I dunno. B.O.B. has a hat and moustache, a sense of personal style. He can’t speak, but he was a butler for Ashe’s family. Ashe spent a lot of time talking to B.O.B (her parents ignored her.) He’s been her constant companion, and was there when she got out of prison.
I feel if there were no humanity/sapience he wouldn’t be a kind of friend.
And presumably he was the family’s butler rather than Ashe’s exclusively, and he made the conscious decision to come with her and protect her on a life of crime.
B.O.B. being a servant to Ashe(and her family) may or may not be a conscious choice though. He just does whatever she tells him to. Besides B.O.B. though, what about the others? You can’t deny that there is some consistency with the dot pattern and some kind of rank system.
Bastion only has one, if that counts. It cannot speak human languages, but it obviously is very emotionally driven (what with its flashbacks and strong bond of friendship with Ganymede).
If you go on Overwatch’s website and read the description for the “Binray” comic, it states, and I quote: “In “Binary,” locals have spotted a Bastion unit roaming the woods, and they believe it’s only a matter of time before the dangerous omnic tries to destroy them.”
Exactly. Orginally omnic was the name of robot model (you know which one). With time omnic became synonym of robot.
For example in Poland at first TIR (Transport International Routie) we were using to name all vehicles which are part of the convention. Now TIR written as tir is just used to name all trucks here in Poland, even trucks which aren’t part of TIR convention. Tir became synonym of truck.
So omnic (starting with small letter) is synonym of robot
