** The giant "Spider" bot that the Legion used, forcefully shut down Rusty's body before making the transfer. Rusty's AI "woke up" in a software based "containment field." Considering how badly Donovan wants Rusty scrapped, and how risky this is for Dr. Slate, it's not surprising that Rusty's "learned Rustiness" doesn't have a backup. In fact, it's amazing that Dr. Slate has backups of the original software.

** The primary reason is likely that the BGY Commission wanted a replacement for Big Guy as Lt Hunter would eventually have to retire or die of old age and his own human needs (such as sick days, vacation days, off time) means that he's not truly able to be a round-the-clock hero. In addition, the Big Guy requires a lot of secondary and tertiary hardware (as well as a full pit crew) to maintain. Rusty, on the other hand, just needs some power-down time to recharge his batteries and can effectively patrol the city at all times. And his entire maintenance department is one scientist (admittedly a very brilliant scientist, but still one person nonetheless).
