hi all I have to say is that,I LOVE,what you do for 1010 especially the comic,1010 is so much more than meets the eye and God craving for more info that is not canon but ACCURATE, it's just so nice seeing people's ideas and theories/thoughts ab it, thank you so much
Thank you! Thank you~! I really have way too much love for this fictional military robots turned boy band that I'm so glad to have others to share my obsession with hehe XD XD XD
I think what I love about 1010 is there's so much POTENTIAL in their story. They've got a great foundation concept and I absolutely love all the different (and sometimes similar!) ideas other fans come up with ^_^
(Also I'm weak for robots finding Emotions and Found Families trope)
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
FYI, I have posted the Lost & Found comic on AO3 for ease of reading. ^_^ Also, THANK YOU for for all the awesome comments and likes! I squeal rather unbecomingly everytime I see one 😅
Okay as much as I love the idea of each of the 1010 boys being sentient and having seperate personalities, it does raise a question.
Have any of them ever had an existential crisis about the fact that they can be replaced? Like, if one of them gets destroyed the flying factory can just pop out a complete copy?
Like, the flying factory just pops out another 1010 bot right IN FRONT OF THEM during the battle with BBj, and they have no reaction to it, so they have to have been aware at least some time PRIOR to the fight.
Do they EVER think about this????
Like do they ever have some kind of existential monologue?

LOL I will be the first to admit that I'm totally guilty of over-indulging in fanon 1010. I too really like the idea of robots gaining ✨emotions and feelings✨ and questioning their value and self-worth! The drama~! The angst~! Are they merely tools to be so easily discarded and replaced or something moar?? 👀 It's such good stuff that it's actually the core story idea behind another comic I'm working on! (ppl might have seen my wips of "Repair Work"?)
But fan self-indulgence aside, in canon, 1010 actually seem very... nonchalant about being destroyed...? I mean, this was their idiotic (affectionate) reaction to being Shakalaka-Bammed by B2J:
Poor Neon J seems like the only one concerned. (Aww, he's shielding them, so sweet 🤗) It's almost like 1010 can't even *comprehend* the concept of death. Are they simply not that sentient? Or do they not worry because they can be easily rebuilt by the factory? Perhaps their robot bodies are merely wireless avatars they operate remotely while 1010's actual central processing server (aka consciousness) is stored somewhere safe like Barraca Mansion.
It would explain how quickly they fall back in sync even after being destroyed and how callously Neon J blows up their bodies during his Phase 3 fight. Because the body is just a shell and their actual processor is somewhere else? But that's just my fan theory.
I mean, at the end of day, 1010 is obviously a play on the whole 'idol churning machine' and the 'inherent fakeness and artificialness of performers' etc... etc...
And let's be honest: At face value, they don't seem as emotionally complex as us fans make them out to be.
SO IS IT ALL IN OUR HEADS? DO IDOL-ROBO-BOYBAND NOT FEEL???
Well. Hmm. They do seem rather *ahem* robotic when they fought against B2J and showed no indication they had individual personalities.
....Except for one last image in the end credits:
If (unfeeling machine) then why { 1010.action = read fan mail + get excited; subroutine(1010_green.getMail == 0) run (1010_green.action = sad;) }
I guess if we're to take a more nuanced middle-ground, 1010 probably doesn't suffer from as much emotional distress as we love to portray in fanfic (BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT INTERESTING DAMMIT) however, they do show some degree of sentience and differing personality based on that End Credit image. 😎
If I am allowed to ramble on your post a bit I would like to throw my own two cents in on this. I would put it in the tags but it was getting too long . I will fully admit that I am 100% a subscriber to the fannon sentient 1010 headcannon, but I do think it has a bit more root in cannon if you take the repurposed warbots in Metro Division into consideration.
In Metro Division there is a post office that is overflowing with mail (assumed overflow because there are letters on the ground). When you interact with it, the flavor text mentions that the warbots have fake memories and they’re writing back to their non-existant families.
