Eating Machine	comment	This trope is for robots and cyborgs with primarily robotic bodies that consume human food and drink. This is very common for a Ridiculously Human Robot who may need to eat food to maintain the Masquerade, but it's certainly not limited to that trope. Some robots consume food as a power source (calories powering machines is something that exists in the real world, though in very early stages) either for convenience or rarely for horror. Other robots may eat food they have no way of processing and no logical need for as pure Rule of Funny hedonism and to anthropomorphize otherwise non-human machines. Despite being unable to digest food, don't be surprised if caffeine, sugar, or alcohol still somehow affects a robot's behavior. Many robots that can eat food also have a distinct preference, whether it be for something that's easy for their system to convert to energy or whether it be just the same tasty junk foods that humans love. Alcohol and sweets are popular for both reasons. Not to be confused with a Big Eater, which some people would refer to as 'an eating machine', although they may overlap. Compare with Metal Muncher, which involves robots eating something that isn't similar to human food.

His favorite food is niku-don, and he's shown eating some in one episode — half a dozen bowls and then some, when we see it. Side materials indicate that it's for his own mental health, as the food simply gets burned inside him and provides no nutrients. He is the only non-human character shown eating in the show (excluding Mamoru and Kaido) — the Yuusha Corps like drinking oil though, while J and Lune aren't shown to eat.

Eating Machine / int_ac4b6a62	comment	Questionable Content: Pintsize loves to pig out on cakes despite having no stomach or really even containing space for the food, leaving Marten to have to power him off and clean him out more than once. Pintsize and the other AnthroPC's have a rather ambiguous attitude towards eating stuff. Early on in the comic, Pintsize claim to be able to eat and taste food, thanks to an onboard spectrometer — he stores it in a compartment of his chest, then evacuates it later. It's somewhat gross. Later, however, he gets a new chassis, which apparently lacks this function, but that doesn't stop him from eating — just makes it a bad idea. As he is heard saying once, "That was SO worth the massive motherboard damage..." In another strip, Millefeuille (who is already drunk due to downloading a drunkenness simulator) drinks ouzo, and when asked where it goes says "We'll all find out together!" A few strips later, she cries it out.

Eating Machine / int_aca0ecd9	comment	In Girls' Frontline, T-Dolls can receive energy through food. Griffon & Kryuger's standard MREs are the most efficient in this regard but are said to be unpleasant. Many Dolls prefer certain foods (FNC has a Sweet Tooth and especially loves chocolate, NS2000 is a curry aficionado, AA-12 is never seen without at least one lollipop and WA-2000 secretly likes chocolate ice cream), and some, such as SAT-8, F2000 and SPAS-12, have bigger appetites than others. Seriously, the latter talks about food all the time.
