comic goes full circle to the little girl at the very beginning of the comic.
I hope you guys have enjoyed this project. I started this comic in April of 2015 during the beginning of my 2nd year of medical school. It has taken a ridiculously long time, one page a weekend in between requests and other things I owed. I started a patreon to showcase these comic arts and It got me through a particularly stressful 3 trimesters. Originally meant to be a mechaphillia porn comic, I advanced the story, and realized pretty quick that I had grown beyond this basic idea. I fell in love with the world I had made up. And so I resolved to just finish my thoughts here, independent of whether or not anyone would take interest. some of you did, and I am very happy.
If any one of you have any questions about the process, the hardships, pitfalls, ect. or just want to know more about the lore of Atoll Lab give me a PM. I’d love to hear from you.
What happens now: I have to go back and edit out some of the adult content panels, make fixes ect. And then after a break id like to advance the Prince Tomcat side story a little bit while I plan and preppare for the next iteration of Atoll Lab, as well as some 3D blender work im interested in learning.
Special thanks to Cerebralerror, Gunnerrott, for turning the shitty dry ass k-rations I call dialogue into something manageable. Good editors/proofreaders are valuable and should be squirreled away when you find them.
shout out to the love of my life Aeroingo, who took time out of his music career to talk me down, and prop me up when I felt like shit some days.
Please leave me any questions or comments down at the bottom!
Prince Tomcat of grumman:
***trash pile***
One week and i’m in holiday o/
you know how many pages left fot his comics ? and for the other one, Prince Tomcat of grumman ?
I’m hyped for every page 😀
@Jean: back from vacation now! I’ll be making a post about that soon. For now, I’m nearing close to the end of this comic.. I think maybe it’s more wise to make a push to the end then start on anything else.
Holy fuck I remember Bryn! I remember her sex page you made waaaaay back! Ah, good times.
@Gingy hah, you would remember a large Swedish boat lady wouldn’t you? I think Brynhildr was the first boat on human porn I made too. Those 2 were always going to be coming near the end and have an weird little origin story too. For the most part, Lemarchand threatened them to go to Ala Isla to save No-No’s family. He’s a horrible ass even when he tries to do good.
Cool beans
Impressive, Rocket glasses still fine after all that hehe.
Oh Brutal I wasn’t expecting such a in your face response from Lemarchand, what an awesome comic so far Ratbat!
Reading the other responses and comments, it is hard to kill off characters when you become attached to them but it makes for a more ‘real’ story… And considering the subject material and you still manage to make it feel real is incredibly impressive. I think this has become my favorite online comic and I look forward to every new post. I hope you still enjoy telling these stories and making these comics as we all enjoy reading them.
@Zara : sorry for the late response, I’m away from the computer atm but I’m going to update with all the cool stuff I’ve seen at the usaf museum soon. Lemarchand is a cool cat, but also a pain in the ass. At least it wasn’t 6 deaths…
@clog Yeah, but still, it was a good story ;’)
Man that sad they had to die like that i honestly hoped they would win the fight without any lost of lives. This make bit depressed because they sufferd alot during thier time on atoll and i thought they would leave that place and live their life somewhere better.
@sora: in the original story everyone actually lived. But at the tone of the comic shifted from a porn story to an actual serious story, I thought given their situation they were set up to fail without weapons or warning that a huge warship monster was coming to eat them. They only won because they had a left over bomb they restored— witch could have also been apart of Lemarchands plan for all they know.
@... jean56f : Don’t worry there’s probably more stores “LIKE PRICE TOMCAT! ahm ahm” or something different.
@Ratbat
NOOOOOOOO :((
@... Ratbat : aaah
hmmm….vary suspicious Ratbat “its all downhill from there” i guess i’ll figure it out later hmmm i wonder what it means?
@... Clog: well that it to say.. their are about 10 pages left.
Oh wow I hope those Cyborg Girls are tough, that’s going to be one hell of an explosion! Awesome new entry into the Comic Ratbat this is so good!
@... ZARA: one more page.. its all downhill from there.
Wow this page really shock me i didnt think lemarchand can take control over the half machine. In the bio you made about him i thought he limited to only dire machine does this include the morph machine as well. great job on another page and hard work on makeing this.
@... Sora: Lemarchand can control All the machine subtypes except for other success machines whom are never really sane to begin with. He has tremendous power to do evil through this power, but usually uses it to troll people for entertainment.
What in the world did she think she was going to accomplish.. other then get killed.
@Norean: it’s Not Rocket in control of her body. Lemarchand is using his body possession powers . He’s kind of an ass.
Doing great my life aint too special just going to work then going home eat sleep and all of it is rince and repeat. But at times i go out with my family or playing video games with my freinds.
I’m fine, I deal everyday with my job and some shitty things you can find in France ( sadly in us too i guess), like bad Drivers, strikes and loneliness. But I’m good, plenty stuffs to di and This website to spend good time 😀
and you ?
Jean: i had no idea your from france wow how you doing over there
Im surprised you already posted up another page i really happy for your hard work on making this. Do you get enough time to draw stuff or realx a bit in your life.
it’s fun cuz my hometown in France is called La Rochelle :v
Ugh i just re read what i wrote and it dosent make sense . what ment to put was i appreciate you looking other art work about rochelle. And the first part of the sentence was little off then what i ment to type up.
Lol sorry if made you think that way .I didn’t think when said all that about rochelle you think of me still appreciate for you doing that though it kinda hard looking for human in car or planes movie artwork. Hey is there one character you find attractive from the movies kinda of curious if have you one.
@Ratbat take your time, I can’t wait for more, but take your time c:
Omg new page thank you ratbat for more of the comic it really great to see what happened next. Also i know it a serious battle their haveing but Harrison face looks adorble with little puffy face he has on the fourth pannel you drew.
