Dear Reno,

I want a belly button. Now don't laugh at me I'm totally serious! I mean look how plain I am. I think a belly button would be a good conversation starter, not to mention a nice distraction for our local bad guys. Just think, if you saw a robot with a belly button? How long would you be thinking about it insted of shooting your laser pistol at me? What? Like ten seconds?

Well...that's ten seconds for me to play football with the baddy before Towashi shows up isn't it?

And don't give me the "Our budget can't handle that." routine huh? I mean an "inny" can't cost that much can it?

I reckon not having a belly button would be a good conversation starter, it's like having 6 toes or having each eye be a different colour.

Better yet get a belly button that shoot lasers, surely if Astro has guns in his butt, he can have a laser-firing belly button

LOL Laser belly buttons! That would be epic!

Now that would be funny. XD

Hey buddy,

Your requests usually have some element of logic to them -- but this one is, how shall I put this? -- practically human, in that it makes no sense what-so-ever.

Of course there are the costs of molding and installing said umbilical scar (you even requested a particular style, I see), this modification also requires the rescheduling of lab time in the always-overbooked Pecision Machinery Dept.

But what stumps me, Astro, is that unless you are switching to hip-hugger Speedos and no belt -- no one is going to see this belly button. It doesn't make sense for you to even want one . . . .

. . . unless you want it for some OTHER reason, maybe? Nice try, though! Next you'll be asking for an Adam's apple, nipples and chest hair -- I can't wait to hear how these adornments will enhance your effectiveness as a "champion of justice."

Signed,
Reno

@Dan -- I read the Whirl Pool story on the fan fiction site -- pitch perfect! Write Astro novels, sell them, become wealthy and make fangirls happy!

Hehe, very funny reply for Astro. XD

Dear Reno

....Whoa, did you read my mind? That's EXACTLY what I was going to ask you for next! I know they're useless human things, but that's exactly it! I want to understand humans better...and enchance my effectiveness as champion of justice!

So can you? Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease?

Signed,
Astro

P.S What does a human mean when they say they're leaving to take a leak? I wanna do that! And I wanna be able to eat lots and lots of food too! Because digesting materials looks like fun.

P.S.S Reno....who's Adam?

Dannavy, yor idea could be funny but the animators of "Arale and Dr. Slump" (that is clearly a parody of Astroboy) have preceded you. In a episode Arale sees a newspaper with naked women and then protests againt the doctor: "You made me totally plain!". The amusing thing is that, due to a lack to understanding, Dr Slump builds a pair of big boobs while Arale was only asking for the belly button.

I don't think there is even one chance that Reno could misunderstand Astro in the same way, unless Astro wants to switch gender.