(Sorry if my pictures are blurry)
Sending home letters doesn’t serve any functional purpose to these warbots, so presumably there has to be an emotional drive to it (I can’t imagine it would be useful to program “get sentimental/sad and write home” into warbots meant to fight). Considering that the fake memories were to make them fight harder, it would make sense that emotions would only serve to make them fight even harder.
(Also based on Mayday’s dialogue, specifically “It doesn’t seem so sure by the end”, you could argue that maybe they’re starting to realize their memories are fake, which may imply sentience for being able to recognize that??? Or the start of gaining sentience??)
We also know that 1010 developed from MKI to MKIII, and the earliest, MKI, is in a more standard soldier uniform. Whether or not they actually served as warbots or were designed as such for theming purposes, they probably still shared a lot of the same initial components. It would make sense to recycle spare warbot parts and programs into new robots if they’d just be laying around otherwise.
So if 1010 are developed from/after warbots, they probably share a lot of the same hardware and software, meaning Neon J probably just modified the existing emotion software (assuming it exists) into something that can generate lovable stage personas. Due to this, I don’t think its unreasonable to assume 1010 has at least some emotion.
Additionally, emotion would probably go to make them a lot more likable by fans. Humans love human connection, so the more human those robots are, the more fans they might get.
Emotion of any extent would need complex programing, meaning it would be beneficial to have a cloud or central hub that they operate from/get backed up to. Assuming that these emotions develop and drive different patterns of behavior, changes to their AI (or whatever they run on), or other stuff that may affect how they act, losing a 1010 member would be a HUGE SETBACK. Not only would the new 1010 have to start over developing all those pathways again, they would probably develop differently than the previous one, which fans would probably not like. Like you said above, having that backup would also help them jump back into rhythm in battle considering how fast they get thrown back into it.
Most fannon stuff (including mine, lol) assumes that 1010 has sentience as well, which, if they have emotion, is probably not too far of a stretch in this fictional world of more advanced tech. They could then recognize that, assuming everything above is true, if their current body gets destroyed, they just go to a new one as the same person, explaining their nonchalance about being destroyed by B2J.
This backup process would also explain Neon J just throwing them at B2J without hesitation (also like you said). But when the factory is destroyed he tries to protect them. Because the factory is where 1010 comes back from when they’re destroyed, I assume that’s where their consciousness is backed up to. Without that factory, if their current 1010 bodies get destroyed, they’re gone, and NJ will have to start from scratch again. 1010 don’t realize that, which is why they don’t seem to care about being destroyed.
As far as how 1010 acted during the fight, considering how military Neon J is, I imagine that’s all strict protocol. On stage for actual performances or when interacting with fans they probably have some more freedom, but you need to be coordinated during a battle. Neon J has battle plans and they have to stick to them because this is a dangerous situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if all their dialogue at the start was scripted by Neon J himself. And during the fight, NJ’s barking commands the whole time that 1010 has a respond call for. Everything about that fight screams strictly rehearsed to me, they didn’t have a lot freedom to do anything else.
And who knows, maybe the fics are accurate. Almost being permanently killed by B2J may have triggered a lot emotions and maybe even the beginning of sentience development if they didn’t have it already.
tldr: Based on how the repurposed warbots write letters home, they likely have some emotion. Assuming 1010 was developed from the same kind of programming, 1010 probably has emotions as well, and maybe even sentience depending on how you view having emotions. Having a backup or cloud for 1010 would be beneficial so as not to lose the already existing personalities. When the factory was destroyed, this cloud or backup was also destroyed, hence Neon J trying to protect them. It’s still headcannon, but whole emotion and sentience thing is more supported in cannon than people may think.
YEAH. YEAH!
This is really good collection of the world building surrounding 1010 that takes place in Metro District. You really hit it on the nail why I think so many fans are drawn to the idea of sentient 1010 because so much groundwork was already laid that while not explicit, it's still plausible. ^_^
Also, this does make me feel better making my way-too-overdramatic comics heeeh 😬

Since you mentioned being interested in asks, here's one for you! Aside from EDM, what kind of music do you think Neon J and 1010 enjoy the most?
