Faceoff

An iconic faceoff: Katy is revealed to be a fembot

A faceoff is the removal or opening of a fembot's facial covering. This covering is a type of access panel that allows the inside of her head to be shown. Some technosexuals find faceoffs to be the most erotic view of a fembot imaginable.

Variations

A fembot's face can be referred to as a facemask, faceplate, or some other similar term. The style of opening or removal can vary, as can the look of the electronics inside. Some facemasks come off completely, while others open on a hinge. Some facemasks are shaped to be the entire face, some an "oval" and some a "shield" shape.

The electronics visible inside the opened head can also vary a great deal. Sometimes the fembot's "eyes" can remain visible, along with the speaker that produces her voice. Other times, nothing but wiring, circuit boards and flashing LEDs are visible.

Franklin style

The fembots created by Dr. Franklin in the TV show The Bionic Woman had oval-shaped facemasks, seemingly made from rubber, that could be easily removed by pulling it. Beneath it was a metallic plate with various '70s era electronic components affixed to it, along with two glass eyes and a speaker. Many portrayals of fembots have used this basic pattern, and it is the most common to be found in TV and movies with faceoffs. It is also very common in manip art by Fembot Central members.

Westworld style

A manip by the artist Xeran

In the movie Westworld, robots were the main attractions at a luxury resort called Delos. Robots were shown in Robot Repair being repaired and maintained. The facemasks for these robots were shown to have the eyes built into them. When removed from the front of the head, the facemask remained connected to the rest of the robot's electronic system by means of a flexible bundle of cables and wires attached to the inside of the facemask. The inside of the robot's head was shown to contain an even less human-like appearance as that of the Fembots in The Bionic Woman. Rather than an electronic speaker, an open tube with a flared end was shown to project the robot's voice. This style of faceoff is also common in manip art by Fembot Central members.
