Retrievers need blutricity to function. There are at least two possible explanations for why it might appear otherwise that I can think of:

1) All RP2 machines that need blutricity will conduct blutricity. For example, if you have three retrievers right next to each other, supplying blutricity to one end of the row will power all three. You do not need to wire each machine as long as they touch another machine that's powered. (You can also wire from a powered machine to another, which is handy!) It may be that your "unpowered" retriever was touching a powered device.

2) All RP2 machiens that need power have internal storage, so if you took out a wire powering your retriever and it kept working, it was running off of the internal stored power and will eventually stop.

The retrievulator, however, does not need blutricity.
