 The noodly, gangly arms and the legs with far too many knees are gone. The exoskeleton genuinely fits our tiny friend here, who hasn’t aged a single day since the Battlevoid Arc. That was twelve years ago.

The exoskeleton is Zib’s armor. As he says in the first chapter he appears in, “As long as I’m in here, I’m safe.”

Two of his fingers are in the exoskeleton’s gloves. It took him five of the twelve years he spent supposedly trapped in his timeline to truly get used to it.

The exoskeleton’s head can open up to reveal Zib’s. Or, if desired, the head can completely come off, as seen below. 

The exoskeleton is able to map, analyze and match Zib’s expressions to some degree or another. So what you’re seeing is expression he’s actually making, you’re just seeing it on the face of a beady-eyed robo Irken suit.

One drawback from improving the exoskeleton is the fact the torso no longer bends. Sure the arms and legs can bend pretty well, just not the torso.

Another drawback? Zib stupidly putting in a feature that forces the exoskeleton to crack open like an egg and drop him if someone holds him by the arms (something that is also seen in the chapter he first appears in). I’m sure it was a very good idea at the time, but Zib no longer thinks so. This is just his problem, he just don’t think. Use your brain, lil roach.
