Dollars to donuts Locher thought Magnum Force was a cool name, then after the first few strips were published Warner Brothers pointed out that he was using a copyrighted name and threatened to send Clint Eastwood after him.
This is really bad. These giant tin cans have think chips, and the best they can come up with is beered-up responses from the local bar. Too much to drink and wanting to fight over nothing. (OK, stolen information isn’t “nothing”, but the uber-drunk fight scene these robots are displaying still isn’t quite right somehow.)

MF/BF must have long arms to be able to punch Robo-Dick in the face and still stay as far away as they are in the third panel.
Marguerite, did Kersten ever respond to your guess on Locher retiring to the old folks home?

I thought these robots came with think chips. I demand a refund, the think chips don’t work!

Who’s the ringside announcer (“Traze-r is hit!”)? And why didn’t it start with..”Are you ready to rumble???”

Frankly, Traze-R… That’s an improvement!

I have two takes on Panel #1
Traze-R is talking in 3rd person and declaring that he is hit
Tracy is telling Traze-R from the background ( I SH^&!) - just bad spacing.
SKLINK???? Nice one.

Who wants to bet Traze-R’s face will return to normnal in the next exciting episode, without explanation?

Milkbot’s little tank will blow off one of MF’s wheels an’ dent the top of his head.
Yep….. I vote that Milkbot’s dent will be gone in the next segment, or at least uniDENTifiable.

No, he never did.
