Yeah I found that part of the comic kind of weird. Felt like they were trying to create drama where it was unnecessary. ://

The comic isn't the real story. It's just to promote the toys.

 

Surge wasn't left behind like the website or the movie showed either.

Maybe they get ripped apart for scrap, rebuilt differently with new and improved armor and mechanics and reprogrammed with the latest hardware inside those magic tubes?

Spoiler alert: The counter-argument to this post is "It's just a story."

 

In the latest LEGO Mag's Hero Factory comic, the upgrade process is described as "too dangerous to use again" in reference to Evo and Nex. It is then said, "Upgrade. So powerful a process even the bravest heroes feel fear at its name." Excuse me, but they're robots. They don't get "upgraded" in magic tubes. They get ripped apart for scrap, rebuilt differently with new and improved armor and mechanics and reprogrammed with the latest hardware.

(And it felt not dissimilar to creating the Toa Nuva.)

 

My thoughts exactly.

That's just absurd.

Well, sapient / sentient robots; that's not something that's gonna happen any time soon. As for reprogramming, I'm sure it would be scary for them if there was some error and they essentially "died" by losing their programmed personality. But yeah; rebuilt by tubes? I'd imagine it more like a surgery room or whatever.

 

Also: "Dude, it's just a story."

 

This is also in a story where Vapour--a robot--has breathing tubes. Clearly, these robots are ridiculously human-like, which means that it's possible certain aspects of their physiology/CPU/mind/etc. must remain "activated" during upgrades.

 

What really confuses me is that this is their upgrade to being 2.0 Heroes, yet all Heroes are afraid of upgrade. How would they know what it is like?

I am in total agreement there.
