[[spoiler:If a sentient robot's memory chip is removed, they can eventually gain back their memories on account of their magic, even if they remain without access to their physical memory chip. This has happened before with Mang, who wanted their memories back, and Lime, who didn't.]]

* EatingMachine: Most robots in the story, namely sentient ones who have been enchanted with magic, have the ability to eat and digest food. Not having enough food has a negative effect on them and seems to be tied to their vital magical functions. If a robot consistently has less than enough food, they can become "magically malnourished", which shows differently in different robots depending on the nature of their enchantments.

* KillerRobot: Played with. Rhyme is referred to by other characters, mainly people who do not know him personally, such as news anchors, as "The Killer Robot". He has killed people, but it is not an inherent function in him. He sees organic beings as less valuable than robotic ones for personal reasons, and usually sees killing, along with other crimes, as a casual, consequence-free solution to everyday troubles if the opportunity arises. A means to an end rather than a goal unto itself. He also fantasizes about killing members of Team Reason, but also seems to have conflicting, back-and-forth feelings on the topic, especially with Static. [[spoiler: Due to the black-and-white functions of his code, preventing him from killing strangers was as easy as someone he saw as someone he loved telling him to stop. He does still seem fine with threatening others, [[CliffHanger so far.]]]]

**Lightman treats the therapy robots much worse than any employee should be treated. He justifies this mistreatment as being fine due to their lack of sentience, the only thing keeping him from guilt. Therefore, he has incentive in denouncing claims made by robot rights activists and keeping evidence provided by his robots from reaching the public.
**Professor Talon and Talon co. as a whole created Rhyme with the express purpose of [[spoiler:being a non-sentient testing dummy who intelligently could experience car crashes and other accidents repeatedly, coming back to life after each time. It was horrifying in retrospect due to the fact that Rhyme, like other robots created that way, sentient, and experienced pain each time.]] Rhyme also faced numerous other mistreatments, such as being kept in under-stimulating rooms when not in active use while being monitored by Talon co. workers.

''Rhyme and Reason'' is a multimedia webcomic that was created by [[https://juicedoesthings.tumblr.com/ Juicedoesthings]], and co-written by [[https://www.tumblr.com/passioninblue Passioninblue]]. (They are also known respectively as Mallow and Lark.) The webcomic is set in fictional Rose City, a place populated with many different species of humanoids. You would see most commonly object heads, anthropomorphic animals, the plantfolk, and more recently, robots. The story follows Team Reason, a group of roommates who have one thing in common: they have been hurt by Rhyme, the "killer robot". It is a combination of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, and deals with themes of trauma, grey morality, and how the heroes and antagonists of a story change based on who is telling it.
