My question is why are they even bothering to redesign the dang artwork on the Probot, when there are SO SO SO much more important things that we have asked for and HAVEN'T been resolved.


I do not ever recall the TOP 5 Droid Engineer Issues ever having a gripe about the way the frarking Probot skin looked.

I love having probots. But I am afraid its appearance is similar to a giant Metal Muffin on a stick.

OMG! I hoped that maybe it just did not photograph well. I was wrong. I went on TC and pulled out my Probot. Not only is it ugly, but changing the color on the new one makes even LESS difference than it did on the old one. I tried all the colors out on it, and only black and 'white' were even a little visible. I could see no visual difference in the vast majority of the colors.


With so much else that needs to be worked on, why, why, are you doing things like this?

One thought. Take it out. Put the old one back in. Add the SOUNDS instead! If they gonna fix something on the probots, fix the noises. Geesh. What are they thinking? Instead of wasting time on this cartoon model... they could have instead made a new droid type for DEs. Thanks alot devs. We asked for NEW droid chassis..We didn't ask for you to butcher the old ones!



No I don't have a freakin sig. Just make something up and pretend it's here man. woman. umm...Whatever.

Yeah, that is a pretty ugly probot. I hope that it does not make it to live.

Figures. They fix something that isn't broken, and ignore all the things that really need fixing. :-(

Don't like it. I agree that it doesn't look quite real. It looks hurridly made, and pushed out no matter what.

Don't like the look of it but so what. Not like its getting out of the datapad any more often than the old one. Speaking of datapads, can I get a calculator function on the stupid thing? I can pull a rancor out of it but can't do a little long division?

As mentioned above, the Art Director saw the screenshot and stated that that is wrong. Somewhere, somehow, it got broken. They have no new skin for the probot designed nor implemented. They are looking into it and will fix the error and have the ol' Probot lookin' the way it did before.


Again, this was an error and NOT a programming change. No new skin for the probot.


Sorry, it is 4am and have been grindin' Brawler for the last 4 hours...

As posted on the identical thread on the TC forum, this is a bug- we were adding some functionality to the probots and we accidentally broke two of the levels of detail. Since we are at the deadline for the publish I don't know exactly when the fix will get to test center.

Thanks for the strong concern about the probot- it will be back to normal as soon as possible.
