** Upgrade still being a canon character has since been confirmed, as she appeared in the 10th Anniversary Concert alongside The Jon, Hatchworth and the current bots. Erin Burke (Upgrade's actor) has also taken part in some SPG content since her departure from the band, such as several episodes of the Bennettarium podcast, hosted by David and Bunny Bennett (who play The Spine and Rabbit, respectively).

It's just that the other robots pretend she doesn't exist because she ran away after an argument with The Jon that he still feels horrible about. They feel it's better to suppress their memories of her than relive that day.

Given that The Jon is no longer one of the original robots and was instead Hatchworth's replacement after the latter's malfunction, perhaps he was the kid who was turned into a robot, maybe in the early 1900s, but was in reserve until the 1930s. Thing is, he came to regret it, and that's why he wants to be a human so badly. He was once, and wants to be again.

So how could it be that a robot with no true emotions like Rabbit could fall in love at all? Perhaps instead, Rabbit merely *believed* that s/he was in love, hence the extreme melodrama that seems to follow, "Turpentine erase me whole" etc. etc.

Rabbit merely acted on protocol, and adapt to surroundings. S/he did what s/he believed was right.

[[WMG: "Honeybee" was pretty much just a huge misunderstanding]]
Listen closely to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDRHx4cPgbE "Brass Goggles"]], namely the lines about "living things have(ing) feelings". It seems fairly strongly implied that our favorite automatons don't have emotions *at all*.

* Walter Girl Paige greeted a follower on Twitter with "Hello, fellow human female!" which seems just a bit too...[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial specific.]] Plus, Bunny Bennett once mentioned that the satin striped fabric used for the bots' costumes is meant to convey an artificial, man-made quality about them, and the labcoat dresses worn by the Walter Girls are made of the exact same fabric, but white. My guess? [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Walter Robotics has gotten a lot better at making their robots look human over the years.]]
