Buzz, we hardly knew ye.

There's really no use denying it.  Buzz is gone.  Panel four is pretty conclusive that the little guy blew himself apart for the good of humanity (and it's also conclusive that he wasn't filled with bees).  I'll always remember those seven days that he was a part of the comic.  He should be given a memorial medal for his service (but we all know that he won't.  This is going to be just like the Chewbacca fiasco from the end of "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" all over again.).  At least he went out with a dignified KA-THOOM.

With all of the robots out of commission, Braces and Tracy finally meet (and we also finally learn that the Mysterious Lady of Evil is named Roma, which makes the whole potting shed hideout make a lot more sense.  It only took how many weeks to learn who she was?).  It would seem that Braces might have also grown attached to old Magnum since he wants the remains, but somehow I doubt it.  I think that he just wants to make sure that the police can't pick apart the robot's brain and find out all of Braces' secrets.  

Finally able to face his foe, things start to look bad for Tracy since he and Mr. Police Hat appear to have forgotten their guns (though why Roma would bring a Derringer to a gun fight I'm not sure), but just when you think this story might be winding itself down amid a hail of gunfire, it turns out that Magnum survived the explosion and that Brace's Braces might be highly magnetic (which make his last words an unfortunate pun).  Quick, someone call an orthodontist!
