A silly AU idea for Dispatch:
Arc Reactor-powered Robert.
The cause of the coma that Robert went into was Shroud basically stabbing him through the heart. The Mecha Man Suit was destroyed- but Robert managed to save the one Astral Pulse canister that didn't blow up in the fight. That same canister is now the one thing that serves as his heart in place of his original. It's so funny- one slight interruption or even the briefest second where his vitals glitch and Blonde Blazer, Chase and Royd are basically vaulting over every desk and chair like they're playing Temple Run, sprinting at Mach 9 towards him while he's like "guys I'm fine-" before proceeding to get jumped and dragged off to medical care
