From the broke-Probot-graphics thread:






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.

Adding some functionality? What, pray tell?

I would have to go with selfdestruct as well.
Isnt that what a probot did when Han and Chew found one in on Hoth in "The Empire strikes back" ?

Instead of having your precious probot fall in to the hands of a pack of womp rats you can now take a few steppes back. Press the selfdestruct button and voila no more probot.

I predict that this will increase our return sale dramaticaly.

Just a thought, hope I'm wrong, but I remember hearing that Probots would be requiring Weapon modules to function. I wouldn't be too surprised if they decided to put that requirement in now, and then the weapon modules themselves in next publish


As i said, Hope I'm wrong

As a bonus , they will now use the old Trooper vocals as they drift along


"Move along!", "Can I help you , citizen?" , and newly added "Looks , sir! Droids!"

Probots now fall apart completely when they 'die'. This means you have to gather the parts and it will regenenerate in your Datapad.


Oh...and...they also added a Harvey's Bristol Creme dispenser module to the Probot schematic.


Enjoy!
