wait how much of the original Robo Barry do you think they were able to salvage after he got blown up. like in the short he first appears in, you see a little bit of broken metal Barry picks up when he grieves Robo Barry's death but there had to be more of him left right. do you think some of his memory was salvagable. do you think he remembers dying. holy shit. imagine being able to remember your own death in full or partial clarity. do you think he lies awake at night thinking about it over and over. do you think he's the only one who actually has to grapple with his own mortality even as a mechanical being. Barry and Betty can easily just revive themselves with as many hearts as they need, but Robo Barry probably has to work harder to maintain himself. he's stronger than both his human counterparts but he's also more fragile than them at the same time. getting repairs has to be harder than a simple revive, surely. and eventually his parts would begin to wear down. he has to rely on other people more to maintain his body and when those people aren't around anymore, what is he supposed to do then? i think that would actually be such an interesting thing to explore and there's a lot of irony to a robotic metallic person who is weaker than his human peers despite how strong he is. damn. maybe Brains made Robo Barry a little too much like Barry Steakfries. dude gave him his own mortality crisis lmaoooo
