* ArmorPiercingSlap: Delivered to XR in Chapter 5 after he goes too far, not only making fun of Jax's fear of space but implying she can't feel empathy. More like armor piercing punch, but same principle.
-->'''XR''': ''Jax pushes him over''. What is wrong with you?
-->'''Jax''': Me?! You couldn't have mentioned that you come apart like a ''jigsaw puzzle?!''
-->'''XR''': ''That's'' What this is about?
-->'''Jax''': I thought you died!
-->'''XR''': That's the whole reason I was built! I thought you knew!
-->'''Jax''': How could I know?!
-->'''XR''': Why are you even so upset? Worried you'll have to deal with the oh-so-scary spaceflight back to base by yourself?
-->'''Jax''': ''She punches his dome with a loud "crack".'' Go to hell.

'''XR''', Star Command's only robotic Space Ranger. Up until this point he has worked exclusively with Team Lightyear. If you need to read this character page to know who XR is, chances are you're not going to understand a big portion of the comic. He has [[Characters/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand his own character page]] on the [[BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command page]], but since he plays a very different role in the comic from the cartoon he has some new tropes of his own for this page as well.

to:

'''"Primus"''', Formerly known as Autopilot 99. Alleged robot supremacist, really all he wants is a little justice. Primus has been a part of the Parhelia for over five years, and is head of security. However, recently there has been an extreme amount of strain between he and his superiors. [[spoiler: Zurg's new army includes ''intelligent'' hornets, which he sends to attack the Parhelia almost daily with the war on their heels, and the Parhelia shoots them down like they would any other intruder. Primus obviously has some very strong reasons for fighting against this. They're sentient robots, and so is he. He can't shoot down his own kind! And asking him to do so is madness.]] Of course, the Parhelia would kill any intruders, organic or otherwise, sentient or non-sentient, but Primus never really thought about the moral implications until it started to affect him, personally.
