Panel 1 (russian):
VILIS: Wait a minute … I know this design! … Wasn't this robot promoted by the Red Army 5 years ago as an infantry superweapon - uh, something like the merciless butcher or what - and then nobody ever heard of it again?
IVAN: Well, that's true. Konan 1.0 Marsbot's outer design is based on the Zhestokiy myasnik 1.0 (“the cruel butcher 1.0”), but its inner workings and especially its programming have been completely redesigned and optimized as a working machine.
Panel 2 (russian):
IVAN: Before delivery, it was thoroughly tested again and scored 110 out of a possible 100 points for quality and fitness.
Dr Sukihara, I'm handing the robot over to you. It should be ready to work as soon as it is booted up and set up for you.
MIIKO: Very well.
Panel 2 (russian):
IVAN: Let me summarize: This morning will look like this. Dr. Sukihara and her Passepartout will put Konan 1.0 Marsobot into operation. When this is successfully completed, she will join Mr. Brucs and Dr. Stehlîk in the hypno-lesson and participate in the program over there.
MIIKO: Acknowredged, Commandah!
IVAN: Dr. Bernier and her Passepartout will visit the plant breeding labs and Arboreta again and take care of the crops there and record their inventory.
GISELLE: Aye aye, my Commandah!

On Mars, the marsonauts there have been living together with their Passepartout androids for years, much to their benefit.

Sometimes Giselle is just too emotional and can count herself lucky that the others don't listen properly. But when she's annoyed by Miiko's pseudo-military style, she just has to imitate her Japanese accent and reply, “Aye, aye, my fuehrer” – oops, sorry, “my commandah”.

So the outside was designed as a battle Droid and hopefully the inside was sufficiently de-militarized so it doesn't start killing everything in sight.

In these future times, the magic word is "recycling".
