Talk:Bender Bending Rodriguez

Way too many alternate forms. I propose we remove ones that aren't actual, physical changes.

Vote?

Seems appropriate, although most of his modifications are indeed physical. But we can rule out clothing, for example.

I think we can rule out "Safe Bender" and similar. Objects added to his anatomy for a gag shouldn't count, either. Or we'd have to add all kinds of stuff like the plug Bending College was uploaded into, the port his harddrive/brain is in, and just about every odd thing that was in his chest cabinet.

I think we should add iObey bender. I put them in for somebody to add them if necessary.--Zoidberg 22:01, 17 January 2008 (PST)



Description, where?
I feel that the way the article looks now is a problem. Cause the description (which I have saved keeps a lot of good information), therefore I am pondering if we should make a section called "biography" or "overview" or something else and put that information in there. And then rename the current "biography" section to "story". --SvipTalk 02:37, 6 February 2008 (PST)
 * You may be right there, the biography is huge (as it should be) and the lead-in is minute. - Quolnok 03:17, 6 February 2008 (PST)

Bender Tattoo?
Anyone suggest a good episode (and time index, if you have it) to get a screencap of a nice Bender pose to be t'too'd upon one self? I've been wanting one for a while now, but I can't think of what sort of thing to do. Preferably just Bender, without his accoutrements. I.E., no beer or cigar. Although, I did have one idea of having him have a beer in one hand, a cigar in his mouth, and a laser-pistol in the other hand, and headlining it "ATF" (as in the US government bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms), but I probably won't do that one. I could do the one from the sketch on this page, but the pose is sorta bland/lifeless. But yeah. *jiggles away* --Buddy 19:51, 10 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Two things. Maybe use the bend over pose that is used in Parasites Lost when they bend over to look at the small Planet Express Ship.  And secondly, in Futurama it is "Bureau of Tobacco, Firearms and Soft Drinks", tsk tsk.  Haven't you watched Fry and the Slurm Factory? --SvipTalk 04:14, 11 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Hmm, not a fan of tattoos myself. How much real estate shall he be taking up? I guess a shot of him raising a fist in anger or possibly even the "I'm unstoppable" pose from the pilot. Though the time code tattoo shouldn't be counted out. Admittedly they can't do the tiny binary code... - Quolnok 08:15, 11 May 2008 (PDT)
 * I'm not big on tattoos, either. It's taken me this long to finally find something that I like enough to have permanently embedded in my flesh. And I'm still not 100% sure. The real estate would be the upper right arm. If I did the time code tattoo, it'd have to be on my ass, and I'd rather be able to show off my tattoo without getting arrested. ;) --Buddy 13:34, 11 May 2008 (PDT)
 * What? Mooning is illegal in America?  And you call yourself the land of the free?!  I fart in your general direction! --SvipTalk 14:01, 11 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Land of the free, so long as you don't offend our puritan ideals. America is a country of prudes. Seriously. --Buddy 08:23, 12 May 2008 (PDT)

Bender's Age
I know the comics aren't totally canon, but they're close enough, so long as they don't disagree with show canon, right? Anyway, in the latest comic, they specify Bender's age (using carbon dating). A carny tries to guess his age, and nails it. Or would have nailed it if there wasn't time travel involved (he cheated, reading the manufacture date off of Bender's "butt-plate"), but then the Professor explains the time travel and uses carbon dating (but because that's not quick enough, changes to carbon speed-dating). He determines that Bender is 27,000 years old. I can't remember the exact number, because I forgot to bring the comic with me. Anyway, then they decide that he's way past retirement age, and then the robot death squads come to take him to the near-death star (the first robot ever taken there) but later he's rescued. Anyway, after that, they upload his memories into a new Bender unit, effectively resetting his physical age. So we could either list the age of his mind (27,000+ years) or the age of his body (<1 year). Eh? --Buddy 22:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
