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 [[Gallery#Fembot Central User Galleries|manip art]] by [[Fembot Central]] members.

===Westworld style===

In the movie [[Westworld]], robots were the main attractions at a luxury resort called [[Delos]].  Robots were shown in Robot Repair being [[Repair|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.{{clear}}

===Futureworld style===

In [[Futureworld]], the sequel to Westworld, the robots of Delos were shown to have a more technologically advanced look than before.  The distinguishing features of this style are the shield-shaped opening in the robot's head and the lack of connecting cables and wires attached to the underside of the facemask.  The electronics inside the head also have a less human-like appearance and layout than that of other faceoff styles.  Faceoff scenes of this style are also fairly common in TV and movies, as well as in the art and manips of fembot central members.{{clear}}

===Other types===

Other styles of faceoff can be seen to hold a wide variety of electronic patterns and human-like features.  Some are designed to look as inhuman as possible, while others can be seen as mimicking the skeletal form of a skull and its skin.  Some contain complex constructions of wiring, circuit boards and other exposed electronic components, while others are meant to give the impression of a polished and professionally designed computer interface.  The manner of opening can differ greatly too.  Some facemasks can be removed completely, while others split and remain attached to the head as they open.  These faceoff styles make up the remainder of faceoffs seen in TV and movies, and in art and manips by Fembot Central members.  Many examples of these can be seen in the example images below.{{clear}}
