History PlayingWith / PickYourHumanHalf

* '''Straight''': AL1-C3 is a RobotGirl [[TinMan who acts very robotic]], while B-013 is a TinCanRobot that is very human and gregarious in mannerism.
* '''Exaggerated''': AI1-C3 can't even walk down the street without glitching out and has a [[BlueandOrangeMorality very odd mindset.]] B-013 acts so human that anyone who heard his voice would think a human was speaking.
* '''Downplayed''': Both robots are TheStoic and talks in monotone, but B-013 has a dry wit and gesticulates more, while AII-C3 is constantly using robot speak.

** [[TinCanRobots Tin can robots]] have fewer points of balance to deal with than [[RobotGirl robot girls]], so don't need to spend as much of their processing power on maintaining balance.
** AL1-C3 and B-013's coding were accidentally switched, resulting in AL1-C3 acting robotic and B-013 acting human-like.
* '''Inverted''': AL1-C3 acts very human while B-013 acts robotic.

** It turns out AL1-C3 just has a shy, stoic personality, with very reserved body language.

** AL1-C3's personality was programmed in [[TheMole as a disguise]], and it turns out [[StrawVulcan she's a completely emotionless]] RoboticPsychopath.

* '''Zig-Zagged''': AL1-C3 is a spaceship girl, and is very bubbly and snarky when speaking on the ship's radio, and very stilted when talking as her human avatar. It turns out she feels the latter is her "true" form, and feels shy when speaking in "person;" her radio personally is a product of the GIFT. [[BlueandOrangeMorality She still has some weird moral ideas, however.]]
* '''Averted''': AL1-C3 and B-013 both act like typical robots.

** The creators wanted to give AL1-C3 the UncannyValley look while making B-013 lovable enough for their audience.

** "Wow, AL1-C3, you seem extra metallic today! What's got your central processor in a Rom-error?"

** AL1-C3 and B-013's creator programmed their personalities like that as a contrast.

* '''Exploited''': To infiltrate the HQ where AL1-C3 and B-013 were made, Carol acts and walks robotically to disguise herself as a RobotGirl, while Dave gets into a cardboard mo-cap suit in order to mimic a less human robot.
* '''Defied''': "I'm a little bit insulted that you think I would talk like a robot just because I AM one."
* '''Discussed''': [[WhiteDudeBlackDude "B-013 be all like "Why hello there friendo!" while AL1-C3 be all like "Statement: Hello, my name is Insert Name Here."]]

* '''Straight''': AII-C3 is a RobotGirl [[TinMan who act robotic]], while B-013 is a TinCanRobot that is very human and gregarious in mannerism.
* '''Exaggerated''': AII-C3 can't walk down the street without glitching out and robotic stomping, and has a [[BlueandOrangeMorality very odd mindset.]] B-013 is a hyperactive Keet.
* '''Downplayed''': Both robots are TheStoic, But B-013 has a dry wit and gesticulates more, while AII-C3 is constantly using robot speak

** Ridiculous human robots speak and talk robotically because they feel the need to reaffirm their roboticness, while machine-like robots act in a very human-like way to reaffirm their sapience.
** The current state of the art makes it impossible to fit a computer sufficient for a full human level AI inside anything human looking, let alone the power supply. A SpiderTank however can fit it after replacing the crew compartment.
** [[TinCanRobot Tin-Can Robots]] have fewer points of balance to deal with than [[RobotGirl Robot Girls]], so don't need to spend as much of their processing power on maintaining balance.
* '''Inverted''': Robots act like they look.

** It turns out AII-C3 just has a shy, stoic personality, with very reserved body language
** It turns on B-013 was trying to hide his identity and his normal 'personality' is very robotic indeed

** AII-C3's personality was programmed in [[TheMole as a disguise]], and it turns out [[StrawVulcan she's a completely emotionless]] RoboticPsychopath
** B-013 doesn't [[TinMan even realize he has emotions, and edges towards a]] HeelFaceTurn
* '''Parodied''': B-013 gets a more humanoid body, and immediately starts acting robotic, to the utter confusion of his friends.
* '''Zig Zagged''': AII-C3 is a spaceship girl, and is very bubbly and snarky when speaking on the ship's radio, and very stilted when talking as her human avatar. It turns out she feels the latter is her "true" form, and feels shy when speaking in "person;" her radio personally is a product of the GIFT. [[BlueandOrangeMorality She still has some weird moral ideas, however.]]
* '''Averted''': Robots act like they look.
* '''Enforced''': B-013's voice-actor has trouble spouting robotic lines without {{Corpsing}}, so they don't even bother getting him to.

** "Wow, AII-C3, you seem extra metallic today! What's got your central processor in a Rom-error?"

** AII-C3 and B-013's creator programmed their personalities like that as a contrast.

* '''Exploited''': Carol acts and walks robotically to disguise herself as a RobotGirl, while Dave gets into a cardboard mo-cap suit in order to mimic a less human robot.

* '''Discussed''': [[WhiteDudeBlackDude "SpiderTank robots be all like "Why hello there friendo!" While human model robots be all like "GREETINGS MEATBAG."]]
