Obtain head, seat it properly. Obtain gnome, huck it at the robot as hard as possible. Obtain greatsword, charge the robot with greatsword (and try to dodge missiles).
(6)(5+4) (6-2)
Sticking your head back on, fine. Picking up yon gnome, fine. But as you throw the gnome, you realize that the ability to throw booming spirals with footballs doesn't equate to being able to throw people properly.
Never mind. The gnome is a clown, right? Clowns know how to tumble. You hurtle Gnwbimbar towards the robot, and then get on your metaphorical horse yourself, chugging away. Xin is still long distant from the robot when the rest happens.
If this interrupts Gnwbimbars planned action, he shall use his tinkering skill to find flaws in the robot's design instead.
Gnwbimbar manages to stick the landing and fall unharmed, bouncing twice before stopping, feet on the ground, hexapedal robot not far away. He then examines it closely, pulling out a monocle from nowhere and muttering under his breath.

It's a big metal box. No style to it. No beauty. Just lumps of metal slapped together into a utilitarian form. And it's way too big for proper gnome work.
Unfortunately, such utterances take up time, and Gnwbimbar is too affected by the utter depravity of this metallic creation to properly find the weak spots. The legs, maybe?
Terinas jams her spear into the gap in an attempt to off balance it.
(Automatic hit) (10+4) (6 vs 1d12+8, 19) (10 vs 1d12+6, 7)
The spear goes in easily enough, but scatters against something inside the rent, doing little damage. Immediate damage. It didn't destroy the leg, but it did hit something, and it did widen the gap. The application of more brute force works the second time, tearing the rent further and revealing some kind of rotating ball-thing deeper inside. Slamming the spear in again causes a nasty screeching sound, something tears loose, and one of the six legs is disabled. Metal continues to screech as the ball thing tries to rotate in a stuck manner, and blackish oily blood begins streaming out from the hole.
Steal a missile. Pluck it right out of the firing tube. It'll be fine.

Nope. The missle won't come out, not even when Noodles sticks a tentacle deep into the hole. It can be touched, and it can be shifted.. a little, twisted a bit, but there is no leverage for removing a multi-hundred pound missile from the slot from this angle. One tentacle isn't enough to do it, clearly, and Noodles isn't quite suicidal enough to stick most of his body in front of the business end of the missile launcher.
Instead of firing again, the small ready lights illuminating the missile tubes go out, and the open racks close back into the metal. Noodles, fortunately, withdraws his exploring tentacle before it gets caught in the edge, as the missile racks close back into the unblemished topside of the hexa-bot. It then, with one useless leg, begins turning around and walking slowly towards the concrete square and elevator, metal continuing to screech from the disabled joint. It is still paying no attention at all to Noodles, who is riding it, and Terinas, who caused significant harm with those last strikes.
