They tend to kill a LOT of people when they do this. Boomers have a tendency to go rogue- meaning, their core, which is essentially their brain/heart containing circuitry and flesh, mutates, causing the robot to go berserk. You'll see them called Voomers at times- all v's in Japanese are pronounced as b's, much like in Spanish. It is after the second Great Kanto Earthquake, which leveled Tokyo and was rebuilt, using humanoid robots called Boomers. For those who don't know, BCG 2040 is an anime (Japanese cartoon, but isn't a very accurate description) based off of the first OAV series (released directly to video) called Bubblegum Crisis. I can't believe I've been reading this book series for the past four years and somehow been inserting an 'n' into her name every time I read it… Kami-sama, baka desu. Disclaimer: Neither Protector of the Small nor Bubblegum Crisis 2040 belong to me, and I make no money from this work of fanfiction at all.Ī/N: This is a crossover, which takes place after Lady Knight but is an AU for Bubblegum Crisis.
