Where the Heck was the last panel yesterday? I though Trazer was on the ground “out for the count”? What the Heck is DT even shooting at? The laser mouth? The Pink Goggles? Where is Groin Bot?
The Saga continues……for at least another month….
Oh, you guys have been complaining since Easter about Tracy doing nothing, and here he does something and you put him down. Not fair!!
Where is the SWAT team with the assault rifles?
I think DT’s shots will distract MF long enough for mini-Dick to pop out just as MF is about the make soup out of Tracy’s brain.
Meanwhile, the SWAT team will round up the evil gang.
Just where has this fight between the bots been going on? I thought they were inside the Genesis building? And Braces and the wonder twins were watching the fight from outside using their long distance x-ray vision. Now, suddenly, the robots are outside. The other cops are in limbo, and the crooks are just standing there.
No logic at all.
Finally DT does something. A police special probably isn’t enough firepower against BF, but maybe that will energise the SWAT team to bring out more meaningful guns.
Meanwhile: Back at Police Headquarters, Liz realises real trouble is afoot and calls for real backup. Off in the distance at the fight scene, the air begins to fill with a steady drone and the skies begin to fill with— Sopwith Camels coming in to hit BF with everything WW1 technology could bring to bear. BF will never know what hit him.
I wonder if we can get Grokenstein and Bassman Bob to join forces? Maybe I’ll pitch in the odd item now and then, too.. Who knows? We just might come up with a DT storyline that would be worth getting up early for.
Tracy felt like an old fool! He knew what everyone was saying behind his back. How his time was over, how he had lost his nerve and was going senile. If only they knew how much they wounded him with their words!
“It’s all “chief” Lizz’s fault, she’s the one behind all of this, this attempt to force me into retirement”! he angrily snarled.
His inability to provide his robot, Traze-R any help in his battle with the other robot, Brute Force only drove Dick deeper into despair. He snapped to attention when he heard;
“U R history, Tin man”!
“What did she say”, ‘you are history, Tracy’? “Does chief Lizz plan to take me down right now, after all I’ve done for her over all these years”?
Tracy looked towards his robot and for the first time noticed Traze-R looked just like him. When he looked at Brute Force all he saw was a maniacal ‘Chief Lizz pounding her fist down on his own head.
Dick began to cry for youth lost.
Tracy whipped out his pistol and pointed it squarely in the direction of her head.
“Not if I have a say in the matter”!
Just a wild guess here, but if all I had was a police special and I had to shoot it at Brute Force, my first target might be that laser. I’d want to take that out before it took anybody else out, and chances are good that the laser isn’t protected against bullets. Of course, it would take expert marksmanship because BF’s helmet does offer protection for the laser, but if you can get your bullets through BF’s mouth opening you’ve got a chance.

“As for the Crimestoppers Textbook: Where was this two weeks ago when we changed the clocks back? That’s when you replace the batteries you old doofus!”
Now that Daylight savings time lasts for almost 8 months and standard time for 4 (early November to early March),those aren’t the best days to change batteies. Locher’s right to make it more general. Pick your own convenient 6 month intervals, such as the first days of spring and fall.
I don’t know “for sure” if it’s even necessary to replace those batteries on a six-month time table. The nine-volt alkaline battery has come a long way from the ones we had just a few years ago. I WOULD recommend testing the device every so often to be sure it’s still working, most of these things have a test button for that purpose. Do replace the battery at least once a year just to be on the safe side.
Guess the colorists were so busy trying to impress us with gradient tones that they forgot to make the laser red. As a result, it looks like BF is shooting a strand of Silly String into Traze-R’s face. Thank goodness for the label.

Whoa, Tracy pulled an actual GUN. One that goes “POW POW. That’ll stop’em for sure.

Tracy’s shots will have no effect.
Aw, bleeep, I forgot to write “SPOILER” at the top of my comment…

Actually, I doubt that either robot has air-inflated tires. But if the police can shoot enough chunks off of one of MegaForce’s tires, he’ll be stuck.
