One trope in a lot of sci fi is the sexualisation of female robots (the fembot) - male robots tend to be purely functional and clunky but female robots are clearly robotic male fantasy figures. The same goes for action heros - male action heroes are rugged, female action heroes are sexy. I thought it would be a funny idea to combine both these tropes and have a sexy female assassin robot for whom the designer's first priority clearly hadn't been how well it would function as an assassin.

This comic doesn't feature a very clear depiction of her, but without getting too spoilerish, the next comic probably will. However, if you can't wait until then, the hidden image in the comic will give you a sneak preview.

I've never actually used Snapchat, however, even without the reported iOS7 issue I'm not certain that it alerts people to screenshots quite as obviously as here.