@... Sora: Thank you so much for even trying to read this with how slow the updates are X3. I made an attempt to find some Japanese pixiv art on Rochelle, but I turned up mostly empty handed. When I see that character, I think of you.
Anyway, I try to add some cute little mannerisms to the machines when I can. Their is really no time to get to know Char, or Harrison, or anyone else right now. Its on fast forward.
I know what it’s supposed to be but is her Bataan a golf wedge?
@Gingy : it supposed to be a leather rideing crop, But now I cant unsee the golfclub. Not only is she strict but she beats other vehicles with a golf club XD jk
@Ratbat 23… I feel old, and i’m not even old 😮 WITCHCRAFT !
@Ratbat Best birthday gift, another page \o/
@Jean: Your birthday?? oohh how old?
-rb
Man i would really would like to see what the lovely captain could do to those guys. Great job cant wait to see it colored also what vehicle she based on.
@Sora: 20mm gun baby! Lady LAV is very strict. Im happy I was able to pull off the silly anime mortified faces on the 2 machines in the bath. Poor guys have been BUSTED.
-rb
Well. I guess it is too late to ask for Buford to live? He is a great looking tank and one I took a liking too once I learned of it’s existence.
Norean: Dont worry! buford and leo will be fine. youl see next page 😉
Holy crap! The last panel of grumman comic just presses my buttons so perfectly. I love it!
@... Kubak: Time to make more pages. I had to take a 2 month Hiatus for life reasons but i am happy you are tuneing in the (infrequent) comic exploits of talking airplanes.
Gingy, it’s entirely possible some brave men have tried… Their bodies will never be found.
And I think by the time a ship has evolved energy shields, all bets are off as to it’s general performance. 😛
MY WORDS!
@page50 But why? Y u du dis? Y u no accept my luv and be happy? I bet all she needs is a good time with someone, a cruise down the beach, a refuel with some alcohol in it, a nice and crispy steel dinner with some natural oil, maybe even a vacation to Pearl! Or maybe she’s rather a rowdy one, and likes to shot her guns and race along, wrestling with storms and smashing clumps of ice! Or she just needs some good dickin’ or whatever. She needs to unwind ‘fore she goes killin’ everybody.
But of course it’s your story so do as you wish: and a tip for the fight is Iowas really don’t like turning, and really don’t like stopping. And with that rather thin hull and displacement, won’t take much to list ‘er.
Okay so she isn’t just a mindless zombie. She can actually speak, I wasn’t aware of this fact. I like it. Makes me thing it might, and I mean that in the smallest possible case, be possible to calm them down.
I love it so far Ratbat, can’t wait for more 😀

Guys, major case of sexy right here. New FA-18 Hornet on the horizon with stealth attributes, more capable performance, and sexy as ever-even sexier! My loins burn with the desire for her loving touch!
Oh shit I almost pissed myself when I looked at the latest panel, Neodym is a scary sight. Might as well put an extra six with the 666. Because she looks like she is sent straight from hell itself.
you know that felling you get when you believe one of you’re favorite characters is dead. I got that, got it bad. :/
I might be terribly wrong as English isn’t my native language but isn’t there a misspelling in last dialogue box? “exploasion” I mean.
kabak: you are correct. I am bad at English even though it is my first language XD
Douglas,Lol,he really disappeared (street magic)I think it will appear on pages 50-55 (but not exactly,and maybe forgot about him Ratbat ;( )
@... Ratbat I believe I know deep inside, but what happened to the Abrams in the 12th square.
Douglas: What do you figure?? (its probably not good tho)- rb
I think the boss will win very easy,the planes are easy to destroy and he won’t even be able to prevent this because the old air defense able to shoot down targets flying at high speed and at high altitude.F-117 is very cute 😉 (stupid translator)
Possibly the cutest Nighthawk I’ve ever seen in my life
@Darkbreed: the F-117 most people dont even consider because its not really aerodynamic. Its my unofficial airplane husbando tho.
Hurr durr durr a-hurr hurr durr a-hurr durr durr hurr durr durr a-durr durr QUACK
@... APlaneFücker: Basically.
Ratbat: Sorry, it’s just a tiny criticism, but by using .JPEG images instead of .PNG comic pages like 43 end up getting issues with compression artifacts. The size is great, and I like it, and the quality is also amazing bar that one issue.
Phenos: I will use PNG from now on then. 🙂
Absolutely love the comic, and can’t wait to see more. Any chance there might be a way for people to download all the pages in source quality, once it’s finally finished?
Phenos: Hello there, when you mean source quality is it because the you think the images are too small? I got em currently at 1000 x 1200+ but just curious.
Wow, what a cool story and amazing graphic art! I stumbled across this when Google gave me a “related image” on a search for the British R34 airship “Tiny…” Related how, I’m not sure, but “Atoll Lab” is amazing and I need this in my life! I can’t wait to find out what happened to all the dire machines. Keep writing, please!
Whammy: hey whammy thanks for the shout out! The comic is a slow process but I think finishing it is necessary to kind of lay some of the ground work in telling the story. I’ll be sure to let my editor cerebral error know as well. Are you a fan of sentient non human stuff or just a military fan?
@... Ratbat Yeah now I wait this more than other things \o/
Yay new page \o/
thanks for this Ratbat !
@... Jean: Yep! more on the way! Although I want to make a new scientific study page as well.
Holy shiiiit I didn’t know you’d even started this! It’s awesome so far! I really envy your ability to make comics like this. 🙂
@... Spitfire: XD hey thank you! Its defiantly a labor of love even though there wasn’t time for a lot of porn. (id have to fill that part in later if I had time).
Its a very quick summery of part of the origin story. And though I may not make for an entertaining writer I can atleast promise you a box full of talking vehicles.
