Something sunny and I were talking about made me think of this. (btw- I don't think I've said it yet sunny, but your avatar is adorable. :3) We were talking about the "robot spit" bit in "Lightyear Factor" which just got me wondering - why did the LGMs give XR spit and tears? I personally like these little additions because they make him seem more human, and I'm sure the writers just put them in there for gags like the one sunny mentioned. But why would the LGMs give him tears in the first place? It doesn't seem very wise, seeing as he's made of metal... wouldn't they just make him rust? Maybe this was something they added while they were all "out-of-sync" in TAB. Anywho... I'm really just trying to generate discussion. Thoughts?

So he could show emotions, of course!
(Thanks, btw)
I don't really know. The tears could be a glitch. He has so many things inside him (tools and such) why would there NOT be an emergency water supply in there? Maybe it accidentally got connected to his eyes and since the water doesn't seem to hurt him, the LGMs just decided not to fix it.

(You're so welcome! That does make sense; I'm trying to remember him ever using water... I know he had an icemaker in Enemy without a Face, so yeah, he probably does have water in there somewhere.

I think they probably did it to make him seem more human. He is, after all, designed to interact with organics on a daily basis, and they would have wanted him to be 'relateable'.

Well, I mean, why carry around a useless HAIRDRYER instead of WATER? I mean, space rangers are probably in alot of tight situations and need to survive, and water is probably pretty important for the organic ones.

I like the fact that XR has tears. I think that it makes him more human as well.

Who knows, though you guys are probably right. Though heres a silly answer, maybe the LGM's were going through some personal problems at the time? XD

Lol! I never imagined the LGMs being sad... XD Now I can just see them in an emo fit throwing all kinds of random objects into XR.
LGM: Aw, who cares anymore... *slams in a plastic chicken*

Poor LGMs. xD But they have been sad! In the episode 'Nos-4-A2', after Nos magicly tied up everyone in the control room, the LGMs were all sad and like "This cannot be..." And the Dark Master's little helper came by and went "Can so!" Now I've got a question:
WHERE DID HE GET THAT DARN CAPE!? He just shows up after Nos said "Which brings us to, 'Monster's little helper.'" I wanna know where XR got the cape...

Who knows! Maybe he was saving it for a Halloween costume! Yet again, another silly idea!

He's probably going to stay indoors on Halloween. >D I'm planning on wearing a Dracual cape the week before and during Halloween, since it's on a Wednesday. And my assortment of crazy Christmas hats for Christmas. I'll take some pictures and put them up when the time comes around. x3

Totally. I'm being princess Leia. I think he could go trick-or-treating! If he wanted to, he could pass off for a three or four-year-old, right?

No, I mean he won't go outside on Halloween because of Nos! No one said Zurg didn't decide to rebuild him. Besides, Zurg isn't that smart, and prolly got a blown up palace after Nos was done making his point. xD XR: -does not know Nos is back- Oh boy! My first Halloween! -excited- Nos: -flies down in front of him- And your last... XR: Hey! Nice costune buddy! Very authentic! Looks almost..-releizes something-..real... -gulp- Nos: Quite right you are. -laughs- XR: -screams and runs away-
