CUB Background

Background I

Punchy's calm, quiet characteristics often give others a misunderstanding that it is not equipped with an autonomous emotion simulation system. It always watches everything around itself in silence.

Background II

The designer has not put an absolute limit on Punchy's transformation mechanism while it is on standby, so don't be shocked when you see a fist next to you. Maybe it only wants to give you a thumbs-up, or a cup of coffee.

CUB Story

No.001

Punchy was originally an auxiliary machine used by Lee of Gray Raven to collect the combat data for his new frame. The Science Council later modified it into a Combat Unit Booster that could link to Constructs, and added more nanomachine parts for combat.

No.002

No one would have thought that Punchy was once a smart desktop companion that could be bought in any gift shop during the Golden Age.
Its parts have been replaced numerous times, but there is one part that has never been swapped out. Even though it no longer serves as the core drive, it still fits perfectly in Punchy and has become its "soul.”

No.003

I recently found something: When connected, Punchy's screen will display irregular emotes. The root cause is yet to be identified, but given this has no clear impact on the collection of combat data, no repairs have been planned.

Update: I figured it out! It will synchronize with the emotions of the Constructs that link to it, and show them in these emotes!

Update: The emotion synchronization does not seem to apply on Lee. He always has a poker face when Punchy's screen is rapidly changing... I'll just keep the record here. Attachment: Below are the emotes of Punchy during a joint operation between Gray Raven and Strike Hawk: (` д`) [twice] (-‘-)[twice] (?_?) [3 times] (/////) [once], ◟(*⁰▽⁰*)ﾉ [once]
