Also, the suicide booth has a "Quick and painless" modus which may be a high energy laser? Or a desintegrator? Fluor-acid?

- Being crushed by Destructor - Asteroid through the head - Axe in back, drill in forehead - Various things in 'Tale of Two Santas' (shot, burnt) - Being shot in the head in 'The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz' - The ending to 'War is the H-Word'
Since he's a robot, and have shown that he can survive just find without a body, you can only truely kill him if you erase his program. Depending on where in his head the storage unit is located, you have to aim pretty precise to hit it. Body damages doesn't concern him, only a head wound could. The only thing that had potential to kill him was the meteorite in "Godfellas". The suicide booth probably had a way of producing an intense electromagnetic pulse, which would fry his circuits and thus kill him.

So there is nothing else what could harm/kill a robot? What about "Fluor acid" (chemical: HF - however that's called in English ...) ?

Bender seems to be quite able to feel pain ("Raging Bender" springs to mind.) As for the chemical approach to dissolving him, anything short of submerging him into boiling aqua regia would be too damn slow and even then I would still take quite a while due to the surface/volume ratio. No acid works as fast as the stuff you see in movies. As for HF (hydrofluoric acid) it's probably one of most vile acids to get exposed to, but it's rather slow working. Originally posted by Teral: The problem is an acid strong enough to dissolve a bending unit, who can survive swimming in lava (It's dolomite, baby!), would take the suicide booth and a good chunk of the sidewalk too. There's a huge difference between heat resistance and resistance to corrosives. Anyway, how do you think those super strong acids are stored?  A teflon coating would make the booth both easy to clean and acid-proof.

Afterall he didn't mind being drilled in the head in "Insane In The Mainframe" or getting a hole stamped in his body in "Fra and The Slurm Factory".

A teflon coating would make the booth both easy to clean and acid-proof.  Yeah, but would it be water(liquid)-proof?  If you can see a lightflash through the cracks it would make sense that liquid could seep through as well, plus they'd have to teflon-coat every part of the interior. What if some acid got through the coin slot? It would destroy the suicide booth in a a´matter of days. And the Stop 'n Drop Suicide Company Ltd doesn't sound like one who's deeply concerned with consumer satisfaction (afterall who's going to complain), so they probably wont go to the length og bying expensive acid, when a quick EMP does the trick. Regular science: one Weapons grade balonium mumbo-jumbo: a billion I did remember something about an acid (I think it was hydrofluoric acid) being too aggressive for regular acid-bottles so they had to use something else, but couldn't remember if it was plastic instead of glass or vice versa.

That'll teach them for still using a coin-op machine in the year 3000. Get with the times, man! Besides I never said the acid solution was a good idea. In fact it's a very, very bad idea, seeing how it would significantly decrease the amount of customers they could serve. An EMP solution, however, should do nicely. Regular science: one Weapons grade balonium mumbo-jumbo: a billion  *shakes fist at Teral* I'll get you next time, Gadget Teral...next time! I did remember something about an acid (I think it was hydrofluoric acid) being too aggressive for regular acid-bottles so they had to use something else, but couldn't remember if it was plastic instead of glass or vice versa. HF has the ability to dissolve glass unlike most other acids, so storing it in a plastic bottle is probably a good idea.

Originally posted by Ranadok: In Obsoletely Fabulous, it was a dream, so I think that can be dismissed. As for HHRHGB, I think that was his personality on the disk, and the base Bending Unit operating system was left behind. Just like if I were to delete everything except Windows (or DOS, to use extremes) from my computer, it would still run, but only at a very basic level. It wouldn't be any fun. Yeah sorry, I forgot to mention the dream part... But in 'I second that emotion', when Bender gets sucked up to the giant can-opener, he says "You killed my father and now you've come for me!" or something in that direction... And in "War is the H-word", He takes the explosion from a bomb, and he nearly dies... And Zapp and Nixon meant to destroy the whole planet, including Bender... But in the end when he's guessing words that he almost never say, antiquing triggers the bomb, but he says "I'm okay"... But hey! - It's a cartoon! -Axl
