Plus regenrative ability.The tissues will heal over time. The geckos are most likely some kinda organic robot like he says.

So is some antifreeze. So they could, potentially, be completely robotic.

Are we sure it is even blood. I mean maybe it is a lubricant like transmission fluid or something.

I always figured Ray, appearing more robotic, was leaking hydraulic fluid, you can imagine how much it would take to power those legs, haha. But I think of the geckos as having biomechanical legs. They move very organically and you can see the muscles in them...but they don't have bones...that wouldn't make technical sense when they have the synthetic structuring that they do. Of course, this thread is completely pointless; it's kind of likedebating that a Delorian doesn't travel through time when it hits 88mph.

By definition anything organic is most likely moist. And anything moist means there's at least some volume of liquid inside it. The fluid in the gekkos might not be exactly blood, could be anything else, like some guy said it could be oil.

And also any complex machines have to have some kind of fluid in it. Its not mandatory but so happens to require it so they'll run. You could also argue a computer has "blood" because it streams data constantly everywhere and that the data would be the "blood". The human body itself has more than one type of fluid in it. All in all, there's a lot of ways you could argue this.

Its blood they said it in one of the pod casts i belive (or maybe on website) but its synthetic muscles which require blood.

also of topic but sorta similar.... when the gekkos stand straght up and shake and a greenish fluid sprays out its lactic acid from the muscles

Because hes a dirty old man? I think so

That did always put me off. It was a rather unsettling 'Uncle Paul molester' mustache.

Not sure why, but things like this, somehow, make me like MGS even more...
