"I've never been a soldier before. I've been sent as a peace emissary to a warzone. I've fought against other robots and some monsters who were putting the public in danger, but I'm usually seen by people as a peacekeeper and an ambassador for robotkind.

But as you can probably guess, I've never fought to the death with anyone, let alone a human or organic person..."
