[Challenge accepted. He's going to find something cooler than weapons, just you watch! It's probably for the best that he doesn't know her internal monologue because he'd be mildly insulted. Instead, he's pulling what looks like a video game controller out of his bag and leaning against the counter to watch.
He knows Ruby doesn't know robotics but he can tell she's being careful with her inspection and she's trying to figure out how it all works.]
I'm not really sure what that means, but thanks? I guess? [He shakes his head, gesturing for Ruby to put the robot down.] Check this out. [As soon as Megabot's on the floor, Hiro's busy hitting a few buttons on the gamepad, watching the robot wobble and waddle to life. Its movements are clumsy and the little yellow smiley face beams up at Ruby as it spins on the floor. Hiro watches for her reaction before lifting his eyebrows, expanding the gamepad and hitting another few buttons.
Megabot's face flips to its ugly aggressive red and its movements pick up immediately, zipping across the floor and splitting into its three parts. Hiro's controlling the parts individually and showing a basic run of an invisible botfight. Pieces split and join together, Megabot moves and shapes itself and its joints flex enough to show the amount of pressure it can apply.] He's a battlebot. Like I said…you're looking at the best ex-botfighter of San Fransokyo. [Megabot continues to spin on the floor, crawling and rolling over Ruby's boots before Hiro starts to make it climb one of the legs of the workbench.] Nobody suspected it.
