Raise a glass to the sidekicks.

I shudder to think what this comic would be like if there were no feisty, tiny robot sidekicks that lived inside of giant robots.  (Granted, this is the first tiny robot sidekick that I am aware of, but still, where would the comic be without it?)  I knew that TRAZE-R wasn't done yet.  He even seems to be trying to pick himself up and continue the fight, but with the sad state of his wheels, all he can do is stand up, maintain just enough balance to let the little guy out before toppling over again.  (The little guy sort of reminds me of a tank from "Combat" for the Atari 2600.  All we need now is for TRAZE-R's flat top to flip up and a tiny plane to fly out of a previously unknown hanger.)  As you can see, Buzz Bomb (or Buzz, as I shall call him from now on) is the pinnacle of technology.  He's got a video camera and a gun, so not only does he mean business, but he also wants to record it for posterity (and to possibly go over the film later in order to figure out ways to improve his performance).  I am a little worried that the little guy won't survive his encounter with Magnum, and not because I'm afraid that Magnum will run him over.  No, it's all about the name Buzz Bomb.  Anything I've ever encountered that had the word bomb in it tended to end up exploding, and though I've only known the little guy for a single comic, I know that if he does live up to his name, I'm going to miss him terribly.  (I'm also going to laugh hysterically if it turns out that he's full of bees.)
