If there’s a large cavity full of explosive material, that would be the ammo stores. If you want a big robot to self-destruct, the thing to do is rig the power supply that lets a couple-or-few tons of metal run (and fly) around like a maniac.

He doesn’t always kiss mad scientists, but when he does, he changes them from male to female instantly.
He is… the Most Interesting Dave In The World!

(Sorry, I just had to say it…)

As long as they’ve got Dave in their power on the Island, they can order him killed any time they decide it’s necessary. If it turns out that there’s some kind of bizarre case of mistaken identity going on, like this is some completely different Dave, they can always apologize and let him go. Death is a little more permanent, at least if you’re not a mad biologist.

“Davenport was capable of this”? Capable of reluctantly luring a murder-happy scientist and her war machine to the Conspiracy? Why is Dave always getting the rap for his crazy cohorts’ mess-ups?

As you all know, the real reason that Davenport was murdered – and the Daves are told this – is because in 2006 he will deliberately let someone die. Today, though, the Daves interpret Davenport’s threat by what he unknowingly does – by him being a Butterfly Of Doom. That doesn’t seem very fair of them.

It’s still unclear, though, why the Daves were sending Dave to the Island when they’d already deemed him dangerous enough to do him in once.

Well, that sums it up perfectly.

 Maybe you shouldn’t tell me, lest my head explode.

Yeah, our heros are the bad guys. Also, nuts.
