get a new head, Buttercup? You look oddly cute with that one. ...well, before it got banged up, anyways.

Remember to grab the maid head, the reinforced shoulders and heavy arm, having a basic structure to work off of should let buttercup modify herself far more ably and quickly. Also, improved RAM and whatnot might help allow buttercup to live up to her full potential.

Well i'm not sure what your allergies will allow, but you three should go celebrate the victory.

Right now, they (At least Buttercup does) see each other as rivals. This will get them to cooperate at least a little.
Even if we end up having to choose, this will make them more well disposed towards each other.
The problem is either of them finding out.
So essentially, I'm suggesting we do something stupid and self-destructive for the off-hand chance that our admirers will stop glaring daggers at each other.
