Because they're going into battle against a crazy boat! Given the level of robots and manufacturing available here I could see them adapting speedboats into battlespeedboats in a matter of minutes.

Presumably because the speedboats are too small to mount meaningful kinetic or laser weaponry, and the distortion field would interfere with radar-guided anti-ship missiles

Jack whipped together a functional drone from spare parts in less than 20 minutes. I'm sure the robot kingdom has access to explosives somewhere.

The way things are happening in this chapter makes me feel like it actually is going to get "wrapped up" soon. Or at the very least it's headed towards a big WHAM like the two last mort chapters were. Those two chapters were basically the same thing, but the first part ended with mort goin "PLEASE TAKE ME INTO THE ETHER". I'm feelin' this cause of the way the comic keeps jumping from scene to scene with quick jumps in the action and poo poo. It's like wham bam kablam.

"Possibly the only speedboat jumps I've planned into Gunnerkrigg." Thank you for putting that 'possibly' in, Tom, it puts my mind at ease.

Frankly every chapter should include speedboat jumps. It's irresponsible that they don't. I feel like the robots are going to bust in to stop the ship, and Paz will have already had a nice conversation with it and solved the problem all peaceful-like. Of course, there's still the problem of dealing with Fun City after that.

Of course, there's still the problem of dealing with Fun City after that. This seems very likely to me. The robots are the red herring, and their campaign is concluded swiftly and peacefully, but then everyone realizes just what it means to be in a Level 6 Aetheric Distortion. "Do you realize what you did?! This is like dropping a nuclear warhead to make toast!"

If you were reading this chapter all in one go, instead of a panel every few days, it'd probably be the fastest-paced one to date.

Wait so the speedboats have torpedoes but not parachutes? You're losing me, Tom.

Interesting. Those were totally remote devices, and still look to be under (more literally) puppeted control; is it the ship or something else? Also, kinda sad that the new invaders didn't get transformed the way the other bots did.
