IMO, Tiesel's eyes are red either because he's wearing contacts or some super futuristic goggles, or he's albino, thus explaining his whitish hair.
As for Barrel, he is definately a cyborg because part of his head is robotic. I wonder if his bionic eye has X-ray vision?

No, he's not albino. If you take a look at his family portrait, he has normal eyes.

It was obviously a joke. And how can you tell by his family portrait? It's done in brown, yellow, and black!

Here's the secret, straight from Teisel Bonne's mouth when I interviewed him last month for Gentlepirates Quarterly: " Am I a cyborg? Certainly not. This sky pirate's all man, thank you very much. I don't think I've ever been asked such a thing in my entire---
SUPER BLUSH!!! Aiee!!! *giggles out of control* Ahahah I think I love you aarond lol! I can't wait to read your fanfictions lol As for Bon, No one has suggested it yet so I thought I'd mention that perhaps the Bonne parents are more able than people tend to think. I mean sure Tron is a genius mechanic but what of her folks? Wouldn't they have taught her a bit about building? Just as Roll's father built machines. So what if Bon is really the last bot built by the folks? An idea ;D

I recall seeing on the portrait a young boy. Maybe like someone said he was in an accident and tron built a new body. Or maybe her lost his whole body but his brain and put it in a robot head that can express emotions 0_o

Hmmm, interesting thought, Shell. I imagine them very upper-classy but maybe it was just for that picture. All I know is that the mother is dead. The father, who knows?
Funny that the Forgotten Bonne* has a lot of discussion material behind him.
(*Yes, that was a Simpson's reference.)
On the subject of Teisel and Barrell's eyes, I like one thing someone back at MMLU (forgot) mentioned: They're blind. When it comes to digging in the Legends world, losing limbs must not be an uncommon occurance.

Good points for the eys... I think they might be either monocles or maybe something more sinister like... a fashion statement? ; *ahem* As for Bon, I like to imagine him as a normal genious super-baby craddeled inside a massive robotic body, which he controls using some sorta crazy... joysticks and buttons. I could see a baby doing that. *nods* But honestly... who knows? o-o I mean... Tron calls the Servbots her kids, and she built them, so couldn't the same hold true for Bon?

Interesting point, Shelldragon, about their parents building Bon and them treating him as thier brother. That's kinda like you consider a dog or cat your parents bought as kind of a sister/brother.

Barrel's green eye is from a Reaverbot. I'm pretty sure they actually call it by name---"a Reaverbot eye"---in one of the games. I guess Teisel's could be, too, but I don't know. Maybe its a fashion statement, and he's always wearing tinted contacts.

You think all of that's dandy, what about Glyde?

Glyde is not a cyborg, although he wears Digger's armor. He also likes Birdbots (but not both oysters AND clams).

In Mega Man X, Sigma has red eyes like Teisel's. Maybe there's some kind of relation there, or maybe that whole "red eye" thing is something Capcom does to make their characters look interesting. But here's all I know, or can imply:
1) Teisel and Glyde's armor are just digging suits, though I'm not sure how much digging they actually do.
2)Barrell probaby wasn't born with that metal plate on his head. Not sure about his eyes though...but since he checked out the damage when the Flutter crashed on Kattelox in MML, and he was reading analog meters when it lost power shortly before, he probably isn't blind, and therefore Teisel isn't either.
As for Bon Bonne...well, there are a few possibilities. If Glyde is correct and the portrait in Teisel's room is of Teisel, Bon, and Tron (making the little boy Bon), then perhaps there could have been an accident somehow and that explains Bon's robotic body (like the little boy in Full Metal Alchemist.)
However, perhaps the picture is of just Teisel and his parents (note in the picture the lady who looks like Tron isn't that much shorter than the man she's standing next to, whereas after the battle with Bruno in Legends, when Tron and Teisel were juxtaposed, Teisel was significantly taller.) In that case, Bon may have just been a robot (or a baby in a robot shell for protection).
There is an off-chance that the picture might be of some ancient ancestors of the Bonnes as well, and have very little to do with Tron, Teisel and Bon at all. Then again, it's a very debatable topic...

I'm pretty sure that family portrait are the parents of Teisel and Tron and here's why: I'm not sure entirely what the Japanese says but that little baby is Tron and the assumed is that the kid in the picture is Teisel when he's 13/14ish.

There was a chibi-Tron in that picture??? I didn't even see that. The resolution on my TV isn't too good either and I didn't quite see the back of Teisel's hair. Thanks for clearing that up.
