why wouldn't astro just have gathered up all of niki's parts after the bad guy disasembld her to disable the bomb, and take her back to Dr E and have him puter her back together agane........................... without the bomb ofcorse.

and as for the legs thing, there was more of her then that still in one peace when the clock stoped, it looked like that guy just took apart the top half of niki.

I thought the exact same thing when I watched that episode.

I think I remember Dr. Elephun saying that the plans for Nikki were stolen though, and that would mean he wouldn't have anything to work from -- except that if she was created from Dr. Boynton's basic plans for Astro Boy -- it seems like he (Dr. E) should have been able to figure out a way to put her back together.

A flaw in the script! Maybe the Japanese version has more to the story...

cause it was the last episode that was created...they didn't have the time.

where can I see a list of diferiences between the en and jp versons of this ep, and the rest if posible??????????????

If you buy the 80's Astro boy dvd set you get to choose if you want the English dubbed version or the original Japanese version with subtitles. To see the edited scenes though, you have to watch it on the special features. They pretty much have all of the cut scenes except for the first two edited together episodes, of course.

Yes, it would make more sense. Surely he could have found a plastic bad and take the pieces with him.

Niki is spelled Nikki. sorry couldn't help it. And she couldn't be remade cause the evil scientist that made her destroyed the plans, and even if he (Dr. Elefun) could remake her she probably wouldn't remember who she was.

Elefun was delivered two robots mixed together at his house and put them back together, so a robot similar to Astro shouldn't be a problem. But why wouldn't she remember who she was?

personaly I think she would, remember outerspace port R45, astro brought back a robot head and accessed the memory to get a mug of a pirate, so niki could remember everything when she was powered up agane.

and scence she was simoler to astro his design could be used as a reference, niki probably get a fiew unintentional upgrades from doing that but it would work.

and as for the speling of her name remember she was rapping out her name on the side of the rocket "N.I.K.I, It's Niki!!!!!" astro yells.

No, her name is 'Nuka.' In the B&W Monster Machine Atom had seen all the plans that the alien ('Ork' in the ELV) had transmitted. He drew them all from memory, and the machine worked. I think they had to find a way to kill her, & perhaps they felt no reason to be consistent with the B&W series.

The tragedy was necessary to make the point, and Nuka paid the price for it.

Poor, Nuka & Bem, they paved the way for Normad to escape the same fate.
