LESS THAN A WEEK UNTIL THE MOVIE'S RELEASE

[fistbump_bot]

 Hey, I know, I get it! You're totally pumped up, so noooo judging from me.

Just saying that you better be ready to have some pretty annoyed people flying your way, since Baymax and I haven't actually hit all the big screens yet.


What, me? I'm not nervous about it. You're talking to a bot-fighter, remember? Takes a lot more than that to rattle me.

Bot fighter?

[fistbump_bot]

[Then you, my friend, are in excellent company~]

Yeah. Never heard of bot fighting before?

[vibrantium]

No I have not, but I'm something of a robot...enthusiast. Or the potential thereof so I'd love to hear all about it.

[fistbump_bot]

[Awwww, "enthusiast". Clearly that means Hiro must educate you.]

Well, lucky for you, I happen to know a thing or two about robotics.

Bot fighting's kind of a... underground sport. People build their robots to be able to take down any opponents, get together with other people who've done the same, and they see whose bot is stronger. [Shrug.] Pretty simple, really.

[vibrantium]

[Yes clearly. the 1940s were so neglected in robotics]

...Is that right?

[He nods] so what, more fire power? More means to...say punch and take them down? Bigger guns?

[fistbump_bot]

[That's the saddest thing Hiro's ever heard.]

Yeah, well- Kinda. Some people go for installing drills or saws, strong clamps, blades, stuff like that. Pretty sure firearms are a no-go since it puts the spectators at risk of getting hurt. Besides, aiming a gun via remote control isn't exactly the easiest thing to do.

[vibrantium]

...Gonna disagree with you about aiming. It's all a question of radio connections and signal strength.

Drills and saws and clamps though. [This sounds neat] no wonder it's illegal.

sounds like fun though. Which is a shame.

[fistbump_bot]

Not everyone's smart enough to get the kinks worked out there, though. [He grins a little. He doesn't say it, but it's definitely implied that he is.]

Oh, bot fighting's not quite illegal. Betting on bot fighting, that- That's illegal. [But so lucrative!]

[vibrantium]

[Oh he likes you.] Is that right. Got any samples? visual aids I could see?

[And he snorts] philistines the lot of them.

[fistbump_bot]

[He smirks a little.] What, you want me to reveal all my secrets?

[Then he shrugs one shoulder, smirk still in place.] They can't help it. They're too used to sitting inside the box to try thinking out of it.
