Big important sounding words for science!
(Actually, someone help me out. Is Phil talking about arc reactors or what?)
Nuclear powered ones, yes.
But I feel the Q&A section is gonna be....more fun.
Maybe someone finding out how Robo used to plugg into the chinese nuclear grid?
"You can reply to this Message!"Silly question: was there any explanation about why Robo is back to his classic appearance? His body was rebuilt from scratch in Ring of Fire, with a slightly different appearance. He was still "new look Robo" in Bug Hunt. But at the start of Spectre of Tomorrow, he's back to "Robo classic".
Admittedly, it's been maybe two years since Bug Hunt (Sept 2015 to sometime 2017), so he could have gotten some bodily reconstruction since then. But considering how limited his resources are while rebuilding Tesladyne, I doubt he'd have much means or motive to do so unless something major happened in the meantime.
It's just his head. They probably stuck some head caps on.
Maybe he wanted 'His' face back
"You can reply to this Message!"My bet is on ALAN. Who else is betting ALAN?
I'm putting money on that Project Daedalus, for a change.
"You can reply to this Message!"It certainly fits him aesthetically, but overtly hijacking a guy in public like that seems too overt for his normal sneaky-secrety style. I'd expect ALAN to just make his puppet leave a note when nobody's looking or something.
Spectre of Tomorrow's chapter 2 cover
In which Lang has to deal with even more shit...
Oh my god the construction vehicle has a Decepticon symbol on it.
Also everyone looks so tired.
Vick looks tired, Lang is all non-stop. Plus I didn't even notice that Decepticon logo until you pointed it out. (Atomic Robo/Transformers crossover when?)
Oh and look!
Also, if this page looks off, there's a reason:
If you didn't, uh, see a doctor.
Long story short: we screwed up. If you want to ge specific I screwed up but let's not get bogged down in pointless details, hmmmm? We had a choice to toss a million pages at Anthony with an impossible deadline to color them or to put a hold on uploading pages for a while. These were dumb choices. So we figured, what the heck, let's just upload the pages without colors and that way you guys still get content without killing anyone behind the scenes. Win-win!
We'll replace these with color versions when they're ready. Meanwhile! You can pre-order both the first and second issues of Atomic Robo and the Spectre of Tomorrow. Head to your local comic shop or grab 'em from your favorite online store. As usual comiXology versions will be available day and date with the print versions. Same for Real Science Adventures!

Seems Europe decided to started their own ULTRA
But, you know, sane and not full of assholes
"You can reply to this Message!"Huh, so far so good.
Let's just see if that director lady doesn't eventually get Drunk with Power...
(Then again, major props for wanting ex-Tesladyne engineers to be leading a project rather than just being part of it.)

Things won't turn out well.
Bernard at least should be able to stick through it if things don't get better. He seems to have transcended the human need for hope, which makes for a very sustainable state of semi-functional wreck.
Well, I assume Roboute can tank a shotgun shot, so she might just want to make a point
"You can reply to this Message!"
"Can I have an earlier time?"
"Dunno, I'm not sure you are important enough. I mean what was your last contribution to science?"
"...I helped avert a global nuclear catastrophe and everything getting eventually consumed by Biomega."
"Yes but have you published about it?"
