'''Activation''', '''booting''' or '''start-up''' is a process that changes a fembot's operational state from "off" to "on".  This can also refer to a scene which depicts this process in fiction.  The fembot can be activated by a user, remotely, or by itself.  This can be done with a remote control device or an on/off switch built into the robot.  Some more sentient androids can activate themselves.  Starting an android up can be accompanied by verbally or graphically conveyed diagnostic information; sometimes accompanied by the make and model number of the android.  Often, a fembot that activates will give a default greeting when they come fully online.


An activation scene is often the first time a fembot character is shown to an audience, and this type of scene is also used to convey the fact that the character is a robot.  Other types of reveal tropes may be included in activation scenes, including [[access panel]]s, [[assembly]], [[robovision]] and [[robotic motion]].
In fembot terminology, '''activation''', also referred to as booting, start-up or powering up, is the process that changes a fembot's operational state from "off" to "on", and is thus the direct opposite of a [[shut-down]]. The fembot may be activated by a user or on its own, through a remote control device, a on/off switch built into the robot or a software command.


Scenes like this can also be followed by [[programming|programming or reprogramming]] scenes, and the purpose of these scenes can also be to convey to an audience that a character is a robot.
The activation process can be accompanied by verbal information on the fembot's model, its operating condition or its ongoing start-up operations. Visual and aural signs may also indicate a fembot powering up, such as glowing eyes or [[Electronic beeping|beeping sounds]].

Amy the Perfect Girl gets activated. By Fection.

In fembot terminology, activation, also referred to as booting, start-up or powering up, is the process that changes a fembot's operational state from "off" to "on", and is thus the direct opposite of a shut-down. The fembot may be activated by a user or on its own, through a remote control device, a on/off switch built into the robot or a software command.

The activation process can be accompanied by verbal information on the fembot's model, its operating condition or its ongoing start-up operations. Visual and aural signs may also indicate a fembot powering up, such as glowing eyes or beeping sounds.

Examples

  • In General's story Blue Chips, the character Jennifer is reprogrammed with new sexual parameters and rebooted.
Jennifer’s head raised back up and stared straight ahead. “Cyrex systems model 3057-101a. Prototype OS SPI2.5 – Jennifer 1.7. Commencing diagnostic.” She once again began slightly moving her body in a jerky fashion, and then said with a calm monotone voice, “Motor systems…nominal. CPU….nominal. Sensors….nominal. Communications…..note: wireless networking manually disabled. Memory……nominal. All systems are functioning within acceptable parameters.”
— Blue Chips by General
  • In Fection's animation A Thoughtless Vendetta, character Chantelle emerges from her stand-by mode as a phone rings, with her eyes widening and a beeping sound being heard.