I don't know about genre or anything but this song immediately popped into my head 😂
PART 3 PART 3 PART 3 PART 3 PART 3 PART 3 PART 3 PART 3 YIPPE!!!! PART 3 IS HERE I AM SO HAPPY RN YYYYYYYIIIIIPPPPPEEEEEEEEE!!!! *RUNS AROUND LIKE A FERAL ANIMAL* IT’S SO GOOD TOO OMG YIPPE YAY!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA- *explodes*

BUT! LINKS FIXED! NOW AM HAPPY.
HAPPY :D :D
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 (Fin) |
DONE! Thank you for reading this weird comic where I draw MK-1 White too cute, give everyone ~trauma~ and put a hat on White. Yes. The whole purpose of this entire comic was to draw him with his MK-1 hat on XD 👀
Neon J was all like 'this is temporary!!' then years later he's got four more. I may have accidentally depicted him like a cat lady. But with ex-military bots... ^_^;;
Neon J - Step 1: Don't get attached. Neon J - Step 2: Immediately fail Step 1.
OMG IT'S DONE. IT'S DONE!
A whooping final six pages! I'm gonna go through everything one last time to check if I missed anything but I hope to post last part of Lost & Found comic soon!
I hope the pacing is ok; because I took such a long break between pages I put a lot of effort into the flow. *cross fingers* I also erm... read a lot of manga/manhwa in between drawings and the influence is obvious hahaha... 😅😅😅
Phew~! Colouring and dialogue text is almost done for all final pages of Lost & Found. Aiming to get this comic done this month or else my lazy ass will procrastinate again. *determined* (* ￣︿￣)👍
Also! I noticed I picked up some new followers so hello hello! Pls feel free to reblog or comment or even send me an ask! ;)
Whoop! Whoop! I just finished drafting out the final last pages of Lost & Found! (～￣▽￣)～
I think once it's done I will upload the whole thing to AO3 so it's in one spot. Maybe also make a NEW tumblr post that has all pages? Hmm.
If 1010 had to sing a meme song, I'm leaning with 'Kiss from a Rose on the Grave.' On the grounds that it's great for harmonizing and has lots of opportunities for dramatic posing. You get to hear this because I finally decided to take a poke at the NSR fandom beyond "Carrith has pretty art with fun/cool/both stories, wheeeeee~" and I have literally no one else to inform of my revelation. Also, I see why everyone loves the boy-bots and their manager, they're even more fun than I thought!
Holy heck @greentrickster! I meant to reply to this immediately but was caught in the 'I will postpone this until I can marshal my thoughts into something markedly more coherent that actually contributes to your comment rather than a simple 'YAAAS HARMONIZING BOTS EEEE <3' squee of nonsense.
I failed.
So.
YAAAAAAS. 1010 MUSIC WOULD TOTALLY PLAY OFF EACH OTHER LIKE WITH FREAKISHLY ON POINT HARMONIZATION.
🤍💙💖💚💛
Also. Join me in the NSR fandom pool. Come. Come.
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 (Fin) |
I gave everyone trauma. Everyone gets trauma in this story. Now is Captain Neon J's turn. 😤 Again, a lot of (popular) fan ideas in this part -- like maybe Neon J had a human body before but lost it during the Border Wars. So now he has severe depression, hoarding and body image issues to cope with. Also, his hands aren't as nimble as they were when he was a human toymaker.
For MK-1 White, I gave him a lil' makeshift qwasa backpack because I had this idea that White has bad batteries/takes awhile to charge so Neon J just jury-rigged a temporary solution.
MK-1 White continues to be weirdly adorable. My fav panel is him learning to walk and tripping on a pile of garbage with his crooked hat. ^_^
Also thanks for continuing to read my (very, very slowly updating) NSR fancomics about robo bois and their cyborg dad being sad and learning about life. (～￣▽￣)～
WIP Update on next four pages of Lost & Found! I'm now 3/4 pages done woooo! Still need color and dialogue bubbles but it's getting there :3
WAHAHA. This page was HARD. I drew hands. So many hands. Storytelling through hands. Why did I do this to myself??
