A malfunction is an event where a fembot fails to function properly. This can result in a wide variety of unintended and erratic behaviors. These may range from socially inappropriate actions, motor impairment or even cessation of the fembot's operation.
Malfunction can precede, accompany or follow damage. However, malfunctions are different from damage in that while they also fall outside of a fembot's normal operation, they do not result in immediate physical harm.
Causes
Malfunctions are caused by something in the fembot functioning incorrectly or being obstructed from functioning at all. As such, malfunctions can emerge from a fembot's hardware, her mechanical and physical components, or her software, the collections of instructions on which a fembot operates.
Examples
Due to their wide range of causes and seriousness, malfunctions can be represented by a wide variety of fembot-related trope.
- In the movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, the titular character Austin Powers somehow overloads Frau Farbissina's fembots with his "mojo". Unable to process so much sexiness, they start looking surprised, then start jerking and overheating, before finally exploding. This scene is not to be confused with Vanessa Kensington's one in the sequel Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, where she is purposely designed to explode.
- In the movie Cherry 2000, the titular robot Cherry gets accidentally wet, and suddenly starts sparking. She then loses all motor control, and a hear a loud beeping is heard before she eventually shuts down.
- In the movie Westworld, the main protagonist attempts at making a chained woman drink. It is revealed she is just another robot when she starts sparking and smoking.
- In the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Buffybot gets damaged by a vampire and loses her sense of direction, causing her to bang into objects.
- This trope is at the basis of most of Fection's art and writings. The character Candy, for example, is often shown as being unable to process paradoxes and even basic calculations, which ultimately leads to her demise.
