    Oh hi Belle! Yeah makes sense for her to be here, in hindsight it's pretty odd that she wasn't. I know they didn't come up with her until a few arcs later but still.

    And now we have Gizmo vs Rough and Tumble set for next time, which should be fun. Him not being there for the Angel Island battle is a shame, but they handled it in canon with just the standard crew, they'll be fine.

      As far as I know, Belle was originally supposed to appear at some point during the Metal Virus arc instead of after it, but plans changed. Just like how Surge and Kit were supposed to debut alongside Starline in the rough draft for the series, where they were androids instead of cyborgs like in the final product. Gadget is filling their original role to an extent, now that I think about it. And if he's a true android while Surge and Kit are cyborgs...hmm, where have I seen that before?

      I did also have Gizmo joining the big fight when I was crafting this initially, but as you said, the canon crew handled it well enough, so they can manage without him. We'll have to see how he handles the two skunks first before anything else.

        ...aaaaand now I'm reminded of a scene from DBZ Abridged, because that series lives in my head rent-free.

        "Affirmative. I am Android 16."
        "Oh. Errors have been made."

        Damn you, Team Four Star.

          "I am purely bio-mechanical, unlike my brother and sister, Cyborgs 17 and 18."
          "We call them Androids."
          "Well, good for you. You're wrong."

          Damn you, TFS, indeed.
