   So, this takes place somewhere between 2065 and 2085… Unless this is after 2085 and Camp Vulture has been fixed up. I doubt it, though.

   Hmmm, both ’13’s are yellow, and have a remarkably similar facial structure, but a little different body structure - either there are two different 13s, or there could be some sort of ‘armor’ that diplomat/technician models can ‘add on’…

   Interestingly enough, V-13 looks more like a human in a suit than any other Flobot I’ve seen yet. Though the diplomat models wearing clothes in the third panel are a close second. And we’ve finally seen the bandannas from the ‘Fight with Tools’ cover art.

   This is shaping up to be a nice framing device for the much-needed backstory.

   As mentioned before this gives a great insight into the dynamics of the Flobot. My curiosity keeps me guessing about what the rest of the story will bring. What roll the characters will play. Or better yet what philosophy or creed do these machines run on.

   *****although the credentials seem to have been verified, something unusual occurred in 13’s processing sequence. A very human like occurrence that could be relative to what the human’s call intuition. When trying to gain clarification from the core communications hub, scrambled transmissions began to emit*****

   Defender and diplomat models?

   Reminds me of these nonviolent peaceforce:

   They are unarmed people deployed to conflict areas with the following mission:
   -Accompany civil society activists, particularly human rights defenders and peaceworkers

   -Provide protective presence to vulnerable groups and communities

   -Monitor ceasefire agreements and other volatile situations

   -Connect vulnerable communities and local peaceworkers to national and international resources

   -Link local leaders, communities and individuals working towards peaceful resolution of conflicts

   -Provide safe places for conflicting groups to meet and dialogue

   They are badass. They are the future. Check them out…

   So, not trying to hate, but I remember in the last one, a bunch of people got in an argument about the flag bandanas… If the Flobots were originally coalition and instilled to upload the principles of what one can only guess is the Declaration of Independence, why would they wear the bandanas???
