[TEXT TRANSMISSION]

Noisy Boy's got some friends here, yeah? You guy should be careful around him, old thing's completely blind. No question about it. All those punches to the head must have knocked something loose.

[AKA can you believe Noisy insulted his obviously gorgeous self?! Only blind people don't fawn over him. And nobody likes blind people.]

The humans not me! They stare at your head long enough and they might not fawn over me as much.

That is hardly my problem. The humans can be intrigued by whatever they wish to be. I had better press than you, anyway.

And yet my career is better than yours.

And yet you have not been in any publications, because the careers of Underworld bots mean little to the rest of boxing.

League boxing isn't real boxing, you can barely fight. And your handler's new bot had an Underworld career.

And if he gets into the League they will discount him for that fact. The Underworld is not boxing, it is barely-coordinated mayhem.

The humans wouldn't call it boxing if it wasn't boxing.

Boxing does not include kicking. Otherwise it would be called kickboxing, which is illegal in the ring. Which is what you do.

People wouldn't make as much money if we did things legally.

They make more money in legal matches.

Your fans too?

[Because Midas is all about making his fans love him even more.]

They do. And they have stuck by me even after my loss to Rubicon. Can you say the same?

You really don't know much about the Underworld. I've never lost, my fans don't have to deal with loosing money.

The only fans that truly matter are the ones that forgive even those losses. Otherwise they are not truly fans at all.

Doesn't change the fact that I don't loose.

Someday you will. What then?

I'm not you, I won't.

Every champion eventually fails. Sooner or later, a stronger or faster bot will come along.

Not going to happen.

It will. It is inevitable.

It won't.

Our technology will advance and you will fall behind. It is the same thing that happened to the G1s.

Or Artie could improve me. Not that he's got anything to improve.

It is much cheaper to build a new bot than it is to attempt to retrofit another one. It is probably why Charlie got Atom rather than repairing me.

Artie wouldn't do that.
